You can read about a recent visit to CEDF – Op Cam here where we have a more complete description of their programs and current needs. Thanks to our generous donors, the SE Asia Foundation was able to provide $2,000 to expand their pig raising program, and another $3,000 to equip their new pre-school and provide the teacher for the first year. They still need quite a bit of help. $1,000 will keep a girl in school for an entire year. And $1,500 would provide another year of salary for their new pre-school teacher.
Should you wish to help them with some extra support you can do so by clicking here.
Just note Cambodian Education and Development on your tax-deductible donation and we’ll see to it that it gets to the right place.
