Progress Report on “Help Cambodia's Children Escape Poverty and Abuse”
the Cambodian Children’s House of Peace
December – February 2015
Education Changes Lives
We believe only education can change children’s lives and escape the poverty and passed down from generations. It is very important for making peace and a vital resource for sustainable development. The Cambodian Children’s House of Peace – CCHP provides food, a safe place and other things that the children need for their education with the purpose that they will grow up not only for the country of Cambodia, but also for the world. Sharing is a greatest way to build the relationship. We are just the same, the human beings on earth. Thank you so much to for your generous support that enables us to care for all the children on the campus.
Home Gardening Practices
In order to help promote the life skills education programs of the public schools here in Cambodia we paid a visit to an organic agricultural station in Siem Reap to learn the ways they plant non-chemical vegetables and to find out the seeds they use. After visiting the station, we went to one of the supermarkets to see different vegetables sold and to learn about prices as well. The children have applied the skills they have learned from a local agriculture promoter and put into practices. This is the first time of harvesting Green Oak, a kind of foreign salads. To appreciate what has been achieved, we had Khmer noodle with these salads as vegetables. They tasted nice and no chemical substances added. We will continue growing more.
Building Friends Nearby
We were so happy to see a group of Malaysian students led by David Si, our old friend who always makes a trip once a year to our organization. Our Asian neighbours such as friends from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore etc., usually paid us visits. They bought us cooking supplies, school materials and other things that our children need. It is such a great help for us. Also, they had dinner and enjoyed dancing together after seeing Khmer Traditional Dance. They always felt sad leaving. We wish them all the best.
