22.01.2022 Have been having chats with our AFC representative in Cambodia today. Things are very sad, massive outbreak of Covid. Phnom Penh has been closed and people have been sent back to their villages. This has caused large community outbreaks in most villiages especially close to our school. The school will remain closed till 2022 sadly. However the online teaching our wonderful team are providing will continue but for a smaller number of children. Thanks to everyone for their contributions to keep the teachers employed and children getting educated.

19.01.2022 Our Marjorie Project teachers met two weeks ago to discuss how they could continue to support the children’s learning through this difficult time in Cambodia. While number of COVID-19 cases have not been released in the third world country, we know they are very high, and people are staying in their homes to avoid contracting it. Our teachers have decided to visit the families who are well and showing no signs of illness to do some work with each child at home and set homew...ork activities according to their individual needs. Because our students come from poorer families they are not in a position to do any online schooling and our teachers felt it was important to provide them with this one-on-one learning experience to keep their minds active and offer a healthy distraction from COVID-19. They are truly an amazing faculty and we sincerely appreciate their dedication to the students. If you would like to donate to help us continue providing underprivileged children with FREE English education you can do so through the link. See more

18.01.2022 We love seeing how much the children’s conversational English has improved. And we love even more seeing how much they enjoy themselves as they learn.

17.01.2022 Thank you so much Bringing Back the Magic! Your donation will cover the costs of our Marjorie Project in Kampot for two months. We're very grateful for your generous donation and annual support.

17.01.2022 Sreyleak Maen is an 18 years old girl who lives in Kampot, Southern Cambodia. She lives with her family in a small house, self-built by her father inside Hun Sen Mouy Makara Primary School where he works as a school guard and gardener. Sreyleak has six siblings and is the youngest in her family. Growing up in a poor family, Sreyleak is disadvantaged when it comes to receiving the same education as other children her age. Having parents who work long days in very low paying jo...bs Sreyleak is faced with the problem of not being able to attend regular school due to lack of family budget and some health issues. When Sreyleak found out about the Marjorie Project’s FREE English Classes for underprivileged children she was eager and excited. She was accepted and welcomed into the program. Sreyleak has been learning conversational English which will provide her with skills to work in the ever-growing tourism industry. Employment in tourism is generally consistent, safe and fairly pays. There is also potential for career advancement, something she would only have dreamed of before. Since studying English at Marjorie Project Sreyleak now dreams to become an English teacher in the future. She is very dedicated to her classes and thoroughly enjoys learning, and we hope that one day she will accomplish her dreams. If you'd like to help you can make a secure donation via Paypal. We'd really appreciate your support. https://www.paypal.com/au/fundraiser/charity/3567937

11.01.2022 The figures are inthe recent Turner Golf Day on the Gold Coast raised an incredible $961 for our Marjorie Project in Kampot! That will provide English lessons to approximately 200 students for nearly three months! Learning English opens so many doors for these children who would otherwise be destined to live a life of poverty. These classes will help them secure a position in the booming tourism industry where they will be paid fairly and have job security. So we sincerel...y thank the players for participating and the Golf Day organisers and volunteers from the bottom of our hearts. Meadow Park Golf Club generously allowed us to play at their quality course. Chris and Tracey Turner organised yet another fabulous day out. And our Volunteers Yvette, Karen, Geoff, Jenny and Gary did a great job with the sausage sizzle, prizes and raffles.

10.01.2022 Special thanks to Elisabeth de Silva for beautiful bags she made for Nature Play Resources. This donation helps raise funds for Marjorie Project in Cambodia. Many thanks ELisabeth de Silva x

09.01.2022 Sreymey is a 4 year old girl living in Kampot, southern Cambodia. She is an only child and lives with her parents in a shanty close to the railway. Sreymey’s mother works as a dishhand at a noodle shop and her father travels far and wide taking work wherever he can to provide for his family. They are very poor and have no electricity or running water. Sreymey attends the local primary school where she receives a very basic education as her family cannot afford to send her to ...a school that teaches English. Her job prospects with this level of education would be very limited, low paying, possibly unsafe or worse. Many end up on the streets involved with crime rings and never even have the chance to live the life they deserve. When Sreymey’s parents found out about the Marjorie Project’s FREE English classes for underprivileged children they applied and she was accepted and welcomed into the program. Sreymey has been learning conversational English which will provide her with skills to work in the growing tourism industry. Employment in tourism is generally consistent, safe and pays fairly. There is also potential for career advancement, something she would only have dreamed of before. If you would like to help children just like Sreymey you can make a donation that will go directly towards raising them out of destitution and into a life of opportunity.

05.01.2022 As soon as the government deems it safe, the beautiful children at our Marjorie Project will be returning to the classroom. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started,... and schools closed, our dedicated teachers have been visiting children in their homes, or meeting individually at the school, to provide them with homework several times each week. This has allowed the children to keep up their studies and not fall behind which has been a tremendous effort from both teachers and students. Well done to all of you.

04.01.2022 It was all hands on deck when we re-roofed two classrooms at ABCs and Rice in Siem Reap. Thank goodness the children’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious because it was SO HOT working out in the sun all day. Great result though. Now the children will be protected from the heavy rains again for another two years until we go back to do it again. . . #charity #roofingprojectcambodia #charitycambodia #cambodiancharity #helpingchildren #theimportanceofeducation #empowermentthrougheducation #cambodia #siemreap #cambodianchildren #cambodianchildrenscharity #opportunities #helpinghand @ Siem Reap

03.01.2022 Some news from our friends in Cambodia things are tough.

03.01.2022 Love seeing the children share their dreams. Well done

03.01.2022 A big thanks to all the ladies who attended the basket weaving workshop at 424 Trees Studio. Also to Karen and Elizabeth their invaluable help. The funds raised will keep the school Majorie Project funded for 3 months.

03.01.2022 We couldn’t resist sharing this gorgeous photo of three of our students who were very interested in learning about Gary’s camera. Children all around the world love a good selfie! Each time we visit Cambodia our passion to continue this great work grows stronger. Watching the children learn and grow into their potential is such a humbling and rewarding experience. If you would like to contribute to their life-changing education we would sincerely appreciate your donation, big or small, it all goes towards these amazing children.

02.01.2022 The global COVID-19 pandemic has reached our Marjorie Project in Kampot Cambodia and the school has closed until this passes. With your help we hope to be able to continue to pay our teachers, even a portion of their wage, so they can buy basic essentials for their families to get through this. We would also like to supply some hygiene products for the children, teachers and the school to give it a thorough cleaning before it reopens. We know everyone is concerned about making ends meet for their own family during this health crisis, but even if you can spare $5 it really will help.

01.01.2022 To give friends of AFC some current info about the situation in Cambodia. Sending prays to our friends and family in Cambodia. Keep safe and well !
