A HEART FOR WISDOM

Our Mission in Education

We desire to fill a need for a better school system in our Province of Takeo, Cambodia. To better educate the children at A Greater Hope Orphanage is our first goal, educating the surrounding the children is our second goal, changing our community and country final goal. Our teaching starts with understanding that "Fearing the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, only fools despise wisdom and discipline". "Then you will understand what is Right and Just and Fair". "For Wisdom will enter your heart".

We'll strive for a pure teaching with high moral standards that will give our children A HEART FOR WISDOM

A Couple Weeks In

 Class Room A



 First day of school.


School normally opens a couple days before really large holiday.  So things looked a little bleak when only 3 children showed up.   After the holiday we got a lot more kids.
Today we are starting our second week of class and we have 10 kids enrolled.
   
I think this really helps our goals of having smarter more successful class that will make a good first impression.  It's really the families happiness with what we are doing that will decide if we continue.
 For if we can get the community to buzz with praise and excitement I think we will have done a good job.
The encouraging thing for us was when Ream's sister in-law told us she only started her first class with only 5 kids.  She charged half the cost and in a place they could afford the cost.  
Now MoM's school is enrolling 400 children @ $60 a month.

Most importantly we still feel called to move forward.

We will take class photos soon I will try and post them.
Thank you for your prayers.
Kit and Ream
