After 6 months of schools being closed due to Covid 19, the government has now allowed schools to resume with the emphasis on the Khmer subjects and not English.
During the lockdown, the high school students have been helping coach the younger students during the Covid Campaign. They set up special community lerning centers and wore masks and socially distanced.
However, the older students have missed out on heir regular classes.Trying to catch up on school subjects in order to write exams in 6 weeks time has been stressful for all students. The new school year will start in January 2021. CCDO will then be able to resume the Puberty Program which gives knowledge to the students and enables to girls to be more confident.
Thanks to the donor who have continued to support this important initiative.

Mask Distribution
Since the global pandemic of Covid 19 escalated, Cambodian Govt closed the schools on the 13 March. For the first 6 weeks, there was no school. Then local teachers decided to take the school session into the community and they set up lessons at the local community centers. They carefully social distanced the students and CCDO provided masks. We also provided soap to wash hands. The breakfast committee decided that they would take the prepared food from our canteens, so they could continue to serve breakfast and food for those in need.
The CCDO team has been going around to 94 villages and they have seen over 200,000 people to help spread the Covid 19 awareness message. "Wear Masks, Wash Hands and Social Distance." They distributed over 40,000 masks and 40,000 bars of soap. They have managed to keep the dreaded virus out of the rural communities.
The regular school will be starting on 1 November and the Empowerment of the Girl Campaign will restart then.
Much gratitude to donors and staff in this dark time.

Honoring Women

The 8th March is International Women's Day and it is taken very seriously in Cambodia.
The youth today, realize that there is gender equality in Cambodia. At CCDO, we never miss a chance to promote women and their unique culture. We hold discussions in each of the secondary school classrooms. We have also had parades through the villages. We remind the children that it is the role of the women that gives strength to society.
The slogan "You are more than Women" was voted on by the 8th & 9th grade classes. It is the women that is the glue for the Khmer Society and they are very proud of their strength. It is the grannies that take care of the little ones while the mothers work in the fields. It is encouraging to note that most of our scholarship students are girls who are blossoming into young ladies and are ready to take on many challenges.
A special thanks to our donors for their continued support.
