Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide continuous, high quality English education and other sustainability services to the underserved in rural Cambodia, as well as to nurture and transform hearts of all involved.
Free English lessons: Daily English classes were provided to 2400 students in 7 rural Cambodian villages (Banan, Jeepan,Kampong Puoy, Rattinak, Roka, Samlot, Samrang). In addition English training was provided to all 39 local teaching staff. Approximately 800 unpaid international volunteers participated in helping teach writing, reading, listening, speaking, grammar and phonics.
Food and medical aid: Approximately 3000 families (about 6,300 individuals) were provided rice. Many also were provided additional food - canned fish, fish sauce and soy sauce. The scale was about 4x that of a normal year due to extreme conditions brought on by COVID, a prolonged drought, then a sudden flood. In addition, 10 persons were given medical aid. Early in the year some of the sick were able to receive treatment in Thailand. But after the border got closed due to COVID, treatment was provided only within Cambodia. TASSEL teachers took the sick to appropriate medical centers and paid for their hospital bills as well as travel and meal expenses. All persons who received food and medical aid were screened carefully through family visits.
Children and family sponsorships: 41 families (160 persons) were provided monthly cash support by specific sponsors. Cash was hand-delivered monthly and pictures of the each delivery were provided to each sponsoring donor. Some sponsors also provided cash to local carpenters and food vendors so that shelter (for those with no houses) could be built and extra food provided to specific families.
