Early wake up
At 2am during a large storm, this tree fell on a girls dormitory. Three girls were injured and taken to hospital, one was detained overnight. Teachers were called and help move the remaining girls to another dormitory or put them up in the houses. Teachers have more than just teaching to do at our schools.

This is the road through our village of Kampong Chheuteal. It’s around 8am. There is not a lot of traffic because school starts at 7am. This road passes the temples of Sambor Prei Kuk to the village temple to the school.

The forest
The forests around Sambor Prei Kuk are peaceful and provide an ideal place for a stroll. They were only cleared of mines a few years ago. They were left behind by the Viet Cong and Americans in the 1970’s. You can still see bullet holes on the temples.

Small networking equipment
The school networks we have seen so far are open and not secure with limited networking equipment. For around $1,500 / £1,200 we can improve the resilience and security of a school network. This will give a base to expanding the networking in a school. They are a long way from a computer in a

Teacher Training
