Cambodia Project: 85% complete

We are so thrilled to announce that our project with Catholic Relief Services in Cambodia is almost complete!  This has been our largest project to date and so far the response has been phenomenal!  In addition to providing uniforms to 3,387 students, we are also providing uniforms to the 69 teachers.   Here are a few thoughts from the CRS staff in Cambodia:

Since the days children and teachers received their Uniforms and Shoes, our staff heard a lot of positive feedback from them. Children smile with the happiness and enjoyment of wearing the new uniforms to their friends and teachers at school. This present also encourage them to show up in class earlier and less absent. They also expressed their fresh mind of being ready for the lessons. Their parents also expressed their happiness and thanks to the School Director, teachers and CRS for supporting their children. Whenever they see the staff, they put their hands together (Sampeah) to expressed their thanks for this great gift. This expression showed their commitment in sending their children to school and support their education. All the teachers and Working Group members of the Project wore their new clothes when they attended the Project Evaluation Workshop with CRS late last month with their happiness and well engagement in the Project work.

We are loving the below pictures from the uniform distributions and can't wait to share more updates from this project!
