Chumkriel Language School and ​Anglungkuki Community School​

Lyn and John Quilty are our contacts with Chumkriel Language School  (CLS) and Anglungkuki Community School.  Before COVID they would 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.

At present they are still helping from afar - using online tools for lessons and communication with staff and students.  Follow their unfolding work on the Facebook group; 'Lyn and John Quilty - Cambodia volunteering'.

Our team has also been contributing to their projects over the last couple of years.

Chumkriel Language School

Updated Description from Lyn and John Quilty - Cambodia Volunteering Facebook Page - 25 Nov 2021

We have been volunteering with a Khmer run NGO, Chumkriel Language School (CLS), since 2014. This organisation serves the impoverished rural community of Chumkriel and its neighbourhood. For four months each year Lyn teaches children and trains Khmer teachers and John undertakes community projects and assists with administration.

Covid has prevented our return since April 2020, but we continue to work closely with CLS via Zoom, email and Messenger. We have no administration costs: every cent we receive is used for projects to assist the Chumkriel school and community.

Donations can be made to our dedicated account in the name of:
​
J A Quilty, BSB 306-060, A/c no: 0701028.

Our team would like to continue to assist Lyn and John in some upcoming projects for Chumkriel Language School in 2022.

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!
