This year we welcomed about 50 girls and boys between the ages of three and four. 50 children whose prospects for the future improved dramatically from one day to the next. Having just been condemned to a life of poverty and hopelessness, the chance of a self-determined, better future increases dramatically when they pass the school aptitude test. For the children, but also for the parents, who now know exactly how important education is in impoverished Cambodia. We have seen this in countless conversations with them. And we can also see it in the attendance rate of our school, which is 98,6% and thus more than 50% higher than that of the state schools. That’s good.
