These will be posted out of order, but here’s the very latest! The Cambodia team has been working on making these reports more detailed and structured.

July 2009 was a busy regular month - lots of volunteers, and programs in full-swing. Most programs are going really well, but we’re over stretched in two key areas: after-school tuition, and our social workers’ home visits. We’ve prioritised visiting struggling families, but our aim is to visit all of them. We also don’t have the capacity to offer after-school tuition to all our students, or in some cases, the social workers haven’t been able to get them to attend.

We are able to expand our school program, but we’re going to have to think hard about different ways to reach out to families and kids, while we try to recruit more social workers.

But the best statistic for the month? No child trafficking incidents.
