Every month, the best five students in Grade School and the Get Ready program get small prizes to encourage them.
Happy Football is a small enthusiastic group organising football training and matches for kids from shelters, orphanages and other non-profit groups. We took part in a small tournament last year when the RJC kids were in Cambodia, so we had a team of sorts ready.
Pheakdey: "I took them to play on sunday last weekend. One of the NGO that helps our children to learn and play football.... supported water, T-shirts, shorts and shoes . We have some shoes that remind from RJC. This week is the first week and we have 26 students - 12 boys, 14 girls. This week I will work with the social worker to find out more kids living in the community who are not yet our students but they have the chance to enjoy with the other students too. We want to all of them out of the drugs and glue sniffing."
The football opportunity is great because it gets the kids meeting other children and a chance at friendly competition. We need to pay for overtime (staff on Sunday) and for the transport, but so far we're managing.
Just before Khmer New Year, we gave the kids sets of clothes and had a little party with dancing and snacks for the kids and parents in the afternoon.
Most of the Alexandra kids crowded in for a group photograph!
