Working with Children - from Pheakdey

We are getting ready for a small and delightful Christmas celebration just for the weekly boarders and their housemothers. We gathered the vulnerable children and took a photograph of it and we would like to thank our donors for their generous support. Without their contribution, the kids will not be able to have the opportunity to get enrolled in both the state school and Riverkids center. They may still remain as aid chai (rubbish) collectors and face an extremely dangerous and uncertain future. The kids would also like to say thanks to Riverkids President, Sister Dale too for supporting the Cambodian people especially the families in the Riverkids community.

Working with children is not an easy job. It requires all staff members at all levels to be patient and committed. We need to be able to manage and supervise them effectively and efficiently because the moods of these children fluctuate at times. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all Riverkids staff members. They have such a good heart, spirit, and love toward the vulnerable children because they help them to receive education. One good example is our big sister in weekly boarding. She and her team have been leading the children to play and learn. We are very encouraged to see her enthusiasm and we hope she will continue to inspire the children. The only thing we wish would stop - fighting amongst the children!
