Program Highlights

Daily, tuition-free English classes for children in villages in the Phnom Samkos buffer zone
A conversational, practical curriculum — focused on real communication over rote grammar drills, built for kids who may eventually use English with tourists, traders, NGO partners.
Working inside communities GSO already has deep relationships with — where locals are helping to protect thousands of hectares of Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary.
