Science comes alive with our New York volunteer, Kadijah Spence! Once again, she is engaging our older English students with the wonders of science by introducing concepts such as biomes of the Earth and literally putting our students on the map by teaching geography.

Sports & English go hand in hand with Amber! 

The Betty Appeal 

Will Wilkins and Kate Macdonell undertook a cycling trip from Bangkok to Luang Prabang in Laos, a ride of approximately 1400 miles in total.  

Will and Kate loved their time in Cambodia and were so touched by the friendliness of the people, especially taking into account Cambodia's horrendous recent past.

They decided to conduct a fundraiser to build a water well in rural Siem Reap after being inspired by the work CCDO had done in building wells in the area and how it improved the lives and health of families. CCDO UK set up a donation page on Virgin Money Giving and Will and Kate's friends raised an incredible £650 which far exceeded their expectations. That was enough to build two wells and two latrines.

They have decided to dedicate one of the Latrines to "Betty Swumcrack" in memory of their ever present traveling companion".

A big thanks to... 

Maxine Marron, our steadfast supporter, for an outstanding $10,000 donation.  

This ensures our high school scholarship program continuing into the new school year and that we can pay our teachers a living wage and even some small benefits like insurance and maternity leave. We will be selecting a new batch of top secondary school graduating scholars soon and sending out their names for sponsorships.

Maxine says, "We all have so much, much more than we need. We live rich lives by all standards. We should give generously to those less fortunate, who have so little. Education is a way out of poverty!"

We are also grateful to Leslie Johnson who has donated $2000 for 8 water wells to be built in the month of June. Leslie has chosen to honor friends and family as well as some of her dear pets who have departed this world. Please consider making a donation on behalf of a loved one.
