<\/p>\nIt\u2019s back to school time for Kuma. In January the school welcomed 121 students after a tough year dealing with local flooding and the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, all kids are masked up and all precautions are being taken regarding social distancing during the day and during meals.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s some great news: at the end of the last term, Kuma \u201cgraduated\u201d 26 fast-track students who are now enrolled as 3rd graders at local schools. (These kids are still getting a half-day of support from the Kuma Cambodia Education Center despite moving on.) These fast-track students come from the very toughest situations and the program gives them the accelerated support they need to get up to speed.<\/p>\n
There are now 108 students who pass through the KCEC, which is now offering eight classes of both computer skills and English language. An incredibly important, life-changing resource!<\/p>\n
The staff is now on the lookout to identify the next fast-track group. They will be secretly visiting villages to identify the most at-risk kids. Often this means families affected by alcohol, drugs, HIV, or other such circumstances. The aim is to add another 19 students in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
