In the new academic year (2009-2010), Riverkids will sponsor over 350 kids attending State school. This is a substantial increase in students from last year, due to over 50 new kids enrolled at the beginning of New Academic Year.
As a result, we at Riverkids are quite busy: we need to organize over 350 individual packages of school supplies and uniforms for the kids. There are always limited resources but each group of kids receives some supplies, with the numbers of books, pens and other supplies they get from Riverkids depending on their school grade - for example, if they attend higher Grade classes, they will receive more supplie

s. Our educational staff and social workers also monitor the new starters for a few weeks to ensure the kids are attending their classes.
The first time at State School
We are pleased to announce that we have enrolled 35 students from the Riverkids Kindergarten class into their first classes at State school. Disappointingly, although we had a meeting to encourage parents to become more proactive with their children’s education, only few parents enrolled their children. Therefore, the first day at the state school, most of the kids will be sponsored and assisted by Riverkids staff, who will gather the young students and walk with them to their new school.
The kids at RailWay-II
Sister Dale Edmonds and an Advocacy group visited the home of sex workers recently. They were touched by the stories and everyday lives of the sex worker’s children: they don’t have an opportunity to go to school because, as well as financial difficulties, the school is quite far from home.
Sister Dale Edmonds decided to support 25 kids from the RailWay area to enroll at the State school as their first steps towards receiving an education. Each child received a package of school supplies, a school bag, and a school uniform. They are also given around 0.25 USD to buy snacks when they go school every day. A prearranged tuk tuk comes to pick them up, take them to school and return them home.
All the Riverkids staff, the kids and their parents would like to say thank you to Sister Dale Edmonds and all our generous donors who always support vulnerable kids in Cambodian. With assistance like this, we can assist more children to gain an education and give them the chance to improve their own future.
