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 Boys’ Dormitory. It is 7m by 12m, built with bamboo
and grass roofs. The boy dormitory is very old and needs to be
repaired. All the boys are sleeping in the bunk beds with mosquito
nets. When it rains they can’t sleep because the roof
leak
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.
In March 2007 we started to build the first wing of the boys
dormitory. It is 4m by 7m. The first floor is sponsored by Mrs. Kimly Hou and
her family. The second floor is sponsored by Mrs.
Karen Engly and family.
One room costs $1000. One wing with 4 rooms and two stories
costs $4000 to be built.
Please help us to build the boy dormitory. We need to build two
more wings for the boys.
