Led by specialist leadership teacher Mr. Sokchea SAING, the leadership in action course offered to teenage students of the Rudi Boa center aims to teach essential life skills and importantly get young people to thinks about their goals in life and steps they need to take <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlArOWhEsMdUdgKbySoPC66OWdsdLRl5XQ1NUPsgBH_r7XF8Vpepyt4-7gi5N-eAdqAKV3Qu-DnJFN_ufIUTuVa-jnhLXqQN5deGH78SeyF_lEgvLZUjb4NodIb1s3VreWv-NlKYCmd-n/s1600-h/DSC01049.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249059084224337282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlArOWhEsMdUdgKbySoPC66OWdsdLRl5XQ1NUPsgBH_r7XF8Vpepyt4-7gi5N-eAdqAKV3Qu-DnJFN_ufIUTuVa-jnhLXqQN5deGH78SeyF_lEgvLZUjb4NodIb1s3VreWv-NlKYCmd-n/s320/DSC01049.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a>to achieve these goals.<br />
“ This class is very good for me and the country. I can participate in society. In the future, I think I will be a good leader of a company or my family, but I have never thought that before this class,” said Meng Ratana, 17, a leadership student at the Rudi Boa Center.<br />
<br />
This course has had a phenomenal impact on the youth of Village 4. Mr. Sok Chea discusses the changes he has observed in one of his students:<br />
“ One of my students told me that his parents were not concerned about his studies and sometimes he felt hopeless by himself. When the class breaks, he always brought his story to discuss with me, and promised that he would try to study until he got the number one student in the class. Sometimes he studied without anytime to eat food. He was a quiet person an was shy in the class. Now he is a sociable person and is confidents to make presentations in front of the white board, not like before. He told me that now he knows how to manage the goals of his life and to face his problem.”<br />
<br />
In 2007, 57 students graduated from the first and second levels of the leadership course provided and Rudi Boa Center. Some of these graduates are actively giving back to their community as volunteers at the Rudi Boa center. These courses will be offered for new students in 2008, while the leadership Group of 2007 will be able to continue to develop their leadership skills with a more advanced course taught by Mr. Sok Chea.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Leadership<br /><br />I wrote about one of our teachers Sokchea SAING on a previous blog, and how we are so lucky to have him and what a great teacher he is. He was born to teach, and it is no surprise that by employing someone who found his calling in life things would work out well.<br />Early in the year he approached me and said he wanted to teach a Leadership class. I questioned him about whether he was really qualified, and could he really come up with 25 hours of material. I said I would think about it and asked him to help me do some research to see what already exists. A few days later he said he was ready to teach it and all he needed was my approval. He said I didn’t need to pay him, he would be a volunteer, and just wanted my approval. I couldn’t say no to that, and let him do his thing.<br />The class was packed on the first day, and a few weeks into it the students were telling me they loved it and were getting so much from it. They were finding ways to deal with their families and life challenges. He is loud and enthusiastic when he teaches, students are constantly engaged, and the students say they love his humor. I let Sokchea know he could be paid for his time.<br />To graduate from the Leadership class, and receive a lamented, color certificate with their picture, students had to have attended at least 20 classes (during their lunch hour) and pass the written exam. Several failed, but still attended the ceremony and party we threw at the end.<br />As soon as the first class ended he started a Level II class. Then we offered the Level I again, then level II, now level I again, but the class is too crowded even after turning some students away, so we need to divide the class. At this point, we have trained over 60 students in leadership, and the results are showing.<br />We rented a big tent ($12) and had a big outdoor graduation ceremony for all the community to see the proud new leaders, then rented a boat ($25, plus food) for the party. The party was all organized by the students with great care, food, games…and they danced like rock stars. It was unbelievably fun, and the difference from some of them was so inspiring. To see Chanta, a 14 year old girl who seemed so shy, get up and sing karaoke was inspiring.<br />Our biggest field trip was to the zoo/wildlife sanctuary (all animals were rescued from poachers) and the Leadership students created a Leadership Team that organized all the details and divided the students into manageable groups. They were completely amazing. There were 115 students, 8 moms, 10 foreigners, 3 buses, and a million laughs. We've never done anything with all the students outside of the school, and it was really a special day for them. After the zoo we went swimming in a mud-colored lake. They love to go swimming, and rarely get to. Most kids hardly ever leave the slum where they live, so the day had many impacts, and went like clockwork.<br />The best stories are on a personal level, such as Ly Thanh, who bought ‘teacher Sokchea’ a new shirt and wrote him a letter about how she was so much happier after taking his class. She explained that her family never encouraged her or took her side, but now she could deal with them and have compassion for their shortcomings. She later talked about how she was able to improve her business selling cooked duck eggs by being personable with customers and the police, who would ask her for money to sell in a public place.<br />I went to visit her and her family (I have tried to interview all the families), and later cried thinking about how terrible the conditions were at her house, the challenges she has overcome, and how great she turned out. Here is her letter, translated to English:<br />Dear Teacher,<br />My name is Ly Thanh, I am a student, and would like to give this [shirt] as a present to the my teacher. I would like to deeply express my appreciation to the teacher for teaching my sisters and me. Since I have come here to study, I understand a lot about the personal problems that I have had for years. The truth is that I am an unfortunate child. My parents mentally, emotionally and physically didn’t care much for me. What they have or bought, they have never given it to me; they give it to others. In addition, when other says that I am not a good child, my parents blame it on me with no reason. Because of this, it was hard for me to move forward even though I wanted to. These days only my grandma, my uncles, my aunts and others give me encouragement. When I needed help, it’s them who helped me.Since I have come to study, I have had some relief from that sadness that I had for years. The lessons at Aziza school helped to me have control of my life. I am so thankful for the teachers who gave me encouragement that my parent didn’t.Lastly, I wish teacher’s family to have happiness and good health in the family. I want to wish you to have success in work as you desired.<br /> </span></div>

<br />
<br />
On July 23rd and 24th, 2009, the Attitude Center for Education conducted an Attitude Forum in Sihanouk Province. Sihanouk is Cambodia’s premier beach town. Sihanouk is in southern Cambodia. It is a 230 km, five-hour drive from Phnom Penh.
<br />
<br />
The four people in the car enjoyed the beautiful view. They were Sokchea; Pharith, who is a student from Lakeside School; Madi, American girl who visited Cambodia for five weeks; and Synoeun.
<br />
<br />
We planned to leave Phnom Penh at 12:00 pm, but unfortunately we were late by one hour and a half because Sokchea left the key inside his car. So we left Phnom Penh at 1:30 pm.
<br />
<br />
There were 29 participants who attended our forum. They came from four different NGOs. There were five from GoodWill School, which is the school for the young kids in the village. Seven were from Maloptapang (a big NGO that has around 170 staff), six from Phoumville and 11 from Stoeung Hua, where we used to conduct the Leadership training. The participants ranged from 20 to 40 years old. In the morning session, it was not hard to encourage them because they are teachers, staff, volunteers and managers.
<br />
<br />
The problem that participants have dealt with is work-related, relationships with bosses and co-workers. “What I need is to make a better relationship,” said Neang. Teacher Sokchea made the basic point and gave an example to them to improve the communication. Attendees became really involved in the example since it was based on a real situation. Attendees were engrossed in the training about how be open and enhance their communication.
<br />
<br />
In addition, because the participants have worked, they are parents, they have much experience with “always being right.” Kolab, who is full-time staff for the Goodwill School has that issue with her co-worker, Sinah. It was only a small problem, but both of them made it become a big one. They stopped talking to each other. How difficult it is when neither of them have a good relationship. How is their work looking after the same kids in Goodwill School? It is very hard to improve their work and the kids. In this case, Sokchea helped them to solve one of the problems. Everyone tried and worked hard to find the solution. The trainer only gave them a clue, and then all the participants had to identify a solution by themselves. This is the strategy for our Attitude Forum.
<br />
<br />
However, when people are not willing to open their minds, they have gotten in trouble with their family. Sophea is a teacher of Maloptapang. He did not have an open mind, so when his parents criticized him because he usually got home late, Sophea was angry and complained to them. “Starting from now on I understood what I shall do for my life and my family. I study management. I would like to manage myself first before others,” said Sophea.
<br />
<br />
The next day participants did a very good job. They were brave, open-minded, and did what we wanted them to do.
<br />
<br />
What we are doing is really happen in their work and family.
<br />
There were many things they haven’t done yet like sharing compassion, saying thank you, and apologizing since they owe a lot to their parents. They did not say all these things because they think just working and studying hard is already enough to make them happy. It is not hard to express these feelings, but why is it that most of the participants hardly ever do so?
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sarun used to be violent toward his friends in the village when he was a gang member, “but now I would like to forgive myself and I accept my entire mistake,” he said.
<br />
<br />
The Attitude Forum is helping people to lead a new, successful life. Their work, studies, and their life will improve. They are going to be able to help their institution. We train them to be problem solvers. Attendees will have a great ability to solve problems for themselves and in their lives. All participants need to have high accountability. They are very important leaders. We are building up all of these leaders. They themselves are also trainers after getting training from this forum. Can you imagine how many others they can help? When one person improves, how many people are affected?
<br />
<br />
At the end of the forum, Sabin, the director of the Goodwill School, said she would like to give Sokchea a big thank-you. She was very happy. She told us the problem is now solved, and moreover, the staff members have more possibilities. It is a substantial thing for four these NGOs.

PROGRAM</span>
<br>
<br>
We continue to provide a bowl of porridge regularly, twice per month to more than 250 kids at Rudi Boa Centre and Wat Than slum community. The purpose of the program is to provide breakfast for kids 5 to 16 years old who cannot afford it, to have hope for better conditions in the future when they have good careers. Also, the program aims to promote a good relationship between the community and the centre and warm-hearted attention toward the kids, as well as a good relation¬ship between teachers, staff members and students.

<br />
<br />ACE has hosted the Youth Survivor Challenge programs since 2009. This year, ACE was invited by New Future for Children Orphanage (NFC) to host three days Youth Survivor Challenge in May for 18 youths on one of the most beautiful islands in Cambodia, Rabbit Island in Kep province.
<br />
<br />The program has proven to be one of the best experiences for the kids at NFC. There were Physical, Art and Treasure Hunt challenges. We’ve found out that the kids have learnt a lot from the program, especially leadership skills, time management, team work, sharing and how to have fun!

<br />In April this year, more than 250 kids were provided with Bendazol (de-worming) tablets. The students were clearly instructed on how to use the tablets effectively prior to taking home. We have noticed that some students are too skinny and do not have enough energy due to worms. Now they have changed after using the tablets.

<br />
<br />ACE provides a bowl of porridge to more than 200 kids at Rudi Boa Center and more than 20 kids at Wat Than slum community! The purpose of the program is to provide breakfast for kids 5-16 years old who cannot afford it, to have hope for better conditions in the future when they have good careers. Also, the program aims to promote a good relationship between the community and the center and warm-hearted attention toward the kids, as well as a good relationship between teachers, staff members and students. This program is held regularly twice per month at Rudi Boa Center and Wat Than Slum community and is sponsored by a group of friends from Singapore through Mr. Tan Peng Ann, who is an advisor of Attitude Centre for Education.
<br />
<br />All of the students are grateful to our donors who strive to support this program. Thanks to our friends in Singapore and also to Rudi Boa, ACE staff and team leaders who work hard to facilitate this program!

<br /> In January a group of ACE scholarship residents visited Sotheara’s family in Kandal Province. It took more than one hour to get there as the road was still under construction though once we got there we felt relaxed and enjoyed the fresh air in the country side. The trip to a resident’s hometown is often done to prolong a good connection between LTC and the resident’s family. Everyone had a lovely lunch with Sotheara’s family before heading back to the LTC in the evening.

<br />
<br />Mr. Saing Sokchea, a director of Attitude Centre for Education has become a member of the Rotary Club of Phnom Penh Metro since 2009. Since then he even got a chance to get closer to his community. In March this year, Sokchea spent two days at Battambong province—joining the Pet training with other members from five Rotary clubs in Cambodia. The training was provided by the district 3350, Thailand.
<br />
<br />The training was also—shared with all ACE scholarship residents especially the amazing work of Rotaractors around the world. All the residents are interested—and willing to get more involved in the community as they have already been doing the community services for years. This notion was brought to the Rotary meeting last week—the Rotary club of Phnom Penh Metro is in the process of setting up the first Rotaract Group in Cambodia!

<br />
<br />Puthsak, a medical team from CKF conducted training on Medicine Usage to 25 students at Rudi Boa Center. The purpose of the training is to make sure that all the participants understand how to protect themselves from taking the expired medicine and awareness of asking the pharmacist after getting medicine. We found out that the topic was very relevant to the participants since most of them have no idea how to use the medicines accurately after they’ve bought from the pharmacy.
<br />
<br />The other 35 students RBC attended First Aid training on “Burn” which was provided by Sovannary Seng a Medical and scholarship student of CKE. The training covers types of burning, how to rescue a victim from an emergency burning and transferring them to a safe place and how to protect own selves while assisting others.

<br />
<br />
<br />Attitude Centre for Education (ACE) is a local NGO found in February 2009 by Mr. Saing Sokchea, who is a former dormitory resident and a leadership trainer. He had also has another four years working with other NGOs in the slum in Phnom Penh prior to establishing ACE. Sokchea has always wanted one thing, to make a difference in the lives of many Cambodian people, particularly to empower the younger generation to become well rounded individuals who show compassion and strong leadership skill. After discussions with an Australian NGO the Cambodian Kids Foundation (CKF) the decision was made to establish the Attitude Centre for Education (ACE).

I hope that you had a very lovely Christmas and a happy New Year celebration! <br />
<br />
The year 2011 has just started but we would never forget 2010, which Rudi Boa Center brought so much change to the students, family and community at the relocation site Peace II. Initially, we started with only 3 staffs and 60 students, for classes in January but after one year of operation we're so impressed of our accomplishment and growth. We have the increase from 3 to 6 staffs, from 60 to 258 students and 11 classes. Also we have 8 Khmer regular team leaders and also volunteers from Peace II and 11 short time volunteers from United World College, Australia, USA and other countries around the world. <br />
<br />
Our students are age between 5 to 20 years old studying English from the basic level to the Pre - Intermediate level. There were 8 health trainings which were conducted by the professional health trainer Phana and three medical teams, Nary, Sophea and Put Sak from Cambodian Kids Foundation on Reproductive Health and Condom, Medicine usage, Dengue Fever and Diarrhea. They also conducted another 11 trainings to women group from Peace II including First Aid, Birth Control, Nutrition, Fever and rehydrate solution. <br />
<br />
We have the amazing team leaders at Rudi Boa who have been volunteering and assisting in different activities of Rudi Boa Centre. We also conducted 11 trainings to the 185 youths at Rudi Boa Centre on Positive Attitude, Life Plan, Leadership Development Skill, Youth Survivor Challenge, Field Trip, Wedding Law, Criminal Law, Learning Habit and Technique, and Domestic Violence. The training were conducted by the staffs and the students from ACE. Thanks ACE! We always request the outstanding students from the training to join the team leaders so that they could make a change to get more involve with the school activities and community. So far there are five former team leaders who have become staffs at Rudi Boa and others are volunteering and assisting in the computer class, Khmer; English classes, sport, art, health and hygiene.<br />
<br />
Our young staffs have remarkable improved since they have an opportunity to join numerous trainings on Classroom Management, Child Right, Child Protection, Interactive Teaching Methodologies, Effective School Management, Positive Attitude which are provided by Bridge Across Border Cambodia, Cambodian Kids Foundation and Attitude Centre for Education. <br />
<br />
Rudi Boa is not just a building, or a school that provide some important need to the children and youths at Peace II however it has also become a safe place to prevent the children and young adults from moving to the city in order to become: shoes brusher, beggar, gangster, using drugs, robber, selling flower and foods on the edge of the roads, street children and importantly avoid from going into prostitution. Instead many of them are working hard, studying hard and are preparing goals for their brilliant future. The families are not forcing their kids to find the money for them; instead they are working hard to send their children to school because they believe that Education will bring a very positive change in their family.<br />
<br />
We, especially the victims of the eviction will never and ever forget the day that they were suffered because of the eviction in the late 2009 from Dey Krahorm and also the sand filing on the Boeung Kak lake. Thousand families were fiercely forced to move out from their houses and started a new life at the relocation site Peace II. However the families have now understood that the company could evict the people from their land but they couldn't evict the knowledge from the people! Stop Eviction! Sent the Children to School! <br />
<br />
Apart from Rudi Boa centre, The Attitude Centre for Education (ACE) has also made many accomplishments in the year 2010. Our young and ambitious ACE's scholarship residents have so much opportunity to grow through our dormitory scholarship program, university scholarship program and training program. We offer them the free dormitory to live, provide them the best leadership and positive attitude trainings. They are also provided a valuable opportunities to volunteering and assisting in ACE project, Rudi Boa Centre. Many of them have reach their goals in such a short period of time by becoming project manager, accountant, project officer, project facilitator and others are volunteering and assisting in other ACE activities. <br />
<br />
Without ACE these students probably would be working as the builders, farmers, married, working in the garment factory or would have return back to their homeland without job and experience. Instead they have gain so much experience in self-confidence, have a strong personality, strong in communication skill, have a clear goal and especially they can bring back what they've learnt from ACE to their friends, family and community. <br />
<br />
In 2010, we conducted 24 trainings to 475 people and 125 of these participants who benefited from our trainings were females. Our trainings focus on: Positive Attitude, Leadership, Child protection, NGOs management. According to our survey, 57.14% of the participants are the poor students from the slum; remote communities; 14.48% NGOs staffs; 21.42% farmers and 7.14% others. <br />
<br />
All of the accomplishments at Rudi Boa Centre and Attitude Centre for Education couldn't have happened without the hard work and support from all the Cambodian Kids Foundation, Bridge Across Border Cambodia staffs and our friends around the globe! You are not working in front of us but you’re working with us, you transform us so that we could transform other people . We deeply appreciate your support and very proud of the accomplishments that we have done for the year 2010! We are ready for more new accomplishments in the year 2011! But we also strongly believe that we cannot make more accomplishments without more support from you.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year! <br />

<br />
I’m Mien, 23 years old. I was born in a small village of Travkiet, Danron Commune, Soutnikum District, Siem Reap Province. There are eight members in my family, myself, one brother, four sisters and my parents. Every member of my family are farmers. We work very hard in the rice field everyday from sunrise to dawn with our hands without a proper machine to earn money to support the family. I always dream of continuing my study at one of the universities in the city, Phnom Penh. However with the little money we earn from the hardworking in the rice field every day is impossible for me to achieve my dream.<br />
<br />
I decided to leave my village after I’ve completed my high school to find a job in Phnom Pen and also to look for an opportunity to continue my study at the university. Initially it was very difficult for me as I don’t have any relatives or friends living in Phnom Pen. I stayed alone in the rented tiny room without proper bed to sleep, study desk, kitchen and restroom. However life goes on regardless of what. I started to apply for a job but I could not find due my low educational background, lack of experience, couldn’t speak English and especially because I have a hunchback. I felt very miserable as I was unemployed and my budget was getting less, I was hopeless and helpless. <br />
<br />
One day I decided to go to the temple and ask for a place to stay as I was running out of money and couldn’t rent a room. However they didn’t trust me because I didn’t know anyone there, so I wasn’t allowed to stay in the temple. I then went to ask the Orphanage Center which was located in a slum community. I was very happy to be accepted to stay there. I found it totally new experience for me to stay in the orphanage with many other kids. At meal times everyone rang the bell and lined up to receive the meals. Sometimes when I got back from school I had to go to bed with an empty stomach as there was no foods left for me. One month later I started to study English at AZIZA School which was located next to the Orphanage Center. AZIZA is supported by Village Earth NGO which provides free English class, leadership, and other essential training skills. I was a very committed student because I wanted to learn how to speak, read and write English well like other kids in the center. I went to AZIZA and studied every day. <br />
<br />
I then applied for a dormitory scholarship at Attitude Center of Education (ACE) which is an organization providing a free housing for the disadvantaged students from the country side to stay, receiving various free basic life training skills, internet, computer, library. I feel very comfortable living at ACE as all the students here are friendly, easy going and open. We all come from different provinces across Cambodia, we go to different universities, are committed students. I feel motivated to study harder and feel very pleased to be treated equally like other students. Nobody here care about the way I look or my hunchback. <br />
<br />
Now I am a freshman and studying at Pannasastra University of Cambodia. My major is in Community Development. What makes me more excited is that I have also obtained a part time job as a data entry officer at Digital Divide Data Organization. The money that I received from my job is not much though it helps me a lot with my daily expenses. It means so much to me. <br />
<br />
Thank you very much for spending your value time in reading my background. Your consideration and generosity will make a big change to my life. I will be able to finish my degree and using my knowledge to transform other adults and kids in my village and to develop my village into a better place. I have a strong desire to help others because I totally understand exactly how it feels like when you have nothing as I was there at one point in my life. I remembered everything and I want to be there for those who are in need just like the way I am helped by others! I would like to say thank you very much for helping me and other Cambodians. It really means so much for us! Wishing you and family luck, successful and prosperity in your life! I wish one day you will visit Cambodia and all of the students in ACE again. Thanks!!<br />

Hello everybody! <br />
<br />
My name is Sorath. I was born Samroung Tung Distich, Kompong Speu province. I grew up in a poor family in Kompong Speu. I’ve one sister one youngest brother, I’m an oldest brother in my family. My father is a farmer and mother is also a farmer. They work very hard in the farm, including rainy and dry season to be able to support the family. However they don’t earn much from their farming work.<br />
Currently I’m studying at the Western University, majoring in English Literature as a student that study under the loaning system from school and I am required to repay the university once I’ve completed my degree in four year. I am very lucky to obtain the loan as there is a limited number of students can have the loan. <br />
While I was studying at high school it was the very difficult experiences. My home so far from school it about 12-15km. I always went to school with my old bicycle often it had problem. At that time I had not breakfast and sometimes lunch I woke up at 5am to ride the bicycle to school. All villagers in my village rarely have someone reach to study until graduated grade 12. All of them if the girls go to work at the garment factory and the boys go to work as worker in the city and the rest would become the farmers. People in village not encouraged me to study they said to me that “You try everyday but you still do the farmer because you live in countryside..give up your studies..there is no point to study..” except my family they always persuade, encourage me all the time. Sometimes I had no money but I had a chance to teach at student’s house and some Private school in Kompong Speu province by these ways that help me to support me. As the result I passed my examination at high school successfully. After the good thing unfortunately I couldn’t carry on my learning at university in the city for one year as my family was in financial difficulties. I was really upset and stressing out. Then one year later I saved abit of money to come and study at university in the city in 2011! I was really excited and cannot find any words to express my feeling at that time! But one thing that I knew was that I had the opportunity to walk toward my dream! And I wanted to make that dream come true! <br />
When I came to continue my dream in the city the big problem is that I had not enough money for: accommodation, water, electricity and especially daily foods so I was in a difficult situation because I’ve no any relative whom to depend on and who are living in the city. Fortunately, I met my old friend, Mr. Vicheka and then I asked him for staying short time at his place, he agreed with me moreover he recommended me to apply for scholarship at ACE. Incredibly I got the scholarship at there, I’m very happy! I can get accommodation, friendship with others students that living here, improve my knowledge, have a chance get leadership and a lot of more skills. I’m very excited with living in ACE!<br />
In fact, I have two dreams in my way. First one is want to be an English teacher, that full qualify education in order to develop my own self, community and society. The second one I want to be a business man. Because now I’m working in the coffee shop is the international one. So I try to work hard and leaning as much as I can. I hope that one time if I have the ability I’ll run it.<br />
Finally, I would like to thanks all the students at ACE who have welcomed me and have made me feel like home since I’ve arrived in ACE. I also wish to thank all the generous people in the world for supporting Cambodian students in Cambodia, to have a place to stay and study in the city so that we can have enough education and continue our dreams in helping other underprivileged people in Cambodia! I wish that ACE will be successful and will save more poor people like me!<br />

I’m Rathana, 19 years old and was born in Charjrom, Kompong Thom province. I am the oldest of four siblings in my family. My father is a farmer and my mother is a housewife. I graduated from high school in 2010 then I continued to Phnom Penh, studying accounting at Vanda University in year 1. <br />While I was in high school, I became an active member of Youth Council of Cambodia (YCC) in Kompong Tom province. I joined in many activities to help my team and my community such as keeping the environment cleaned around the market; school and many other places to protect the people from any diseases. Beside these activities, I also grew trees along the road and school. I know how to work with the community, teaching them about health and hygiene, domestic violence and many others. Moreover I used to join many short courses to change my life to be a good child and became an outstanding student at school. I used to join the Leadership course at Leadership Character of Development Institute (LCDI), which has changed my leadership and my attitude. I know what leader means, responsibilities and how to become a good leader. Especially, I now know how to become good role model and how to solve problems. <br />After I graduated from high school, I always dream of studying at a university in Phnom Penh though I didn’t have the money to pay for the accommodation and tuition fee. I asked my mum to support my study for the first year and I had promised her to look for a place to stay and also to apply for the scholarships in the university. While I was studying in my first year, and also rent a tiny room with other two of my friends. I had to pay money for the electricity; water bills as well as foods and the room has no proper place to study. I feel that I repeated doing something over again and again every day and my life was growing nothing. My parent work so hard every day to send me to Phnom Penh because they wish that if I could get a high education, good job then I could help my other brothers and sisters at home but then I did not think that I could make it if I still kept on staying in the same tiny room without any guideline or direction from anyone. How sad my parent would have been if they knew that I have learnt nothing from school. How could I help my family if I couldn’t even help myself. I desperately need a place that I feel home and could gain experience so that I could use that experience to help my family otherwise I would have to return back to my hometown and do the farming like my parents do however I don’t want to do the farming as I won’t earn much to support my own family in the future. <br />One day I received information from my friend that there is an organistion called Attitude Centre for Education which provides the scholarship for staying and many short courses to the scholarship residents. The main courses are Attitude Forum and Leadership Development skill to build young people in Cambodia becoming a good leader in Cambodia. I was so excited to hear that and I quickly completed the form and joined the two days Attitude Forum which came as a surprise course to me! <br />I’ve passed the interviewed and have been accepted to stay at ACE ! I am going to move in on the 06th January 2011. I am really excited and looking forward to spending time with other scholarship residents and also the young potential leaders of Cambodia! I will try all my best to be strong like them and I will change my life to be a good leader so that I will be able to share my knowledge and skill to my family and my country! Thank you so much with your beautiful heart in helping me to stay in ACE!!!Sokcheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06477193442603607169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774311221404593245.post-56339347475573330712011-04-06T23:14:00.000+07:002011-04-06T23:22:12.798+07:00Kimlong-Young ACE's hero<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYtfMKaHmXV0DmNN97wacoBcJ8G74buLhoytDiaH6VfmkzXeLUHWmWkH4XlymaGvdCJQqlsv2XAdxlgadez_s7kJZMkg-pd3_6oCQ7ay08pRg0oL2TDuBJNrPlc0ZnGLNKFaPpi-c-sYo/s1600/Veth+%2526+Kimlong-AIS+uniform.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYtfMKaHmXV0DmNN97wacoBcJ8G74buLhoytDiaH6VfmkzXeLUHWmWkH4XlymaGvdCJQqlsv2XAdxlgadez_s7kJZMkg-pd3_6oCQ7ay08pRg0oL2TDuBJNrPlc0ZnGLNKFaPpi-c-sYo/s320/Veth+%2526+Kimlong-AIS+uniform.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592506637794257842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-nc2ZwrB1FXO4epsuLqkfLfCbkzOld4hKvplbtNO4sFlUJBxP_n3EMlSuI0kJEcHaBYjY2N4Le9FBZy3GJNgpLyYBPqY5UEdujpDMf1c-aBVIuQ0kYapMq-AbSqhnmIsb5SK07n9WYK3m/s1600/DSC07498.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-nc2ZwrB1FXO4epsuLqkfLfCbkzOld4hKvplbtNO4sFlUJBxP_n3EMlSuI0kJEcHaBYjY2N4Le9FBZy3GJNgpLyYBPqY5UEdujpDMf1c-aBVIuQ0kYapMq-AbSqhnmIsb5SK07n9WYK3m/s320/DSC07498.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592506636934750306" /></a><br />I am 15 years old and was born in the Beoung Kak lake slum in Phnom Penh where more than 4000 families used to live on the lake. My father drunk and drowned in the lake when I was only 8 months. I spend my childhood as the rubbish collector in the city for about 5 years before I changed my business to be the shoes brusher. I started my job as the shoes brusher after my mum become pregnant and have another baby with my stepfather, Pov who is a builder. The baby didn't have milk to drink and my mum didn't have enough food to eat as she couldn't work at that time. So I decided to ask my mum if I could change my business to become the shoes brusher so that I thought that I could earn more money for the family. So my mum allowed me to started the new business as the shoe brusher since then. I was happy with my new job but I didn't get a chance to go to school. My business was going well which I could earn on average $2.5 per day. Initially I could earn only $0.50 a day as I didn't know how to find customers. Eventually some days I could earn up to $5 a day!<br /><br />Unluckily the government sold that land to a private company. All the residents there were all fiercely evicted to a relocation site to Peace II (where ACE is running the Rudi Boa Centre). My mum's house was one of the 4000 houses and family that were evicted. <br /><br />My family had no choice but had to move our house to a new place which is Peace II, 22km away from the city. It was the sadness time for me and my family because I lost my job as a shoes brusher and my whole family also lost the job. In the hard situation like that, I decided to borrow one of my friend's bike to use it so that I could come to work in Phnom Penh as the shoes brusher. I needed to wake up at 4 am, ride 22 km to Phnom Penh everyday and ride another 22km back to my home. <br /><br />I also decided to start my English class at Rudi Boa with the basic English with other younger kids than him. One of our volunteers at Rudi Boa bought a bicycle for me and later on they register me in grade 3to one of the public schools close to my house but the school does not have any quality. They also tried to set up the small business for my mum so that I could go to school again. <br /><br />Now I have moved to live in ACE with another little boy, Veth and another 12 university students. Luckily, I was given a sponsor to go to a private school. Thank so much to Samuel! <br /><br />I am so extremely excited to go to a good school, have a good friends, and good teacher especially I can go to very expensive school that I never could dream of. <br /><br />I am deeply thanks to Sam, Chibodia and everyone that has given this chance to me to have a new life and a bright future! I have transformed from a shoe brusher to become an AIS student! I promise that in a few years from now I am committed and will try my very best to get number 1 at my school! <br /><br />Best Wishes <br />KimlongSokcheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06477193442603607169noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774311221404593245.post-55145762499470311162010-11-06T22:37:00.000+07:002010-11-06T22:41:56.025+07:00Hello everybody!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyEenaOBNeCO7U94Fohpok6-3dat3UrkHzs63U7s6mznGxJzwqhku8VLDFyE3LxpZ-noOdvoM-C_1s23GWKIAErIe0xZSIdNjYOEPH_NWCyOnslcN6fNbmq-t-P1yDVRHVSi_Yz-D5RiO-/s1600/DSC05037.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyEenaOBNeCO7U94Fohpok6-3dat3UrkHzs63U7s6mznGxJzwqhku8VLDFyE3LxpZ-noOdvoM-C_1s23GWKIAErIe0xZSIdNjYOEPH_NWCyOnslcN6fNbmq-t-P1yDVRHVSi_Yz-D5RiO-/s320/DSC05037.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536462109512899426" /></a><br /><br />I have been living in Cambodia and it is located in Southeast Asia, sharing borders with Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Following French colonization, Cambodia went through various revolutionary regimes. In 1975, the radical Khmer Rouge devastated Cambodia, taking the lives of over two million people with knock on effects throughout Cambodia. Unfortunately removal of this murderous regime was accompanied by the Vietnamese which led to a prolonged civil war. <br />After the war, the toll on the people was immense. Most of the people remaining had lost members of their families, leaving countless widows and orphans. In addition, many were left disabled from war and it’s after effects such as land mines. The people faced many obstacles to normal life such as ill health, lack of education, unemployment and in particular poverty. Moreover, the psychological trauma from years of war, compounded by the enduring suffering of many survivors, began to manifest in dangerous behavior. An increase was seen in drug and alcohol addiction, the spread of communicable and venereal diseases, violence within families, sexual abuse of children and smuggling of children for sexual abuse, as well as other criminal activities. Besides this, It small country want to have a lot of educational system like English, leadership skill and information technology and we are still developing country. This aspect we need a lot of human resources to develop by improved knowledge above. So I determination myself to study hard to make all things in my country extremely transferred. <br />I would like to take this occasionally to express my story to all of you. My name is khorn Sokheng, 21 years old. Lately, I have been studying year 3 at Royal University of Law and Economics in the field of Law. I come from remote area at Prey Veng province that it does not have enough school, hospital, electricity and also have many poor people. <br />Studying with the school that doesn’t have sufficient material coincidence with very needy family make me very difficult to school sometimes I push myself to walk to school that it very far away. My mother sells Khmer cake and father stay at home without work anymore. After I have no class at school I always bring Khmer cake to sell in the village to get some money to support family and my study. And for my sister, she has her own family thus she needs to complete her to. I nearly give up my study at grade 12 because of anything get stuck in my family. In spite of all these things happened to me but I more often memorize the word “I must be keep on my studying at university.”<br />You know, I was extremely delighted to my high school passed exam. I graduated from high school I wanted more than anything to continue my study to university but this was not realistic for my family as we are peasants. Because of situation of my parents they are so old and cannot find money to support me to keep on studying at university and they expected me to find job to earn money instead of studying. <br /><br />Phnom Penh was arrived by me in 2008 I am so excited all the high way and with building and everything new for me. By working as a construction worker and a little bit support from my sister and uncle I can keep on my university class but everything is not enough like school fee, rent house, electricity, food and water. <br /><br />I was very happy for my first step at university that I did think I won’t have my present in this class. Everything is transfer by having a lot of friends without discrimination despite of I am the poor student. In good destiny I saw an information board advertising student leadership scholarship at Attitude Centre for Education. I was very excited so I applied it immediately and having wait a few days and soon after ACE staff called me to study Attitude Forum that it the basic training course it made me very changeable by getting a new lesson from the trainer like I can collect my feeling, brave, open mind and other special things. However, they contacted to interview and some ability test as well. <br /><br />Currently, I am a scholarship student, law volunteer trainer, project assistant of Cambodian Kids Care which means I have place to stay. On the other hand I can help by what I can do and one more thing I can share to everybody what I have learnt from school and my life experience because I thought that If Cambodian people brain can rapid growth our country would be better than what we still was. <br /><br />Group living in ACE make me very happy because everybody love each other like brother and sister. We mutual help, learn together by sharing club, debate club, playing sport, and what especially ACE provided me leadership training who Mr Saing Sokchea is a skillful trainer. <br /><br />In hobbies I do physical exercise, reading book, news event, history, other law document, and also English to build and develop my knowledge. In a head only goal that I want to study abroad are International Criminal Law and International Relationship. <br /><br />In short, to begin with I would like to extend my profound gratitude to all donator who always spend energy and time to give generous gift to us without thinking its big burden. I have no anything back but I have merely try study hard, hard working and does everything make my life success.<br /><br />Thanks for your time reading,<br /><br />SokhengSokcheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06477193442603607169noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774311221404593245.post-88997693030175904182010-11-06T22:28:00.000+07:002010-11-06T22:37:33.453+07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsU3UvPGzbBB1hspVWrcNu8f-Zf6wD7YeQFM9iw4zYUbSNjjXNuOEU-UaDd4tfJZT8aqj7LOrc0H_PIRGqIyqvXNNCynjyE5M5kHzbDhYHzbXKL-eJkbD2OFTMPxnjFW01J1z_BGYQx2__/s1600/DSC03122.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsU3UvPGzbBB1hspVWrcNu8f-Zf6wD7YeQFM9iw4zYUbSNjjXNuOEU-UaDd4tfJZT8aqj7LOrc0H_PIRGqIyqvXNNCynjyE5M5kHzbDhYHzbXKL-eJkbD2OFTMPxnjFW01J1z_BGYQx2__/s320/DSC03122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536461294712289890" /></a><br />Hello! My name is Channak Sam 21 year old, march. Takeo province is my birthplace I have four siblings, two younger brothers; I’m a second child in family. My father 58 year old, he stays home and mother 60 year old, she has sold foods meat on the edge road. She couldn’t be able to work without my sister helps. My sister stops study to help my mother work since she grade 6th until now. Sometime I want to give up my study to help them but she said, we have tried like this because we didn’t want anybody like them.<br />In 2008, I finished high school and I decided to continue my study at Phnom Penh on the field of Civil Engineer. I do love my subject and I hope I can help my family and my country.<br />The first I came to Phnom Penh alone and I asked for my friends to stay with them. I live in the small narrow house that only 2 people is available to stay but we need 5 friends to stay to reduce money expend. I never thought from day to day. What I need to do beside of my study? I have no ambition for my future when living with them. Living in the rent house with the people comes from the remote area, want to learn much more about leisure in Phnom Penh and always go outside when have free time. My futures seem like a firefly. Since this time I always find a scholarship in everywhere until I found ACE. Thanks so much for recruited me as the scholarship student and thanks so much for more experience living at the rent house. During one year, I’m doing as the admin assistance. ACE provided me a lot of things, what I lack of, and leadership. In this course I knew the way we live in society using communication, self-confident, getting to know myself, set goal for future. Attitude Forum is also importance for lead me to be proud to make communication with each other, know how to solve problem when it occurs. <br />Those things have been happened to my life. Over one year a go! I have been living at Attitude Centre for Education. I feel very happy, that ACE gives me one more year to stay.

Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
My name is Vuthy, 19 years old. I come from a poor family at Svay Rieng province, Cambodia. My family and I have gone through so many difficulties in life. My father left us and the homeland to do army at Cambodia-Thailand border since I was five years old. He then didn’t return back since he found a new girlfriend. I lived with my mother and sister in our small house. My mother worked so hard to earn money to support me and my sister to study every day. She managed everything in our family. I wanted to help her but I couldn’t do it. My sister had to give up on her studies in grade 6th to help my mum earning money for our family. She didn’t want to give up school, she loved studying and she’s one of the smart students in her classes. She worked very hard as a garment worker in the capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. My family is a farmer so I must also help grandfather in the farm since he’s old. I tried to study very hard because my school was about 25 kilometer from my house. After I had finished high school I didn’t know “Where I wanted to go? What I wanted to do? What I can do?” <br />
Luckily, my cousin Synoeun had told me about Attitude Center for Education and she also suggested me to apply for a scholarship at the center. I started to apply for the scholarship and I did pass the interview and obtained a scholarship for my study at a university. Before I was granted the scholarship I had to participate in the Attitude Forum and also leadership training in ACE. Because of those trainings I was able to improve my inner self. I had become another person with so much confidence in myself. I was able to improve my communication and problems solving skill as well as net working. <br />
<br />
On March, 1st 2010 I was so excited! I moved to live in the Attitude Center for Education (ACE)! It was the first day in my life that I moved to stay in a dorm! On the first day I wanted to cry as soon as I put my feet in ACE. ACE supports me so much with my scholarship dormitory and studying at university! It provides me with many opportunities to get to know other NGOs, participated in many trainings and I can also make any discussions with other scholarship students who are staying in ACE where required. In ACE I can also use computer get a free access to the Internet, Email and a lot of others things. Before coming to ACE I had no idea at all about computers. I had never seen one before; I didn’t even realize that computers existed! But they do exist!! Hence when I saw them at ACE I didn’t know how to turn them on? What can I do with them? Eventually my computer skills have been improved so much. Teacher Sokchea SAING has been very helpful to me as well as to other scholarship students. He always gives me many great advices. One of his philosophies that I will always keep in mind is “The Cambodian people must be transformed before we can transform Cambodia into a better country!” Hence we must help people in Cambodia by providing them many relevant trainings such as Leadership, to help them initiating net working, build up self-confidence, to believe in themselves that everything is possible if we put our heart and soul into it. I have passed my knowledge and have shared many of my experiences to a lot of other students especially from slum areas. I give them many advices and opinions on “Life Plan” and how to success in studying? I feel proud of myself because of many things I have done to help other underprivileged students. <br />
<br />
Nowadays, I’m volunteering in ACE, Rudi Boa and Saing Sy Center which are the main projects of Cambodian Kids Foundation. Of course, I’m excited when I can be of any helps to a lot of other students but I would never forget my studying. I’m studying Information Technology and English. I love my subjects very much! I’m also one of the leaders in the study club at my university, even though I’m busy with my studying I’m very happy to spare my busy time to help others achieving their dreams. <br />
<br />
In my free time I like reading books and net surfing on computer to help improve my knowledge in the area of my studies and also in my English communication skills. I want to be the best student in my class! And also to fulfill my dream in the future so I don’t mind of studying very hard right now! <br />
<br />
Finally, I would like to thank you “Sharron” and “Your family” for your amazing generosity in having been supporting me to study at university! If it wasn’t because of YOUR support then I wouldn’t be standing where I am right now! And I wouldn’t be able to achieve what I’ve achieved so far in life!! To acknowledge your support I will try to study harder and will share my knowledge and what I’ve learnt from university to other students especially those underprivileged students who never have a chance to go to school. THANK YOU!! <br />
<br />
Love<br />
<br />

Hello everybody! I am very happy to introduce myself to you all. My name is Sotheara Suon and I am 20 years old. I was born in Kandal province, Keinsvay district. I am an oldest child in a family of five sons and a daughter. Currently I’m studying at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) majoring in Khmer literature.<br />
<br />
While I was studying at high school I always had a wish of passing all my examinations with a (C) grade as it’s very venerable if you’re studying in the countryside and could obtain that grade. As a result, my dream became true! It was not just only me feeling satisfying but so did my whole family as well as my friends! I was really proud of my achievement!<br />
<br />
I moved to Phnom Penh in 2008 after I had finished my exam. Initially when I arrived to Phnom Penh for the first time in my life, I knew nothing about my way around in the city. I did not know anyone nor did I have any relatives or friends to stay with. I felt very upset and was very stressful as everything was new to me. Luckily, life in the city has taught me many new things that I had never knew before when I was staying in my home town. Everything is absolutely different from the countryside such as: many roads, lifestyle, the way city people thinking and the list would just go on and on. As days pass by, I become increasingly understandable the way life in the city work. In Phnom Penh, I do not only learn from my university but also from other events that are happening to me and society. My knowledge is mounting up step by step. I then later learn to appreciate those hardships I had encountered during those times because they were my best teachers I would never have a chance to learn from any schools or universities and I would not have learnt to appreciate my life much had I not encountered those issues. Additionally I was very lucky enough to befriend with many good people. They assisted me whenever I faced any issues. They encouraged me to stand up when I lose fate in myself; they encouraged me to become a stronger person whenever I fell down. My friends usually brought knowledge with them to share with me. We had joined many workshops that provide information on current issues happening in our society. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, one day I was offered a scholarship to study Khmer Literature at RUPP, again it was a great news for me especially my parents! However along with this happy news, I was still struggling to adapt to a new environment in the city and I also knew that I had to encounter many other financial difficulties such as paying bills for: accommodation, water, electricity and especially foods. Sometimes I dreamed of obtaining another scholarship for accommodation from another university or NGO however it was only a dream. And I thought that dreams do not exist….<br />
<br />
One day, one of my friends whose name Phearith, gave me an opportunity to participate in a 2 days course called “Attitude Forum” which was conducted by Mr. Sokchea SAING. After completing the course I was very surprised of how much knowledge I gained from the course! I was pretty much interested in the course, the way him conducting the course as well as administering the class! I was not only impressed with his lesson but also including his teaching skill! He is a very dynamic teacher who I have never and ever met in my whole life! And because of the course I was able to make more good friends such as Savy, Synoeun and so on. They are very interesting people; they shared their ideas with me and my friends. They told me about the Attitude Centre for Education and recommended me to apply for the scholarship there. As it is a centre which provides many opportunities for underprivileged students from slum areas as well as countryside to be able to have a place to stay, to attend university and especially to facilitate personal growth in youth. As a result, after I filled out the form and answered the four questions which basically related to my Background, Attitude and my Vision, it took me almost four months later to hear exciting news from ACE! However I didn’t mind those months I had to wait for the result of my application, as it was one of those contented news which you wouldn’t mind waiting for! <br />
<br />
Staying at ACE has given me so many prospects in life. I have learnt so many things from other scholarship students; we have shared various ideas with each other. We have made good memories together. We help each other, cook and have meals together; all the 15 of us. ACE is much better than other places which I have been. It empowers us to be able to join in various trainings which are conducted by Mr. Sokchea, to have fate in ourselves, to look up high and reach our goals, to become brilliant potential leaders and most prominently the provision of opportunities for us to contribute in helping developing our community and overall Cambodia!<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to all the members of Cambodian Kids Foundation who continue spending your precious time and energy in supporting all the underprivileged students in Cambodia thus for us to be educated and have a bright and the best future! Your support means so much for us! Also I would like to thank teacher Sokchea who has given me the best opportunity to stay at ACE, without you I probably wouldn’t have met more good people and wouldn’t believe that our DREAMS do exist if we are strongly committed! Finally I’m very appreciative for everybody in ACE who has welcomed me with full compassion and has volunteered to assist and has shown so much support to me. THANK YOU ALL!! <br />
<br />
Best regards <br />
<br />

Kampong Thom, 10th July 2010,<br />
<br />
<br />
How are you both? Firstly, I would like to acknowledge your kindness having given me the chance to attend school since I was young. Especially, mom works extremely hard and would never take any days off, having the cheapest food, saving every penny so that I could afford sending me to school. I would never disregard your generosity. I sincerely ‘Thank You’ for everything you’ve done for me! I totally understand that, you have been working so hard. However I honestly have no choice, I must continue on my studying, I couldn’t give it up for a job since primary school like others to feed their parents. I really don’t want the kind of jobs which you both have been having. But I have committed to study hard, putting all my heart and soul into my studies in an expectation that I will be offered a very good job upon my completion of studies. I hope to help our whole family with a much better living style than what we’re having nowadays. <br />
<br />
Even though I am looked down by other people on my capacity due to my appearance, nevertheless I will never alter my goal and even work harder to reach my dreams. Although, they are keeping their eyes on my ability and mock back at me when I couldn’t make it through the national examination, I am determined to even trying harder to turn all my dreams to fruition. Every morning I would hear the sarcasms from others: “….you, don’t study hard, your parents work too hard for you why don’t you give up your studies and help them, your parents can’t support you for the rest of your life. You are a girl, what’s the point of you to have a higher education. How can you study far away from home? Where will you live in the city, living in pagoda like boys would be impossible..Girls can never have a good job, just get married and look after the kids. Beside you are too poor, too short and unattractive so who would offer you a job?...” <br />
<br />
All of these ironic words have kept inside my mind, penetrated into my heart and soul for the last few years. And in the worst case I was hopeless and helpless, I used to hate people, always wanted to be left alone. I had always have negative thoughts regarding my appearance, I was hesitated of whether continuing on my studies, I couldn’t find out the way to achieve my dreams, there was no improvement at all in my daily performance as days passed by, and as the result I couldn’t pass my national exam. Mother and father, I would like to apologies that you have been disappointed because of me. I am so sorry.<br />
<br />
Parents, please don’t wait for me at this weekend as I am taking a two days short course ‘Attitude Forum’ that is exceptionally important for the improvement of my life. It’s like I’m awaken from the negative thoughts that I used to have. I’ve learnt the way of becoming a successful person. I am now an open minded and optimistic person, happily accepted communication from others, and wouldn’t want to be left alone like I used to. I value myself, and of everything else I possess. I am now determined to make my dreams happen, enter and join a new world which I had never knew before. I want to live as a bird where they can fly to wherever they wish and understanding everything in the society. <br />
<br />
I would like to acknowledge Mr. Sokchea SAING and all its members for having built this school. Without the school I can never become who I am today. <br />
<br />
I wish you all the best. <br />
<br />

Everybody and every student always have their own dreams and want the dream to come to fruition one day, especially long for a bright future and have a very good job in the future. My name is Men Vantha and I come from a small village of Svay Rieng province. Currently, I am studying in the second year of Management at Build Bright University and also a scholarship student of Attitude Center for Education. <br />
<br />
I have 2 sisters and one brother. My two sisters had given up school since they were studying in high school, grade 8 due to the financial difficulties in my family and my brother is presently studying in primary school, grade 6. <br />
I had graduated from high school in 2008 and kept on my studying in Phnom Penh. Living in Phnom Penh was a very difficult experience for me as I have no relative and then I decided to rent a house with my friend. The renting cost was $60 per month. All my expenses on; tuition, study materials, English language and renting cost were all paid by my mum. I spent $80 monthly and it was really a huge amount for my whole family. My mum worked extremely hard while she was ill to afford sending me and my brother to school. <br />
<br />
One day, I was told by Mr. Put Set to study free English at Aziza school which is an American-based organization. There I had a chance to improve my English. 6 months after I had been studying at Aziza school, I heard excellent news for my life that, Attitude Center for Education (ACE) was recruiting for underprivileged students who are from all the provinces in Cambodia to offer the scholarships. After hearing this information, I rushed to apply and then I had joined “Attitude Forum” Training that provided by Mr. Sokchea SAING. The training has transformed me into a new person, by changing my attitude toward my future and reminds me of who I really am, opening mind, forgiving, problem solving, self-controlling, and especially the definition of LIFE. A few weeks after the training, I heard the exciting and incredible news that I had been offered the Scholarship! <br />
<br />
While staying in ACE I am offered a chance to join the Youth Development Leadership Program with other scholarship students. The training has influenced me and taught me about leading’s operation such as: what is leading? How to become an effective potential leader, have a self-confident and self-motivated. <br />
<br />
After my mum passed away in November 2009 I became a hopeless, helpless and stressfulness person but the Leadership Program made me understand clearly the meaning of life and I always encourage myself and tried harder to make my dream come true. Although sometime I feel so lonely but I would always think about my future and my goal. I would always remind myself that life is hopefulness so that I can encourage myself every time I feel tired or upset. <br />
<br />
Currently I have been given a brilliant opportunity to be a project manager at Rudi Boa Centre while I am only 20 years old. I could not have achieved this much without the support of ACE & Cambodian Kids Foundation! <br />
<br />
I have three fundamental dreams in my life. First dream is to be able to help other people and especially vulnerable children in the slum area. Second dream is to open a school in my homeland for all the children and youth. The final dream is to train myself to become a professional trainer of “Attitude Forum” and “Leadership Program”. <br />
<br />
In conclusion my special thanks are due to Cooper’s family and all the CKF heroes in Australia for your generosity and supports in establishing CKF. Without all of your help I would not be standing where I am right now! I would also like to thank teacher, Saing Sokchea who is the one that I have been inspired by because of your good role model, constant support and encouragement. Who has taught me a good attitude, strong leadership and who would always remind me of a concept of helping and sharing with others. Thanks also to my other ACE scholarship friends for your valuable suggestions and who would always give me a new hope. <br />
<br />
Best Wishes<br />

<br />
Mr. Sokchea SAING conducted the Attitude Forum to the first Lawmaker<br />
<br />
ACE conducted Attitude Forum to the first Cambodian Lawmaker, Mr. Sam Sundoeun and his 36 disadvantage students. Of which 11 female students stay in his house during their studying in Phnom Penh, where it takes 30 minutes by the car from ACE. <br />
<br />
They do need ACE to help with building them how to open-minded, have a better relationship with their managers, families and friends who live in the house where many people come from different places. The Forum was really inspiring, touching and helped them to discover the real happiness and future plan. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Long-term Leadership Course <br />
<br />
The long term leadership course, which takes six months for completing, had started on 1st October, 2009. After completing the theories then we will have other six month to do the internship.

<br />
The first weekend of March, Sokchea SAING conducted the Attitude Forum for 31 youths for Youth School in Boeung Kak slum. There were 4 candidates who had applied for a job at Saing Sy Center. Attitude Forum facilitated us to select the best candidates to work with our NGO. <br />
<br />
“I stopped going to school since I was in grade 7. Nowadays, I am a builder but I want to be an English teacher. Now I understand so I’ll start school again by next year.” Phally said.<br />
<br />
ACE scholarship students <br />
The ACE offers accommodation for university students in Phnom Penh. These students come from the provinces but without sufficient fund to support their studies. The ACE students, who live in the centre dormitories, are given a leadership training scholarship and receive a free accommodation. <br />
In total there are 14 students but 8 of them have become staffs who work with all CKF projects. And the other six students are assisting and volunteering to the staffs. After the leadership training they will do the internship with some of our projects and our partnership NGOs. Every weekend and whenever they are free they always volunteer in either ACE or one of our other three CKF projects.<br />
There were three students became the top team leaders in three months period. They have become dormitory coordinators. <br />
ACE students have helped Rodi Boa Centre painting the classroom, backroom wall and teaching students. They volunteered to help building Saing Sy Centre, aiding the Outreach Program and translating. Now they are able to make a good team work, responsible and strong leadership. They are striving to empower their leadership to the communities.Sokcheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06477193442603607169noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774311221404593245.post-50209481069143723462010-06-14T23:27:00.000+07:002013-06-25T17:11:40.674+07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wN-F1MDpM5Uf1VhDyAttHp2VBl0i_vGvsdonrx6cQxCMBj0JvjhrwKOEdKRPEDqajOeoxjLoFjBXbEAoJVcsXH9OdZYMcIJb2JdUJtiRQK4HkkDV7t4MNrbUwNAMd_e3aNXyDw2rsnEA/s1600/DSC05164.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482672216550840322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wN-F1MDpM5Uf1VhDyAttHp2VBl0i_vGvsdonrx6cQxCMBj0JvjhrwKOEdKRPEDqajOeoxjLoFjBXbEAoJVcsXH9OdZYMcIJb2JdUJtiRQK4HkkDV7t4MNrbUwNAMd_e3aNXyDw2rsnEA/s320/DSC05164.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
A New Life of an orphan boy<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Zoo Visiting <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ACE purchased the Cambodia Daily Newspaper <br />
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. <br />

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. <br />

<br />
Dear Friends, <br />
<br />
The Attitude Centre for Education (ACE) are specifically designed to bring about positive attitudes in Cambodia’s younger generation. We strongly believe that all the youth are capable, but lack the opportunity to achieve their dreams. <br />
<br />
In early 2009, we had the remarkable idea of opening ACE, providing leadership training, dormitory rooms, and a scholarship program for disadvantaged students from the slums and province areas. At the same time, we decided to establish an outreach program to help the people who were evicted from Dey Krahorm by providing child care, a women’s clinic, business experience, and general family assistance. <br />
<br />
Looking at our accomplishments, 2009 was a busy year for us. Since we established ACE, we have conducted one year of leadership training for 24 students. We also conducted two-day workshops for leadership training and the Attitude Forum 23 times for 15 NGOs and schools with 773 participants of various backgrounds, though most of them were students. With scholarship program, we have paid university fees for four students and will provide for five more students next year. There are seven students who have been staying in ACE’s dormitory, including two females with free accommodation. <br />
<br />
We established the outreach program after realizing the needs of the people from Dey Krahorm who were evicted in late 2008. We now have four children who come to day care from Monday through Saturday. We give them breakfast and lunch every day, and in the afternoons we take them to pre-school. We have also been giving scholarships to four students from the Bording Blog. One is studying in grade 8 at Pannasastra International School. The women’s clinic has helped 11 women, from age 15 to 45, get medical treatment. There have been 505 toys taken to Australia through our Start a Business. <br />
<br />
With leadership training and other short-term workshops, we have provided a lot of training for the students and staff members. We also allowed them to put what they learned into practice by encouraging them to join as many sessions as they could and to volunteer in our projects.<br />
<br />
In 2010, we plan to run two more projects providing non-formal education. One is established at relocation site, Rudi Boa Center, another site 22 km from Phnom Penh, and is being managed by a student from ACE. The other one will be established in a remote area in the Kampong Thom province, Saing Sy Centre, with a program similar to the Rudi Boa Centre and also managed by a student from ACE. <br />
<br />
I feel confident saying that through our ACE programs, the staff and students have been transforming their life, family, community, and country. We not only conduct the training for students; we also allow them to invite their parents, relatives, and friends to join our course. We first find out what they really want and then help them to make their dreams come true. So they become transformed. I know that even if these people cannot spend the rest of their lives changing Cambodia as a whole for the better, they can still change themselves, their family, friends, schools, and the communities where they work or live—all because of ACE and CKF. <br />
<br />
Thanks always for your support to give them hope. With that, the country itself will improve because each individual we have touched becomes a better person. <br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
<br />

Across Culture of Three Potential Guest speakers in Long-Term Leadership Course<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all, the Attitude Centre for Education (ACE) received three special guest speakers from different countries to share their experiences of how they could be successful in their life and studying to the long-term leadership program in the Attitude Centre for Education (ACE). The program is usually conducted for three days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6: 00pm- 8:45pm that has decided to initiate and volunteered to train by a ACE leadership professional trainer, Mr. Sokchea SAING.<br />
<br />
Currently, there are 20 attendees including 6 ACE staffs, external and internal students who are living in the Attitude Dormitory. The participants has had six months for study theory then the course will give them the extensive practice needed to develop their knowledge of the realistic attitude in leadership.<br />
<br />
In fact in November the class was very interesting because we had talked about the body-language in being an effective leader. The body language in leadership is a universal knowledge that is a vital advantage part of leaders’ successful life.<br />
<br />
In addition, we’ve provided them the across culture by the speech of three guest speakers that first of all was Sophea, 29, is a Khmer Australian Sophea’s graduated Master Degree of finance. She shared information about the culture and living standard of Australia. “No matter where you are if you study hard and work hear you’ll be successful” said Sophea<br />
<br />
Further more, we honor to get a Khmer American from the Unite State, Phal, 59 years, is a program officer of Sustainable Organization in Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia, to share about the western people and culture, traffics laws and education system in USA. Phal is a Cambodian refugee who went to the United States in 1979. Then Phal also share his successful strategies in educated method to his children. <br />
<br />
By the end of month Sokchea invited his best Piseht Um, 29 years old, is an office manager of CBN Cambodia who has graduated in development with a background of a computer science and has a great passion for his PhD in Organizational leadership. In fact, Piseth’s boss is in Thailand so he seems like the representative of country director in Phnom Penh. Piseth did the presentation about his scholarship trip to abroad, USA and Malaya for the “One Young World Leader”. <br />
<br />
Piseth’s background was very touching to the students feelings because he came from the poor farmer family. But now he is one of the most successful people because of the struggle of life and gives a high value of education. He study hard and work with the word “SMART” and “WISE”. More over, he shared the 10 trips when traveling overseas like traveling in comfort, Documentation, Stay Healthy, What are the culture expectations, ext... “Works are not bigger that You and the Opportunity gives us quick improvement” said Piseth. <br />

Building up the good relationship between Student’s and Staff’s parents through the Attitude Forum <br />
<br />
<br />
ACE invited the parents and relatives of the ACE students to attend our leadership program. The purpose of the invitation is to help build good relations between ACE and the student’s parents through the leadership program on the 21st to 22nd November, 2009. 42 participants attended the forum at the Attitude Centre for Education. They were from all kinds of departments such as farmers, students, seller, perspective doctors and nurse and NGO staff. <br />
<br />
The parents came from different provinces because all the scholarship students in the Attitude Dormitory are come from around Cambodia. The parents stayed in ACE for three nights so that they used this chance to ask how much their children have improved and and learnt from the new techniques to bring a better life condition. <br />
<br />
Mr. Bunthy, 55 is Chanak’s father said “I leave school for 30 years but today I come to study a very good lesson. I am so happy and thank you teacher and ACE.”<br />
<br />
“My family situation won’t be able to pay for my daughter study in university and the place to stay to get a good physically and technology knowledge and specifically can teach her in a good attitude. Thank you for your great help” said Phally’s mum. <br />

The Attitude Forum for Slum Building Block & Boeung Kak Lake students<br />
<br />
<br />
On September 10th and 11th, 2009, the Attitude Centre for Education conducted the Attitude Forum for 27 participants who came from different NGOs. They came from Aziza, Lakeside and PAD. <br />
<br />
On the first day of training, our trainer, Sokchea SAING guided our participants to understanding of the Attitude Forum Stream. “We are very pleased to receive donations for the Attitude Forum curriculum big panu (picture) from the shop printer,” said Sokchea. <br />
<br />
For the first speech by the trainer, there were two organizations that came from the slum area. They are our good friends. We have worked a few years with them. They are the point of our mission. Some of them in this organization are high school students who haven’t graduated, and others are studying at university and have no job.<br />
<br />
In these two days, what did they want from our forum? What did they bring to the forum? Panha said, “I am bringing a big problem to the forum. I am a second-year student at university. I am facing the problem of not having money to support my studying. I can go to school because I had a job at Cambosix Company. Because Cambosix was stopped by the government, I had no job. It was offered for my study. My school will reopen in October. Thus, I do not have any money. What can I do to get a job?”<br />
<br />
Panha asked about Sokchea’s experience because Panha wanted to know how Sokchea became a successful person. Sokchea said, “We have two ears but only one mouth. Why? How many people know themselves? How many people change their habits to change their life?” “We have a saying that is ‘Hands touch the sky, feet stand on the earth, but rarely value their job.’ I became a success because I always place high value on my work,” Sokchea added.<br />
<br />
Pisey said, “I am studying at a beauty salon but it is not what I want. I really want to study information technology.” Pisey did not value her work. Her work won’t improve because she doesn’t love it. The trainer said, “If you want to be a successful and useful person, you have to be sure about what you are doing now. Help yourself first. I choose my staff to work in ACE because I saw that she did very good job with cleaning. It’s not just a small thing but can effect your life and future.”<br />
<br />
After giving them advice in the Attitude Centre for Education, our trainer Sokchea encouraged them to seek happiness and forgiveness as vital tools for them to communicate better.Sokcheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06477193442603607169noreply@blogger.com2
