Village Pre-School Learning Centre in Rural Cambodia

Overview
Still reccovering from trhee decades of conflict, Cambodia remains one of the poorest nations inthe world, not only economically but also spiritually.

The Need
The Province Kamping Speu, 1.5 hours from Phnom Penh is a palce of tragedy for many young mothers whohave not alternative care for their children while workingin the flooded paddy fields. Toddlers are left to roam the wafer -thin edges of the the waterlooged paddy field unattended and unsupervised. Each year the raining season commences in July bringing with it flooding and a cycle of tragedy as many of these children fall into the water and drown.

MTI Cambodia is providing an answer in one such provincial town.. Kra Noung village in Kampong Speu province. A Pre-school Learning Centre is springing up in Kra Nhoung Village where Sonn a long time daughter of the village grew up. Sonn was 12 when the Khmer Rouge forced her family to separate. She become a Christian after this dark period in her life and after having worked for a partner Mission organization, she wants to now take the message of Gods love back to her many family members, relatives and village friends.
She also has a Dream that the other sons and daughters of the village, still young and needing nurturing and protecting, will survive the floods and live to take their place in Khmer society.
Sonn wants to create a haven, a place of refuge for the toddlers and many pre-school children who are at risk as their mothers tend the fields.
MTI Cambodia wants to make both dreams come true. Along with the Pre-school centre where young children will be freely welcomed, MTI workers will offer Parenting classes, child health lessons, education training,and Bible studies which will become a regular part of this Child Learning centre to help turn Kra Nhoung Village back into a joyful place, a Field of Harvest.
