🌧️ A little update from our school in Siem Reap…

Our new teacher has settled in brilliantly and is really enjoying working with the children. More importantly, they are loving his teaching style!

He has introduced more games, group activities and practical exercises, making lessons lively and encouraging the children to learn by joining in. Judging by these smiles, it is going down very well. 😊

We are now moving into the full rainy season here in Cambodia. The rain can make travelling to school more difficult, but the cooler temperatures are very welcome and make the classrooms far more comfortable for learning.

It is lovely to see the children so happy, confident and eager to take part. A huge thank you to everyone who supports Passion4Change and helps us give these children access to education. 💛

🌍 World Youth Skills Day

Today is a reminder that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow and dream.

At Passion4Change Foundation, we see the difference that education makes every single day.

Many of the children at our school come from families where opportunities are limited. But with access to education, they're learning far more than reading, writing and English. They're building confidence, developing life skills and creating opportunities that can shape their future.

Every new word they learn, every lesson they complete and every goal they achieve is another step towards a brighter tomorrow.

We believe that investing in young people is one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty. The skills they learn today will help them support their families, strengthen their communities and inspire the next generation.

To everyone who sponsors a child, donates or supports our work, thank you. You're not just funding an education. You're helping young people build futures filled with hope and possibility.

Together, we're creating opportunities that will last a lifetime. ❤️

🌾 Today is World Rural Development Day.

For us, this day is about more than recognising rural communities. It's about recognising their potential.

Every week, we see children in rural Cambodia who are eager to learn, parents who value education, and teachers who do everything they can with the resources they have.

The challenge has never been a lack of ambition. It's a lack of opportunity.

That's why Passion4Change Foundation exists.

A single extra classroom has transformed what education looks like for one rural community. Children who once had just a couple of hours of lessons each day are now able to learn full time. What seems like a small project has changed the future for more than 130 children.

Rural development isn't just about roads or buildings.

It's about education.
It's about healthcare.
It's about giving communities the chance to build a better future for themselves.

Every child deserves that opportunity, no matter where they're born.

Today, we're celebrating the strength, kindness and determination of the rural communities we are privileged to work alongside. They inspire us every single day, and we're proud to play a small part in helping them create brighter futures.

Thank you to everyone who supports our work. Whether you sponsor a child, donate, share our posts or simply follow our journey, you're helping make that future possible. ❤️

📚 A small change that will make a big difference.

Yesterday was an important day for our school.

We welcomed a new teacher to the Passion4Change family, which means that for the first time, both of our classrooms are now led by fully qualified teachers.

When we first became involved with the school, there was just one classroom and around 30 children. Today, we have over 130 students learning every week, and the school has grown beyond anything we imagined.

Our previous second teacher did an incredible job. Although he wasn't formally qualified, he stepped up when the children needed her. He taught with kindness, dedication and a genuine passion to help the students learn. We will always be grateful for everything he has done.

As the school continues to grow, we also have a responsibility to give our students the very best education we can. Having two qualified teachers is another important step forward for the children and for the future of the school.

None of this happens without the support of our sponsors and donors. Every child sponsored, every donation made and every person who shares our story helps create opportunities like this.

Together, we're not just building classrooms.

We're building futures. ❤️

People often think our charity is "just" about education.

Education is at the heart of what we do, but we believe changing lives means looking at the bigger picture.

That's why, alongside supporting our school, we also choose to support other organisations here in Cambodia that are making a real difference.

Every month, Passion4Change donates to Animal Mama, helping them care for sick, injured and abandoned animals, while supporting their work to reduce rabies through vaccination programmes. Healthier animals mean healthier communities, and that's something we believe benefits everyone.

We also continue to support Ning Wan and the incredible team at the Elephant Valley Project, where elephants are allowed to live as elephants, free from riding and exploitation. Protecting Cambodia's wildlife and promoting ethical tourism is something we're proud to stand behind.

For us, charity isn't about doing one thing.

It's about supporting the people and organisations who are making Cambodia a better place, whether that's helping a child into education, caring for a stray dog, or giving an elephant the life it deserves.

We may be a small charity, but by working together and supporting others, we believe we can create a much bigger impact.

Thank you to everyone who supports Passion4Change. Every donation you make helps us not only change lives in our school, but also stand alongside some incredible organisations doing amazing work across Cambodia. ❤️

The Green Season has arrived in Cambodia. 🌿

After months of dust and dry fields, the first rains have started to fall. The countryside is beginning to transform. Rice paddies are filling with water, trees are bursting back into life, and everywhere you look there is a fresh shade of green.

For us, it is one of the most beautiful times of year.

While the weather changes, life at our school carries on as normal. This week our students have been busy learning, laughing, and working hard towards a brighter future.

Sometimes it's easy to focus on the big projects and improvements, but the heart of what we do is right here in these everyday moments. Children turning up eager to learn. Teachers giving their all. Lessons being taught. Futures being built.

As we head deeper into the Green Season, we wanted to share a few photos from this week and give you a glimpse of what your support makes possible every single day.

Thank you for being part of their journey. ❤️

💔 The rains are coming... and that's a problem.

Many of you will remember that during the border crisis we helped provide dignity packs, clothing and other emergency support for displaced Cambodian families.

Today we're asking for your help again.

Since December, thousands of people have been living in temporary camps after being forced to leave their homes near the border. What was meant to be temporary has now stretched into months.

Last week, a friend of ours who works closely with the Provincial Government took us to see one of the camps.

Row after row of tents.

Families trying to build a life while waiting for the day they can finally go home.

The biggest concern right now isn't food.

It isn't electricity.

It's the rainy season.

As the rains arrive, water begins collecting around toilets, washing areas and pathways. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water and the risk of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya increases dramatically.

The solution sounds surprisingly simple.

Gravel.

A truckload costs just $130 to deliver.

That gravel helps drain away standing water and makes these areas safer for the families who use them every day.

Families are also building raised wooden platforms so they can sleep off the ground when flooding occurs.

We've already paid for one truckload of gravel.

Now we'd love to help fund more.

Sometimes making a difference isn't about huge amounts of money.

Sometimes it's about helping stop a puddle becoming a breeding ground for disease.

If you'd like to help us support these families through the months ahead, please send us a message.

As always, we'll keep you updated on exactly where every donation goes.

Thank you for standing with Cambodia when it needs it most. ❤️

Yesterday we were invited to the local pagoda near our school for an important community meeting with the parents of our students.

The village chief spoke first. Then one of the monks addressed the families about something very simple, but incredibly important.

Education.

In rural Cambodia, monks are deeply respected. Their words carry real weight in a way outsiders often can’t.

And the message was clear:
Children need to stay in school if they are going to have opportunities beyond village life.

It really reminded us how different perspectives can be here.

Many families have never travelled outside their local area. They haven’t seen the wider world or the opportunities education can create.

If generations before you worked in the rice fields, struggled financially, and never had access to schooling themselves, it can be difficult to imagine a different future for your children.

That’s why these conversations matter so much.
Not because parents don’t care about their children. They absolutely do.
But sometimes people need help seeing that another path is possible.

A stable job. Independence. Choices. Confidence. A future where their children don’t have to struggle in the same way they did.

Seeing the village leaders, monks, teachers and families all coming together for that shared goal felt really powerful.

Change here happens slowly. But it is happening. ❤️

As a small charity we cannot change the world. In fact sometimes the enormity of the task makes you even wonder is it worth it. But then you have a breakthrough and you realise why you do it. Why we are living here, what it is that drives us every day.

We shared with you the story of Akada and the terrible living conditions. The first part was to get her registered back at school and to get her a bike, within minutes of posting that you kindly came forward and offered support, the bike was bought and she was back at school and so happy.

But the next part was to get a new well, a bathroom, improved living conditions. We were prepared to take it on, we knew with your help we could do something but sometimes you have to realise that our role is not always to do, sometimes it’s to find collaborators and work with them.

We had a meeting with a foundation who help administer our school project. They arranged a meeting with Akida and her family. They discovered unfortunately a story of alcoholism and gambling, the parents were stopping her going to school as they wanted her to stay at home to look after another of their children.

But an agreement was made and signed. If they allowed and encouraged Akada to go to school then they would:
1) support her with everything she needs to continue schooling
2) build a toilet for her family
3) donate a well and water filter
4) build a personal room just for her.

The village chief has also agreed to support and ensure the agreement is stuck to.

The work starts next month.

It’s amazing, we cried, we hugged, we celebrated and it just inspired us to help even more children like Akada.

As always thank you for being part of this journey.

On Tuesday, Akada received her new bike ❤️

Last week she restarted high school, travelling on the back of a friend’s bike just so she could get there. Now she can make the journey herself.

The smile on her face said everything.

For many people, a bike is just a bike. For Akada, it’s freedom. It’s independence. It’s one less barrier standing between her and an education.

We’ve known Akada since the very beginning of our project and watching her continue school despite the challenges she faces makes us incredibly proud.

This feels like the first real stage in helping her become an independent young woman.

Next step… improving her living conditions.

Thank you to everyone supporting these children with us.

You genuinely change lives, one step at a time ❤️
