Dear friends and supporters, Half of the year has already passed and schools have been closed for more than three months now. It is not easy to draw a holistic picture of the current learning situation because, as in many countries, there is no single picture. Universities and many of the expensive private schools have […]
If you are supporting one of our university students you might already know, that students who perform well in their main studies, have the opportunity to ask us for additional support. For example, to take part in language or IT classes. The additional money for this either comes from the sponsors themselves or out of […]
Kun Kanha is one of our current scholarship students. She is studying English at Norton University in Phnom Penh. In 2019, Kanha was kind enough to write a little essay on her life before university. Her story is exemplary for many of our fellows, as many of them face and overcome lots of struggles before […]

If you have been following us for the past few years, you would have already noticed our frequent joint initiatives with Deutsche Post DHL. This is owed to the fact that quite a few of our members are current or former employees of the company and that these people have shown extraordinary commitment when it […]
