Phansy School
All school is a growing, living organisation - and Phansy's School is no exception. Needs arise and opportunities are recognised, so we have an evolving list of new projects. These focus on the development of the students and teachers, the encouragement of quality involvement by volunteers, and the building of bridges - to assist graduate students to gain further education or to gain employment. This is the main point of the school.
Meanwhile we have learned that the school has evolved as something of a social agency for young people. For example recently a student came to the Director, Phansy, and shared his story which is not untypical in Cambodia. The boy is poor and his grandmother cannot afford the cost of food and clothing, or to spare him to education. (For many families, children need to help on a farm to help meet the family living costs.)
Through his work, phansy has found many students and young people in a similar situation, so aside from the school he has built a small home for Children - a place where this boy wishes to stay.
a school is a school. But here it is a social agency with a wider role. So new projects here - some of them simply awaiting a cash injection - are ultimately designed to help the families of the students. To have a son or daughter learn language skills and gain a job in Siem Reap is to have a breakthrough for the whole family. Otherwise the door to opportunity remains closed tight.
