About This Project:
The Internet has a wealth of language videos, programs, and research material for both the teachers and the students at the Sandan and Phum Thnal schools in northern Cambodia.  Most of the students — here and in the entire province — will not continue in school past 8th grade due to economic push factors and the pending need to support the family.  So, English lessons received in 3rd grade through middle school are critical to prepare them for the workforce, and bilingual skills are a major determining factor in the pay scale in this high tourism area.  The purpose of this project is to provide the tools to potentially accelerate or strengthen the students’ interaction in English, thereby strengthening their earning potential.
