School Construction

March 14, 2015 Olivia Blinn

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit some of our school construction sites. I always enjoy interacting with beneficiaries and hearing about how excited they are for the new schools. The average Cambodian student only attends school for six years. After that, they often begin working to help their family.  In the first village, the new school is the first concrete building that's been built. That fact alone brings excitement to both students and their parents. 

The visits aren't just all work, however. Our staff always take time to interact with the students — whether that's playing soccer or sitting around and asking them questions. They invested in the community and build genuine relationships with beneficiaries. Honestly, it's a beautiful things to witness.
