After a visit to a school in Cambodia this past winter, my family decided to collect books and supplies for the Savong School in Siem Reap. This is a school that provides free education in a country that charges children to go to the public school, something we take for granted. While the school is functioning with teachers and shelter, there were only scarce supplies and books available. We asked St. Bernard's High School and the communities of Townsend and Ashby for their help in collecting supplies that we could mail over to the school. The response was incredible! We received donations of over 30 boxes of books and school supplies that will be mailed out this week!
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the students, teachers, and families that contributed to this special project. We also would like to give a special thank you to Pat King of Doody's Animal Shelter, who was instrumental in helping with this effort. The gift of education is needed all over the world, and although we can't change the world, your donations helped improve a small part of it! Thank you so very much!

Hi Quill Family! Thanks for the books - Savong's School now has a library which was under construction when you visited, and the school now has a growing collection of books which are very popular with local students - enrolments at the school have gone up.
