Chumkriel Language School (CLS)
Project information
The school is co-located with the Chumkriel government primary school. Around 250 students move through CLS, learning English, Khmer and Maths.
The school serves the students and families who live on or around the salt fields south of Kampot town (picture shows salt fields students arriving on CLS truck).

It is a Khmer-run NGO, and has become a vehicle for high-quality English teaching, modelling of life skills, including gardening, and sustainable environmental habits such as plastic pollution reduction.
Without CLS the 250 students would lose a powerful force for ensuring their education can deliver in lifting their families out of poverty.

Salt Fields School
To make it more likely students from the salt fields would start their education as early as possible, CLS set up a classroom (below left) in the middle of the salt fields, where workers come and have lunch.
Thanks to funds raised this classroom now has a roof, desks, a concrete play area, some reading material AND a teacher (salary now funded by Perth volunteers). Existing classroom (below right)
