High School.

“I have improved a lot since I got this scholarship

and I feel delight to meet the news scholars.

I committed myself to study hard and never let the donor down. ”

Heng Srey Reath

The youngest scholar among our 2nd generation. She is in grade 10 of Pouk High School. “Before I got this scholarship, I have to work part time beside school to support my study, people hired me to do the washing, cleaning and I did everything if it’s legal just to get money. I never think that I have today but this is actually what I was dreaming about. Thanks Childs Dream to make it comes true. Finally, I would like to express my willing and commitment that I will keep up my hard working, try my best to be an outstanding student.”

The DOE from Pouk District felt really impress with what he has seen and heard today!

Mr. Sou Sarat, DOE from Pouk District

“This is a special day for everyone. Students, you are so lucky to get this scholarship and continue to high school. Your parents are happy too.”

“I’m actually feel impress with what you have done and have been trying so hard to achieve today.

Please continue your hard work and your future will be brighter.”

This is the time to sign the contract, but don’t do it now!

You only sign it after you have read and agree to the terms and conditions in this contract.

Be careful, this year will be more serious! If you cannot get 40 grade points for 3 months, then your scholarship is also finished. Please remember also if you don’t send your report to us on time, we will not transfer you any money as well.

Finally, they all agree and sign...

The school principle is signing on the contract after students and their parent’s signed.

I have 18 of them to sign so I must do it quickly. It’s 11Am now, I feel hungry as I did not have any breakfast.
