From inviting amazing guests to sharing our story, friends of Kep International School who live in Quebec, Canada successfully organized a well-attended dinner party to support our 1234Kids community scholarship fund. They raised over USD $7,140 to support hard-working and deserving students who want to achieve a quality education. We are thankful for everyone who helped organize the event and for every guest who attended the event. Thank you for making a difference for our students! 

We are very proud of everything our students accomplished this year. The second annual Kep International School Recognition Day celebrated these accomplishments with certificates, awards, dance performances, and music performances. Thank you to all of the community members and parents who attended this event to celebrate the achievements of our students. The photo album for this event is posted on the Kep International School Facebook page. 

The library at Kep International School is expanding. We received a generous donation of 100 books from Biblionef, an organization that delivers books to schools located far away from libraries. The students are very motivated to read. As a result of this book delivery, the children have been reading about many new topics in science and history. We also now have a system for students to take books home to read with their parents. Thank you to Biblionef for your donation! 

Kindergarten students at Kep International School thrive in a nurturing environment focused on learning to care for themselves, each other, their education, and the environment. Their active day includes a combination of didactic, educational, and recreational activities within a joyful space of learning.

At our school, we consider it to be very important to engage the students’ families in the learning process. Learning extends outside of the classroom as the children practice healthy values through their family environment, interaction with their peers, and learning life skills.

Located remotely from Cambodia's central metropolitan areas, Kep does not have a central water system. As a result, one of our greatest challenges at Kep International School has been maintaining a consistent water supply. 

Last month, we successfully drilled a well on our grounds to supply water to our school. Currently, we are developing a water purification system for drinking water. As part of our leadership and ecology initiatives, we look forward to equipping our students with water systems knowledge so that they have the skills to innovate for their communities in this area. 

Thank you to our donors who have contributed toward these efforts: Claes and Inger Erixzon, Chris and Noel Gale, and Richard Jones. Obtaining a consistent water supply was a crucial accomplishment for our school facilities and we are thankful for the generous support. 

Kep International School welcomed supporters Chris and Danielle, who fund a full student scholarship. 

During their visit to Kep, Chris and Danielle visited Kep International School to meet the child they support with a full scholarship. After a tour of our school, they spent time getting to know the student they support and encouraged her efforts to achieve educational goals. 

On behalf of Kep International School, thank you very much for coming to visit.
