Director of schools, Mr Hon, has advised the numbers of children (students) now needing support.
This will launch our programs into two more schools in the Mok Neak school district of which Khvien is one of seven schools.

We estimate that to equip a student for this year will cost US$7.50 each, totalling approximately US$1,785. Each student will receive a tailor-made school uniform made of good, hard-wearing cloth, as well as exercise books, pens and pencils for the year. Our regular tailor will supervise this work and our regular stationery supplier will be providing the books, pens and pencils.
We would also like to provide 2 bookcases at Kok Beng and Kok Tachan schools, i.e. 4 bookcases, made to our own design and specifications. It’s our wish that all three schools should receive similar support and so the bookcases that will form school libraries should be uniform in appearance.
We’re hoping to arrange for this in the coming weeks. Now it’s time to ensure there are sufficient funds on hand to complete the task.
Estimated project cost is US$2300
At current exchange rates, this is about 2,600 Australian dollars
