Dear Friends,
We want to wish you all a Very Happy and Healthy New Year. As the new year begins we want to thank everyone for your continued support, kindness, and generosity and for improving the lives of children and families in Cambodia.
Many children in Cambodia go to school hungry or do not go to school at all because they lack the energy on an empty stomach. Thanks to some International NGOs and the government some schools receive funds for food. Each day students receive a meal at school consisting of rice, fish, and vegetables. In a country like Cambodia where almost one third of children under 5 are stunted as a result of malnutrition, school meals make a huge difference in their health and learning process.
Often the cooking facilities are very basic, and the schools cannot afford to make them better. Most of the cooking is done over wood fires. Thanks to our great team of builders, we were able to create two, safe clean cooking facilities. One is at a primary school for 650 children, where our Smart Kids rural education program is based.

The other is at K.I.D.S Farm School, where approximately 100 children and youth come after school to attend classes at different times to learn English. Sohing, the teacher and her family cook them a nutritious meal each day. Needless to say, the cooks and the children are very grateful to have this new facility.

Thank You for supporting these great kids to live healthier and happier lives by literally
Feeding Their Education
Wishing you and yours all the best.
Until Next Time,
Adrianne and Rick
