Food and Education for Cambodian Orphans

Update from the Cambodia Children’s House of Peace

Greetings from the Cambodia Children’s House of Peace!

The start of 2013 has been a happy one for the children at CCHP. We are pleased to report to you on a number of successes that your kind donations have contributed to. 

Exams

February was a busy month for our children, as they studied hard for their exams. We are pleased to tell you that all our children all passed their exams, with one of them scoring 100% in one English exam.  We are pleased that the hard work of our children, teachers and volunteers is being effective.

Cinema Outing

After the success in their exams, we decided to treat the children to an outing to the cinema. We watched a Cambodian production called “Have you ever loved me?”, featuring a local pop star. For all of them it was their first experience at a cinema and they were very excited and happy.

Improvements to our home

Our classroom was outdoors and we worried about our books with rainy season coming soon. With your kind contributions through GlobalGiving we have been able to build a new indoor classroom.

Our kitchen was old and traditional so our children were required to wash dishes on the floor and our shelving was in urgent need of repair. In February we received funds from one of our volunteers to build a new kitchen. This has made an amazing difference:

• Update from Cambodian Children's House of Peace (DOCX)

The Cambodian Children's House of Peace (CCHP) is a locally run Cambodian NGO.  CCHP provides food, shelter, education and health care to poor, vulnerable and/or orphaned children. CCHP serves children, primarily from Siem Reap Province, the largest and poorest of the country location of the World Heritage Site, Angkor Wat.

Our children all come from very poor backgrounds and were in vulnerable situations before coming to the Cambodian Children’s House of Peace. Here, because our organization is small, they are receiving a lot of personal attention, with still enough space for them to grow as individuals. Some of our children are orphans or abandoned, many have a single mother, and some with both parents, but who have many other children, face food shortage and lack of schooling.

Our vision is to provide growth in body, mind and spirit for vulnerable children in a community of peace.

Our children attend public school for half the day as is required in Cambodia, and receive extra tutoring in English, math, physics, chemistry and Khmer literature at the children’s home every day, according to their level. When they are not studying, you will find our children playing volleyball, swinging and chatting in the hammocks, or helping out the cooks prepare the meals! The Cambodian Children’s House of Peace is like a big family!
