Enkosa River School's vision and project

WELCOME FRIENDS

ENKOSA RIVER SCHOOL

We are all very happy to welcome you all to Enkosa River School, Enkosa Buddhist Pagoda, Siem Reap.

The School is for ALL local children, teenagers and adults completely free of charge.

They come to lessons 5 days a week to learn and improve their foreign language skills...mainly the English Language...to give them better opportunities of a good job in tourism in the future here or maybe work or study abroad.

1.        THE SCHOOL

Opened in November 2010 and currently has 8 classes nightly and around 150 regular happy students

ranging from 3 years of age to 30!

We employ 3 Part Time Khmer Teachers on a modest salary and rely on volunteer native speakers...now 100 per cent English Native Speakers , usually students who stay a week or two or sometimes fully qualified teachers who have some free time who live in Siem Reap.

Educating the students in a mature, interesting and fun way.

We receive no funding from either the Cambodian Goverment nor the Local Siem Reap Administration or any NGO's.

We TOTALLY 100% rely on donations, mainly small donations from tourists who visit the Pagoda on their way back from Angkor Wat and some small donations from mainly good hearted individuals from overseas.

We ALWAYS in NEED of DONATIONS either, financial assistance for the everyday running costs ( e.g.   electricity, computer and internet access for knowledge and lesson plans, water for the children, marker pens, ink printer,books, pencils, crayons, first aid supplies, etc etc) and volunteer helpers time.

Currently our monthly running costs are roughly 270 US Dollars.

This breaks down as such:

3 khmer Part Time Trainer Teachers Salaries $30 each......$90

Electricity..Internet Access Printer Ink PC's ...... $80..

water, marker pens ink paper  exercise books etc...$70

Emergency Monies...Repairs First Aid Supplies..Possible sickness of a pupil or volunteer etc... $30 …This budget needs at least doubling as a recent event in the emergency treatment and hospitalization of one of our regular and more experienced volunteers, high lighted a problem that needs addressing..Thankfully he is back with us Teaching and helping train volunteers and some development work.

 THE School Moving Forward

We have put our  TRUST IN BUDDHA , to help us improve the facilities here for our beloved Children and Students.

Although they receive  a very good basic and beyond education in a safe, friendly, loving environment, truthfully our class rooms are totally inadequate especially in the monsoon season, where classes could only take place on dry evenings last year.
