Friday, December 4th, 2020: Her Excellency Chea Serey, Founder of Raksa Koma Foundation, made a $25,000 donation to Teach For Cambodia (TFC) to help keep their operations afloat while the pandemic has been placing serious strain on their finances. TFC is a local organization that have helped improve the education quality of tens of thousands of students in Cambodia, particularly those in rural needy schools, and contributed to the education sector in various other ways.
During the event, Her Excellency Chea Serey talked about the importance of the education sector and the need to come together for the various actors in this sector since this is a sector that has been heavily impacted by the pandemic.
“The education sector has been severely impacted by the pandemic. In school year 2019-2020, students lost many hundred hours of formal learning in school. At the same time, distant learning is still limited in many ways. As such, TFC and their Fellow teachers play an important role to help students self-study and study remotely, particularly the students in remote and needy schools, which are the target beneficiary of the organization.” said Her Excellency Chea Serey.
Mr. Siv Monirath, Founder & CEO of Teach For Cambodia, expressed his deepest gratitudes to Her Excellency and Raksa Koma Foundation for this valuable donation to help the organization as well as its members and students get through this challenging time.
