Funds for the construction of school building at Buffalo village

Dear reader,

The LawrenceRosa Memorial School at Buffalo village has been reopened by the beginning of this month after two months’ summer break with 25 new students joining the school, totalling 170 students. Well, that’s a lot of students from a small village, right? The reason is that LawrenceRosa Memorial School (LRMS) is the only school in this village. The old school at the village has been closed down when LRMS was opened about 6 years ago. Besides, more families from another villages are moving into this village with houses coming up around the school compound.

The government of Cambodia has given the permission to SLM to upgrade the standard of the school to Higher Secondary level at the village and we have upgraded one more class this year. We have also appointed one more teacher, beginning from this year. Please continue to pray for the parents, teachers, and the students at the school. The students are showing lots of improvement in their life style, education, and social life. Many students at this school have also been baptized along with their parents. They’re growing in their spiritual life, too.

Mr. Polly and the teaching staffs at the LWMS are doing a great job. Life at the village is difficult as there’s not even electricity at the village. The salary is low and but their work load is heavy. Yet they have been working so hard for the sake of the LORD and the villagers.

Mr. Gil Hoelzer and the members of the West Layton AG church have been doing a good job ever since the inception of this school by sponsoring all the children at the school (uniform, textbooks, school material, teachers’ salary, construction of the school building and all other school related programs in the village. The parents are so happy to the sponsors, teachers, and SLM for teaching their children and making their lives more meaningful. They chief of the village said, “There are many changes happening at the village because of the school.” Please continue to pray for the villagers.

SLM has a plan for the construction of a larger school building at this village. As the village is enlarging, more children are born, the students increase in number year by year, and classes are upgrading, the present school building has become too small to accommodate all the students, office room and teachers’ room. Therefore, SLM is coming up with a $39.000.00 (Thirty nine thousand US dollars) which is expected to begin by the beginning of next year. Mr. Gil and I are jointly raising funds for the construction of this school building. Therefore, I would like to request all readers to kindly pray and give towards this project. As the Bible says, it is more blessed to give than to receive, may the good LORD continue to bless all the givers, even hundred times more than what you give.

See you soon!

 

Rev. Jonah Amer (Director, SLM)
