| The goal of the fund is to support the children and their future through education. The fund has sponsored three projects so far, all for the village of Kuan Khlong, near Battambang, Cambodia. Our current project is to help with the construction of a new classroom building for the primary school. All projects benefit from a strong Cambodian connection and direct input from the village. Not only do our advisors tell us what the village needs, but they also follow through on the purchases, carefully shopping to find the best prices. Following is a summary of our projects to date. |

Current Project--Construction of a Classroom Building
The highest priority for the people in the Village of Kaun Khlong is a classroom building for the primary school. The primary school currently has 16 small classrooms for the 700 school children. With an average class size of 45, the existing classrooms are stretched to capacity. The existing buildings need extensive repairs. One of the buildings is in danger of being condemned and taken out of service. The new building will have 9 classrooms, a library and a bathroom, and give the children a safer environment and more room to learn. We plan to begin with a 5-classroom module and build the other 5 rooms when we have sufficient funding. Click here for more information. |

School Uniforms
In January 2008 we distributed packages to each of the 700 school children in the Kuan Khlong primary school. Each child received a school shirt, flip flops, a notebook and a pen. Click here to learn more. |
