Dear Donor and Supporter,
In October 2020, with the help of a new sponsor, the South East Asia Foundation, we distributed food packages to students in the Prasat Bakong district for the first time. Food aid is not really part of our self-imposed mission, but where help is needed and funds are available, it is right that we contribute. We have also worked with monks from Wat Kesararm and Wat Domnak temples who have distributed food parcels to villagers around Tonle Sap Lake and to families in Kleang district, Kampong Thom province.
This November, we partnered with Rural School Support Organization (RSSO), which provides the most urgent food to those most in need. The RSSO is a non-governmental organization , established only in 2019, and seeks to maintain food supplies in the Covid-19 pandemic for families at massive risk of hunger with the help of primarily US donations. Now we have a commitment from the RSSO to support us with a grant that will fund three more months of food assistance. Together with the teachers, we select the neediest hundred students. Unfortunately, the need for food aid far exceeds our budget and we are doing our best to identify those most in need. In this quarter, We have already contribute to one primary school with 42learners.
We are still looking for more support to continuce this project. Sharing is caring.
