Hot lunches for 500 Cambodian children and youth

Hello from Cambodia!

2018 is quickly coming to an end and we wanted to thank you again for your generosity in the last year in making donations to “Hot lunches for 500 Cambodian children and youth”.

 In 2018, more than 400 children attended classes at our main Education Center, another 200 at our Community Education Center, and more than 120 youth participated in vocational training programs.

With your help we continue to make sure these students are not just getting the skills and education they need to build a better life, all of the have also been receiving hot, healthy meals on the days they study. As I have said before the meals are not fancy or gourmet, but they are nutritious and filling, and for many it is the most substantial meal they will have all day.

We made a short video recently that I thought you might like to see if you haven’t already. It’s of M’Lop Tapang’s main Education Center and includes many of the faces of children that you have been helping to provide hot lunches for.  (The link to the video is at the bottom of the page)

Again, thank you for your support and we wish you and your family all the best in the upcoming holiday season.

Hello from Cambodia!

We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for your generosity in supporting the work we do here at M’Lop Tapang.   Your donations have helped us to continue to be able to provide much needed services to disadvantaged Cambodia children and youth in the local area.

With your help, children like 15 year old Makara* who had to drop out of school in Grade 3 because of a family environment of poverty, alcoholism, and violence, are getting the chance to be back in the classroom and catch up with their studies. For the last two years Makara has been attending remedial classes at M’Lop Tapang’s Education Center and has done well enough that soon she will be re-entering the public school system.  Your donations have helped to make sure that Makara and hundreds of other children like her have a hot healthy lunch every school day. For many of the children and youth, these meals are the most nutritious they will have each day.

Thank you again for your support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best,

Roth Chanphalkun (Kun)

Co-Director, M'Lop Tapang
