We have some very exciting news to share with you. After several months of hard work, the construction of our new school is finally complete! We are well on our way to giving our students a great education and a wonderful place to learn and grow. We will celebrate this grand accomplishment with an opening party on July 18. At this party we plan to give approximately 130 disadvantaged families living near the school 10kgs of rice, fish sauce, and soy sauce, as a welcoming gesture.
Thank you to our volunteers and everyone who helped make the construction of our new school possible! We are thrilled that it is built and we are working diligently to furnish it. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to provide SCAO children with the resources they need to succeed. If you would like to help us in the furnishing process, please read the list of items below. We also need help getting food for the opening party and we’ve listed the items below as well. The quantity we hope to receive is listed next to each item. Any help is much appreciated and we thank you in advance for your generosity!
