Russey Chroy Computer Lab

The Russey Chroy School is located in the Kandal Province of Cambodia, about 22 km from the Cambodia's capital - Phnom Penh. It has 22 staff members are dedicated to providing poor rural Cambodian children with a decent education.

On Saturday, August 28, 2010 the Computer Lab opened for 144 Russey Chroy students. The computer lab features 10 energy efficient computers, a laser printer, and more learning opportunities for the students and teachers. They will be receiving Internet access as soon as more funds are raised.

You can help by giving these kids the ability to access information with just a click. You can help them develop their curious minds. You can enable them to communicate with other children from other parts of the world, giving them an opportunity they normally would never have.

And, since the lab will be powered by solar panels, these kids will gain an appreciation of sustainability and clean, renewable energy.

Donations will help pay for:

• Solar panels (Approx. $9360 for a complete tri-crystalline solar panel system)
• Internet connection for 10 years (Appox. $1044 per yer)
• Maintenance for 10 years

Who Am I?

My name is Noreen Neal, and I was born and raised just outside West Philadelphia. I attend Bryn Mawr College. I started this project in my junior year when I joined a program called Champions of Caring (www.championsofcaring.org), that helps high school students start their own service projects.

I came into the program knowing that I wanted to help Cambodia after hearing my family’s stories about the horrors of the Khmer Rouge Genocide. Even 30 years after the war, Cambodia is still a developing country full of corruption and problems that affect the next generation.

I chose to work with Cambodia Education Excellence Foundation (www.ceefoundation.org) because their focus was giving Cambodian students a better quality of life through education. Many problems in Cambodia stem from the poor quality of education, leading many students back into the corrupted cycle which prohibits Cambodia to move forward.

With the right education, students will have more opportunities and see that they can help change their homeland, Cambodia.

I wish I could convey to you how much any contribution, monetary or otherwise, would be appreciated by these kids.
