‘Saing Sy’ Inauguration Ceremony



On Sunday 9th of May, we had the Saing Sy School inauguration party in Kompong Thom Province. It was awesome! There were more than eight hundreds participants including students & parents participated in our drama, traditional and hip hop dancing, games and meals from 3- 8pm.


A New Life of an orphan boy

On the inauguration Ceremony day, we found Veth, a 12 years old boy who had been living with a foster family next to the Saing Sy School after his mum was murdered by his step father 6 years ago. Unfortunately Veth had been treated like a slave in his foster family. He was extremely over-worked. He had to get up 5am every morning to do all housework including: fetching water from the well to home, washing, cooking and all other jobs. He has been suffering from malnutrition due to the insufficient of foods intake. Hence his body is covered with skin and bone and his left hand was seriously infected and full of pus. He was almost lost his hand. Fortunately he was taken by CKF staffs to the city to have his hand operated. The operation cost us approximately $US100, excluding foods, transportation and accommodation.

Veth is currently staying in ACE since he was discharged from the hospital. He refuses to go back to his foster family. We are considering of having him registered to one of the private schools in Phnom Penh.

This boy is now safe and has fully recovered. With the support of CKF, he is going to become ONE of the successful leaders in Cambodia.



Zoo Visiting

On Friday 14th, a trip of 13 ACE students and staffs to Tomao Mountain Zoo was organised as it was King’s Birthday. Everyone had so much fun by having a picnic, singing ACE and CKF songs, and enjoyed seeing wild animals.



ACE purchased the Cambodia Daily Newspaper
From now on everyone at ACE is going to have an opportunity to improve their English reading and vocabulary with the Cambodia Daily Newspaper. The newspaper is also helping them to update to the current news in the society.



ACE Study Club
A group of study has been established by ACE Team Leaders to improve their English and sharing other knowledge and experience they have learned from their university.




Selecting the ‘Nursing Scholarship’ students



On 22-23rd May, the Attitude Forum was conducted by Mr. Sokchea SAING to 20 participants who were from DDD, Saing Sy Centre and the scholarship student candidates. The main focus of this training was to select 2 nursing scholarship students for our projects. Unfortunately we haven’t found one. The re selecting process will be taken place at Saing Sy Centre in the third or fourth week of June.

ACE Staffs Evaluation
On the 30th, we have had the ACE staffs’ evaluation. The reason of this evaluation was to find out how to make ACE better and especially to improve staffs responsibility.
