Hi again,

We are coming to the end of our 5th week at NFC and have begun scheduling university visits for the students in grade 11 or 12. On Wednesday 3rd August we visited Pannasastra University with 5 other students and we were welcomed by the Dean of the business school and Mak Vann, the director of education at the University. After a quick question and answer session with the professors, we received a tour of the facilities at the University. All loan applications were completed by the 5th August for the 3 students expecting to attend University later this year, we hope they will all be approved. Jess has managed to secure a translation company for the University Guide, so the guide will be completed by next Wednesday. During this whole week we have been teaching English twice a day as the German volunteer who usually teaches has now left Cambodia. On Tuesday 9th Anna presented her workshop, Budgeting, to the students at NFC. They seemed to benefit from this greatly and were able to calculate the case studies with ease. We have also begun interviewing Midway House students about what they are doing now and whether they are enjoying their University course. 

Will keep you updated

Hi,

This is Tam, we are currently in our 4th week at NFC and have delivered a number of workshops in the past week. On the 26th July Anna and I visited Cambodian Children's Fund and presented the CV and Interview workshop twice to different groups of students. On the 30th July, all four of us went to ACE and after we gave our workshops to the students there, we visited one of their projects in a slum, which was very eye opening. Our final workshop of the trip will be held this Thursday, which will be budgeting for the older students at NFC. Jess has been emailing companies regarding work experience for some of the students at NFC. This week we should finish the University Guide and begin printing and distributing it, while completing the loan application forms for the 3 students who are attending University later this year. 

That's all for the past week, we will keep you updated.
