Soeun Children Center (SCC)

Soeun Children Center (SCC) is located in Chres village, Phnom Penh Thmei commune, and Russei Keo district, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Presently, there are 42 abandoned orphans and impoverished children living on-site  at the the SCC orphanage. We provide shelter, food, clothing, health care, and education to them. They all attend public school for national education: reading, writing and arithmetic.
In addition, they are taught English and computer skill in the center by our volunteer staff from abroad. And they are taught social issues and some survival skills by SCC staff.
 

Soeun Children Center (SCC) consists of three buildings: the girls dormitory, the boys dormitory with one classroom, and the kitchen. SCC was originally built with bamboo and grass roofs, Unfortunately, the center cannot withstand the weathe more than 12 months, before it has to be rebuilt. In June 2006, SCC built one cement building for the girls dormitory with 7 meters by 12 meters and two levels. But the boys dormitory remains the same because we don’t have enough funds to rebuild it. In March 2007, we started to build the boys dormitory. We  initially constructed 4 meters by 7 meters.

This is the original Girls’ Dormitory. It is 7m by 12m, built with bamboo and grass roofs. But this building now is already replaced by the new cement building.

This is the kitchen. It is 5.5m by 14m, built with bamboo and grass roof. Now it is in a very bad shape. The roof is ruined and leaking rain water. We need to rebuild this kitchen soon as possible because when it rains the children don’t have place to eat. We would like to ask for your kind support to help us to rebuild this kitchen.

This is the school for the English training classes.
This school is 5.5m by 12m. It is like the kitchen, built from bamboo and grass roof, which is now also in bad shape. The roof is broken and leaking rain. The children cannot attend English class whenever it rains. After it rains hard, the ground is flooded and muddy for at least a few days before it is dry enough for the English classes to resume.. We would like to ask for your support to rebuild this classroom for the children.

In june 2006, we built a girls dormitory. The first wing sponsored was by Mr. Jeff Parry and family.  the second wing was sponsored by Mr. Bo Pheng with his team. the first floor of the third wing was sponsored by Mrs. Pen Jenny and Mrs. Pov Bon Ratha, and the second floor sponsored by generous people in San Bernardino, California. Now the girls don’t have to worry about sleeping in the rain anymore.
