Mission Statement

To provide education and training that equip students with real-world skills to advance themselves and to make a significant and useful contribution to their communities.

Description

In 2005, Chumkriel Language School (CLS) started in a small classroom, teaching English to 100 children. Today it has a dedicated school building, agricultural garden and sports field, and is teaching a comprehensive curriculum to the children of the local community.

Guided by a philosophy of a hand-up rather than a hand-out, CLS offers:

  • Daily classes in Khmer subjects, health & hygiene, and basic English for over 100 primary-age children.
  • A library where reading skills are fostered.
  • Computer classes for secondary students.
  • A sports field for informal recreation and organized sports
  • A garden to teach children how to grow their own vegetables.
  • A Soup Kitchen providing daily lunch for over 30 children.
  • Cooperation with an adjoining government school, sharing facilities and resources to improve opportunities for its students.
  • Free transport from the salt fields to the government school for up to 30 local children.
  • Scholarships for children to attend high school or university.
