Chum Kriel Language School and Anglungkuki Community School
Lyn and John spend several months in Kampot each year and find numerous ways to make a difference in the lives of poor families in communities in and around Kampot.
The pictures give a flavour of some of those stories. Follow the unfolding work on the Facebook group; 'Lyn and John Quilty - Cambodia volunteering'.
Hopefully we will be able to work their projects into our visit next July.

From August through to December 2018 Lyn and John have been in Kampot assisting with the building of a new classroom for the Anglungkuki Community School.

ANLUNGKUKI UPDATE- more photos received from Kret Sok today. To our generous supporters, look what your donations are helping to achieve. This is going to be a great school that will serve hundreds of children for many years to come. We will go up to check on the progress again next week, taking with us our youngest daughter, Kate. She arrives on Monday night and we are excited to show her the work we have been doing and to introduce her to our Khmer friends.

Sok sent me some photos of building activities at Anlungkuki. Outside walls are being rendered, with the students assisting by sifting the sand. John is on his way to Anlungkuki now, facing a rough and now dusty road where visibility is poor. Once the wet season ends and the mud dries up there is a dramatic change in the conditions.

A visit to Anlungkuki today to check on the school building. It’s progressing steadily and, though it won’t be finished before we leave Cambodia, every step of its construction is under the watchful eye of our old friend Kret Sok. So we’ve every confidence the finished product will be a “quality item”.
The road to Anlungkuki is an absolute nightmare, but the enthusiastic welcome on arrival by a multitude of children makes every inch of the journey worth the effort! They brim with warmth and enthusiasm for we “barangs”. And no sooner had I settled with a refreshing drink in the little school café than I was joined by children keen to read to me from their “Beginner English” books. The hunger of these children for learning is truly inspiring!

Another tough day at the salt fields school (Anglungkuki Community School). The parents of the children have not had work for many weeks, some are alcoholic and gamblers. Life is full of violence and despair.
The children live in a tough environment. This is reflected in their behaviour in class.
As well, we had rain and wind which disrupts any activities we are doing. The room leaks, the wind blows through the gaps in the wall, it is dark inside as there is no electricity. But somehow the Khmer teacher , Penh, and I keep teaching . We want to bring some joy and hope for the future into the lives of these most deprived children.
