Education and school facilities
Education
ChuayDek undertakes to bring more access to education for children in need and their community at-large and to improve school facilities where needed. Some of our achievements are reported in the paragraphs below.
As part of its support to the Buddha Kasettra School, ChuayDek also helps the teachers drafting project proposals to various supporters and donors (NGO, private sector, groups, etc). See the list approved projects for the "Education and school facilities" work area.

Scholarships and prizes
We hand-over small prizes to well-deserving kids to encourage them to study harder during the year. Scholarships and education funds help young boys and girls to access high-school and secondary education. We also fund study tours and visits outside the school, for the kids to learn through first hand experiences.
Since 2010 we handed over prices and incentives for 20 deserving kids. In 2012 five girls and boys received scholarships to attend high-school for one year (2012-2013).

Sharing of knowledge: traditional curriculum, environment and more
ChuayDek is also promoting knowledge both to children and teachers of the school on environmental education, organic farming, micro-business and photography mainly thanks to our volunteers.
Read more on the ongoing project "Food and knowledge, today and for the future". This project aims to teach children and teachers how to use the organic rice and vegetables which they farm not only as food but also as a source of income.

School facilities improvements
It is common knowledge that children study with more enthusiasm when they have access to nice and comfortable infrastructures. In collaboration with donors, who have experience in this sector, we are supporting the Buddha Kasettra School in improving their buildings, their class-rooms, dormitories and bathrooms.
Classrooms for Music and Art & repairing the rice storage room
|
In 2010 and 2011 ChuayDek helped the school finalize the construction of classrooms designed to be used mainly for music and art crafts. One of the children thanked us saying that without our help he did not know if those classrooms would have ever been finalized. Also the completion of the building was possible thanks to voluntary donations.
The roof of the rice storage room was replaced to avoid water entering in the room and ruining the stock of rice that is used to feed the kids. Sponsored by 1% for development fund . Read more |
