Yours Humanly has established a stand-alone ESL (English as a Second Language) program in Siem Reap, Cambodia, for children in desperate need of even the bare necessities of life. Here, under the roof of a structure we renovated for this purpose, we offer more than 250 severely impoverished children the opportunity to learn English through structured English classes with qualified English instructors and age-appropriate books and learning material. Once the children complete the multi-year program, funded and operated solely by Yours Humanly, they will be able to communicate in English—reading, writing, and speaking—giving them a bilingual advantage in an increasingly competitive and hi-tech world where English is the most widely spoken language.
Classes are offered twice a week, Saturdays and Sundays, 5–7pm, throughout the year (except for two national holidays). This is all voluntary on the part of the students—and the good news is, the classes are full! The children of this impoverished area are eager to learn English, eager for new books and instruction, and eager to join siblings and friends on this adventure in a nurturing and supportive environment. You can feel the energy and excitement—you can see their paths brightened. View photos.
Your generous donations made this opportunity come true for these children, and by extension, their families and communities. Please help us continue to provide ESL education to children in need by donating today and supporting programs such as this one, made possible through our Coloring Futures initiative.
