GIving Tuesday is December 2 !
Our College program currently has two participants, Ms. V , age 20 and Ms. T age A 19. Both of these young women work at Champey, with Ms. V involved with visitor engagement and general operations and Ms. T working as a dance teacher.
These two individual are, for the most part, fluent , self taught English speakers. Both of these young women are currently enrolled in evening classes and studying in their first year college curriculum. They are taking the foundational classes that are required to prepare to select a course of study for a degree.
Their committment is shown in their decision to pay 1/2 of their own tuition , taking advantage of the opportunity for Kasumisou Foundation to pay the remaining 50%. While it may seem like " small money" to those of us in the developed world, it is a sigificant financial committment with each student paying $ 300 and receiving a $ 300 grant from Kasumisou. A college education offers these young women an opportunity to lift themselves up . The completion of a degree will enable them to obtain professional level employment and by doing so, join the fast growing ranks of the educated middle class in Cambodia.
Your generous contributions make all of this possible and we are deeply grateful to you for your support.
