The absents:In the beginning of October, there was a frenetic activity among the volunteers in Cambodia. We had to prepare the launch of AVEC action in two news schools, located in the Homale municipality; the Sala Balat school and the Sala Damnak Loug school - and of course we continue to support the Daksosos school. Those two new schools will allow us to extend our schooling activities, and to develop the area that we already cover. In addition to these new responsibilities, we follow the Dâksoso children with great care as they start the new school year, and check up on those who haven’t return to school for the new semester. Sadly, no less than fifteen pupils were missing at the beginning of the new school year. Our team therefore intervened directly on family level to speak to the parents or guardians of each of these children. It was a long and difficult dialogue but it paid off; all fifteen children are now back on their school benches. Nothing is ever completely achieved in this type of work, especially after a long period of holidays.

Preparing the three schooling days:
Before a schooling day, we have to buy school material for the school as well as for the pupils, but also get buy some small food supplies for the fifty poorest families in the Dâksoso area.

 

 

 

 

List of materials:
We purchased, then, no less than 4095 note books, 3336 pens, 3468 pencils, 1518 rubbers, 759 pencils sharpeners, 759 rulers, 759 slates, 300 boxes of chalk for blackboards, 9 new whiteboards for the classrooms, 72 whiteboard pens, 16 refill bottles for whiteboard pens, 105 school uniforms for the poorest of the kids and 105 pairs of flip flop shoes. In addition, we bought 500 kg of rice, 150 kg of salt, 300 bottles of Soya sauce and 300 bottles of fish sauce.
