Results

The construction of the elementary and the sewing schools in Ta Prum is finished, thank to the Nando Peretti Foundation's grant. The schools started their ordinary activities since the end of November 2001, but the official opening has been celebrated on February 7, 2002 at the presence of the Governor of the Province and the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The first success is that people living in the six villages around are sending all their children to school, instead of under the trees as they were used to do. The primary school accommodates 1621 children (750 are girls and 881 are boys).
