We’re trying a new program of gifting each student 7 notebooks, pens and other school supplies three times per year, to help families afford school for their children. These items are not provided by the Ministry of Education and often prevent children from attending school or staying in school.

These donations were made possible by successful grant applications made by Boston-area students. Kudos to our teens providing school supplies for Cambodian students.
