FINAL REPORT - 2021
By Chhaiya Im - Project Leader
Dear Supporters, Teachers, Students, Parents and Community Members,
ODC started from very humble beginnings in 2015 and today, it continues to grow from strength to strength, successfully accomplishing our mission of providing quality English education to under privileged children in Cambodia. This journey is only possible with the support of everyone involved and it is with utmost gratitude and humility that we thank you most wholeheartedly.
Throughout the pandemic, ODC has been able to continue with online teaching and learning and also delivery of learning packages. At the start of November, with great excitement and anticipation, teachers and students returned to the classrooms! ODC is fully compliant with government regulations such as mask wearing and social distancing in the classrooms. This has meant reducing the number of people in each classroom with students coming in on alternate days. Our teachers are now working 6 days a week, giving our students face-to-face teaching three times a week while online learning continues.
Due to the generosity of our international and local supporters, ODC has been able to build two new classrooms and update two older ones, giving us a total of five classrooms, which are fully furnished with tables, chairs, white boards and projectors. 168 students are currently attending ODC but with the forthcoming enrolments for 2022, we expect many more children to register. With the new classrooms, ODC will be able to accommodate up to 200 students.
Our development plan for 2022 is to expand our toilet facilities for the ever growing school community and help students understand how to keep good hygiene and the importance of sanitation. We would also like to build a library and reception area for our staff to meet our parents and community members. The library will help encourage and motivate students to love reading and broaden their knowledge base. Our plan is also to better use our classrooms by running more classes for primary school children in the mornings and afternoons. This will give more opportunities for secondary school children to attend late afternoon and evening classes. We anticipate hiring more local teachers.
ODC will deactivate this present project and start a new project entitled, “Empower Cambodian children with quality education”. We sincerely hope that you will continue to support us in achieving our 2022 plan as outlined above. You can stay connected with us via https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/transforming-cambodia-through-quality-education/
It is with a grateful and joyful heart that we thank you for your continued support and commitment in helping us help the under privileged children in Cambodia achieve a better future.
Sincerely,
Chhaiya Im and ODC Board
