History
EC was founded in 2008 by John Mann through The Rotary Club of Beaudesert. John had travelled extensively through Cambodia since 2004 and discovered a remote but heavily populated region of eastern Cambodia. there were no schools. The future for uneducated boys and girls was bleak but for girls it was terrible. John Mann approached his local Rotary club in Australia and the rest is the history that can be read in the site.
Mission
To help thousands of innocent victims of decades of horror in the very best sustainable and accountable ways we can – starting with schools.” Their website states "One person at a time we will help Cambodia. Your dollar genuinely makes a difference in Educating Cambodia. The Rotary Club of Beaudesert can prove that your individual dollar joins others so that together we give Cambodian children choices that their mothers and big sisters never had.”
Opening EducatingCambodia is the officially recognised website of Beaudesert Rotary Club and as such carries The Rotary Wheel within the site banner.This description is from their Facebook page: Currently, June 2011, we have 520 boys in schools and 480 girls in schools. The future for girls,in particular, without an education in rural Cambodia is, as you will read, one of the worst futures in the world.
In July 2011 they had 1000 children being taught across three schools in the Kamchay Mear District of Prey Veng Province.
Three schools serve 12 villages which are the very poorest villages in one of Cambodias poorest Provinces - Prey veng." < Sau Ri - Chief of Police, Don Kong Commune in Kamchay Mear District. >
