 A big workload lies ahead for our Khmer volunteers handling the two new schools with which we work. The volunteers will start with setting up a list of the poorest families in the neighbourhood, families of which the children tend not to attend school. They will also search out orphans and those children who come to school dressed in rags. This means visiting at least around 70 families in very rural areas, and analysing the life conditions of each family. During these visits, they will also locate the children who do not go to school at all, and create a file for each family.
 The families live within 5 km from the school, and the most difficult part is to find the poorest families living isolated just beside the rice fields. It is a detective’s work, and as a last resort, we will even ask the children to accompany our volunteers to their guardians.
 We count on being done with this work on Mars, 15, at the very latest. Because from Mars, 20, and on, we will be busy distributing rice in the three schools with which we work. This means to about 100 families. We will double the number of families we work with. It will be a huge task, but we are very happy for it nevertheless; things do go in the right direction! It is all made possible thanks to the people who help us, as we couldn’t do very much on our own. We continue to look for volunteers in France, Germany and Switzerland, hoping to find more people who would give us a few hours a month of their time. If you are able to make this effort for us, there is a magic button to click at the top of the site. Clicking it will help you help us, and it carries the very simple name “contact us”. |
