Thank you, Northlight School for you contribution! – by Sophon

On 27 and 28 of November 2009, a group of 25 students and teachers from Northlight School, Singapore volunteered at Riverkids in Cambodia.

We brought them to the communities we serve so that they could understand the difficult circumstances faced by the kids and their families. Then, we explained to them how our education programmes are helping them.

The volunteers’ mission is to give the children an enjoyable childhood. The kids had been divided into 3 groups. The first group did paper puppets, the second group drew pictures and the third group did arts and crafts.











The children were so happy and excited during the activities. They all ran around laughing happily with their friends!











The volunteers also brought 35 of our Get Ready Girls to the zoo which is around 40km away from Phnom Penh. The girls really enjoyed learning about wildlife and they absolutely loved the animals!

The students and teachers of Northlight School donated lots of school supplies such as school bags, colour pencils, water colour sets and story books. They also donated 150kgs of rice, sugar, oil and noodle for Riverkids to prepare food for our weekly boarders and kids who get lunch at Riverkids.

We would like to say, “Thank you very much, Northlight School. Because of your support, vulnerable kids will have a chance to go to school, enjoy their childhood and build up their self-esteem!”
