Greetings from Cambodia! I hope you and your family are doing well. It was a real pleasure being your tour guide in Cambodia and a privilege to share the history, culture, and heritage of Cambodia with you.
Today, I’m writing to share something very close to my heart—my life’s mission and the story of JB School, a place that has become a place of hope for children in our community of Meanchey.
I founded JB School in 2013 to provide free English and computer literacy classes to local children in Meanchey, Siem Reap Province. When I first set up the school, I would teach 150 children in the area next to my parents’ house. Today, JB School has grown, and we now offer daily lessons to more than 400 children. Most of them come from farming families living well below the poverty line. They attend our school after their regular classes, and since 2013, JB School has been able to provide free education to over 4,500 students.
Growing up in this very community under difficult circumstances, I understand the transformative power of education. As a child, I walked many kilometers to school every day, sometimes wading through floodwaters with my books on my head. Despite the challenges of post-war Cambodia, I achieved my dream of learning English and becoming a tour guide in 2003. JB School was born from my desire to give back to the community that raised me and to help the next generation realize their own dreams.
That’s why I am reaching out to see if you would consider supporting JB School. Your generosity and support can help ensure that these children continue to have a place where they can grow, learn, and dream.
Operating the school requires a monthly budget of $1,530, and meeting this budget each month is a significant challenge.
Every contribution makes a difference. Whether it’s funding a teacher’s salary, covering electricity bills, or providing notebooks for our students, your kindness can directly shape the future of a child.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering being a part of our journey. Your friendship and support mean the world to me, and I hope we can work together to bring hope and opportunity to the children of JB School.
With gratitude and warm regards,
Chamroeun Sok (Mr. JB)
