Things are moving fast now with another school being added to those already being supported by Rice4Life.<\/p>\n
During\u00a0Martin and Margaret’s\u00a0April visit, plans were made to extend the R4L model to two more very poor village schools in Siem Reap Province.<\/p>\n
Agreements have now been signed so that the village school of Kok Beng is now to receive similar support to Khvien school and the recently added school at Kok Tachan.<\/p>\n
The village of Kok Beng has a population of 1,214 in 264 families. the village is near the Bayon Temple and is 17 km from Siem Reap city.<\/p>\n
The village relies on local agriculture following methods little changed since anciient times.<\/p>\n
After the ‘troubles’ in Cambodia, a school was established in a timber building in 1982 and in 2002 a Swiss benefactor built them a brick building for the school, similar to the one at Khvien.<\/p>\n
The school has three classrooms from Grade 1\u00a0to Grade 6. There are 236 students with 6 teachers. We are looking forward to building a cooperative and collaborative relationship with school director, Mr Chhoen Chhon.<\/p>\n
