Dear Friends,
We hope all is well with you and yours. As you know, helping to improve the education of young people here in Cambodia is one of our main goals. Each year thanks to the kindness of K.I.D.S donors we visit high schools that are in need of computers, both in the city and in the rural areas. In this day and age learning computers is essential to be able to find work. Most high schools in rural areas cannot afford computers even though they do have teachers who can teach computer skills. Some of the school administration and staff often do not have computers either.
Thanks to our donors we are able to change this situation by providing computers for high school and university students and administration staff.
When we go to visit the schools the kids are very excited and so are the staff to be able to have computer classes as well as computers to help the teachers and admin staff with their work. Recently we travelled to a rural village where the high school had 700 students. We brought computers and set up a classroom for computer studies, the students were very excited and so were the teachers.
Over the years we have collectively been able to give thousands of young people the opportunity to learn computer skills. Many of them have gone on to university and post-secondary training. The graduates have found decent jobs in hotels, offices and companies. Instead of slaving in brick factories and other labour intensive jobs for poor wages; they are not only changing their futures, they are also helping their families to live better lives.
Until next time,
Adrianne and Rick
