DBCF - Crossing Over Newslegacy

“Reading Empowers” in Don Bosco Literacy Centers-Battambang

Don Bosco Children Fund supervises two Don Bosco Literacy Centers in Battambang since 2000. The objective of the  Literacy Centers is “Every Child, a Reader Program”, to focus on the development of the out-of-school children, aged 10-15 to be mentally, psychologically and physically capable to learn the basic knowledge (reading, writing, speaking, listening, arithmetic and social studies) of elementary education in a three-year intensive schooling through a “School Based Management”.

On July 20, 2007, fifty students were certified and qualified for school year 2007-2008 in the government schools. These certificates were approved by Cambodia’s Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. 

Equal Opportunities for Education

DBCF coordinates the construction of a Village Elementary School “Koh Rokar” in the spirit of “Education for all”. Holland’s Scholenproject has supported this building a six-classroom and health facilities for the elementary school at the village in Kompong Cham Province under the pastoral activity of Fr. Gerard Vogin, MEP.  

REPAIR WORKS FOR THE DBCF NEW OFFICES AND SECRETARIAT: AUGUST 7 TO SEPTEMBER 16

DBCF staff, teachers and students of the Technical School showed their teamwork to make the “old place , new” by cleaning, refurnishing and painting the buildings and fences of the center that will be called the “AUXILIUM HAUS”. One building serves  as the school’s show room for marketing, productions and services.
