We now hold regular English lessons and computer studies Monday to Friday between 1.30pm and 4.30 pm. We also offer “Homework Support” to our students if they should need it. Each child gets a class grading every month from Beltei School and we award a certificate to the child with the most improved grading and those that come first in their class grading. We have now employed an English teacher, Chhan Panha, who works for us. He is well qualified with a Masters degree in English (TESOL). He works from Monday to Friday 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Having him work for us is a great benefit as the children are so keen to learn English, knowing that it will be so necessary when they find employment in the future. **Into a better, safer future www.helpinghand.support** **registered charity number: 1171400** ## **HELPING HAND – Cambodia** We now run a Sunday School on a Sunday afternoon from 2.00pm to 3.30pm and have two teachers who run the classes teaching up to 15 of our children. Occasionally they will arrange trips for them to a play park in Phnom Penh and take them for meal afterwards. The lessons are well structured and enable the children to explore Christianity. Early in the year Chanthy, our Cambodian Coordinator, had a Zoom meeting with The Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpa with a view of them supporting our work. Unfortunately, because the Covid situation in Cambodia got worse this never materialised. A donation of $1,000 was given to us by a group of supporters. This money was used to buy food, rice and water for families living in the poor community where we work. Covid was at it’s worst and people and families were desperate for supplies. Donations of $500 and $1,500 were also given to us which meant that our appeal to help the local community reached over $3,000 during the time of Covid restrictions. We now have 39 children sponsored, who all go to Beltei International School and were enrolled in September. With the lifting of Covid restrictions we were able to open and use our building again and resume our lessons. There was a visit to our building by a friend of ours, Bet Vicheka, who came to encourage and talk to our children. She herself comes from a poor background and now works for a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Phnom Penh. She also donated T-shirts and pens and crayons. Our landlord had the roof space on our building cleared of all rubbish that was up there and then had it tiled. This means that we can get it fenced in, to make it safe, and then be able to use it for various activities such as lessons, Sunday School and exercise. We were able to raise funds to get the roof space enclosed and therefore safe to use. We were donated 17 laptops by another NGO. These are a real blessing as we need to encourage our children with their computer studies. A Gaelic football Club donated many clothes for us to distribute to the local poor community. A supporter of our charity donated $800 to be spent on buying rice for the local poor community. This provided 25Kg of rice for 16 families. We had a sink installed outside our building as it became necessary to have one closer to our classrooms because of the Covid situation at the time. A friend of ours now has his own Real Estate Business; he invited our older students to visit and offered them opportunities to work for him if they wanted to pursue a career in Real Estate. ## **HELPING HAND – Cambodia** ## **Into a better, safer future www.helpinghand.support** ## **registered charity number: 1171400** We were now able to distribute 5,000 items of sports clothing donated by Decathlon sports company who have a factory in Phnom Penh to those living in the poor village where we work. Two more donations for rice were received by us, one of $400 and the other of $500, which we used to distribute to the local poor community. We were able to hold a party for our children to celebrate the opening of our newly refurbished roof space. Villagers including our children’s families continue to use the Water Filtration System that we had installed the previous year. ## Duncan Bell ## **Signature and Declaration** Declaration: I declare, in my capacity of chairman of trustee, that: - The trustees have approved the report above; and - • Have authorised me to sign it on their behalf Signed: Full name: Position: Date: **Into a better, safer future www.helpinghand.support** ## **HELPING HAND – Cambodia** ## **registered charity number: 1171400** **----- Start of picture text -----**
