Being a Kid Is Their Job

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generosity in helping us educate and nourish the 230 students at ABCS and RICE, as well as support their families.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a caring community behind us. Recently, volunteers Ina and Burak organized a raffle in support of our school. Their first event raised $590 USD—enough to provide 19 weeks of healthy snacks for our students!

Our children have also benefited from the kindness of local senior women who volunteer their time, offering both nurturing care and educational support.

We are especially grateful to Huma'COB, a French humanitarian organization, for their generous donations and for sending volunteers who introduced the children to massage therapy. In addition, other volunteers generously gave their time to paint our playground equipment and classrooms, creating a brighter and more welcoming environment for our students.

In January, we were able to deliver essential supplies to families displaced by the conflict along the Cambodia–Thailand border. This effort included over 8,000 kg of rice, 8,000 eggs, dried fish, 200 kg of dragon fruit, 800 mosquito nets, 800 blankets, 800 packs of laundry soap, and 4,800 small bottles of shampoo and more. All of our teachers played a vital role in making this distribution possible.

We are deeply grateful for our dedicated volunteers and generous donors like you, who are helping our children grow, thrive, and pursue their education with hope.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hello from Cambodia!

We hope you are doing well, our generous donor! Your ongoing support for ABCS and Rice allows us to continue feeding and educating our precious students.

In case you haven’t heard, our students were thrilled to receive backpacks filled with school supplies, thanks to our American friends at CEF as well as our Australian partners.

Because of the generosity of donors like you, our students recently enjoyed a field trip to a botanical garden, where they were also treated to refreshments. A special thank-you goes to the Cambodia Rice Run for sponsoring this memorable day.

We are also excited to share that Patti’s, our daycare for single parents, opened a few weeks ago. Through this program, we will offer workshops on job seeking and parenting.

Additionally, we would like to thank Bella’s Pizzeria and Western Eatery, a local restaurant, for hosting fundraising bingo events for our school.

We are deeply grateful for you and all the generous sponsors who support this important school. Have a wonderful day and Happy Holidays!
