Dear friends,
To help poor and the under-privileged, we have taken a bold step to accept the request of the Don Bosco's nuns to send their teachers here for 6 months of education. We have put this project in belief of God's Providence
Praise the Lord, through His kind intervention, we have managed to secure a 6-month scholarship for the 2 teachers (age 22 yrs) to study at SSTC, airfare for their flight here and back and home-stay for one of the teachers.
The target is to upgrade their English language skills, office skills and immerse them in Singapore's English speaking environment.
When they return to Cambodia, they will be bonded to teach at the Don Bosco's school for 5 years. They will be teaching Don Bosco's two-year secretarial course students, aged 19-23.
The students taking this secretarial course are very poor and if they do not get a chance to study a skill, there is a high chance that they will be taken advantaged of and exploited by the world's oldest trade for women.
As at now, we are waiting for the student visas to be approved by the Singapore immigration. We are expecting them to arrive here in Oct/Nov 05, if all goes well.
The outstanding issues we have for this project are :
1) We need kind individuals to help with their food and transport allowance and pocket money for the duration of their stay.
2) We need to find someone who can provide home-stay for one of the two teachers.
3) A person who is able to provide Personality Development, Leadership Skills training, Powerpoint and Access.
4) Friends who can provide time and effort over weekends to take them for activities which would allow them to grow and benefit from their stay and interaction with us, in Singapore.
Point one, is of course a matter of great urgency. Those who feel called to help with any amount of sponsorship for their living allowances do get in touch with Lynette or myself.
