Scholarship Students Outfitted for the New School Year

Thanks to all our generous sponsors our 26 high school scholarship students are set for another year of study with new clothes, school supplies and extra tutoring funds. For some this will be their last year in high school before they join the 20 university students we are also supporting on their educational path.

We are excited and proud to share the news that our first ever university student Malis Oeurn graduated from University in Phnom Penh with a Chemistry Degree.

A BIG thank you to her sponsor Starr Moore from Atlanta, Georgia for her steadfast support. 

Malis will be teaching at a rural school as it is her dream to give back to her community.
