JB School

Warm greetings from Cambodia. I hope you and your family are doing well. As we approach the end of 2025, I would also like to extend my warmest seasonal greetings to you and your loved ones.

I’m writing to share an update about JB School and to reach out for your support as our community moves through an important period of development. As you may know, the government recently completed a new road through our village. This project has brought many positive changes for local families—safer travel during the rainy season, easier access to markets and health services, and shorter transport times for students attending public school in nearby areas. The road has already helped the community feel more connected and opened new opportunities for work and trade that were previously difficult to reach.

As part of the planned construction, two of our JB School classrooms had to be removed to make way for the road. While we welcome the wider benefits this infrastructure provides, the loss of these classrooms has placed significant strain on our teaching space. With more than 400 children attending JB School every day for their English and computer lessons, rebuilding these classrooms is essential if we are to continue providing a safe, accessible, and effective learning environment.

For many of our students, this free education is their only opportunity to learn English and computer skills. These are the skills that open doors: to jobs in tourism, to higher education, and to opportunities that can lift entire families out of poverty. JB School gives young people a sense of possibility and confidence in their future, and your support plays an important role in sustaining that hope.

Alongside the rebuilding effort, we continue to operate on a monthly budget of USD 1,500, which covers teacher salaries, utilities, and essential learning materials. Meeting this amount each month remains a challenge, and your contribution—whether toward our operating costs or the classroom reconstruction—would make an immediate and meaningful difference.

I will keep you updated on our progress and on the work your support makes possible. Thank you once again for your kindness and for being part of the JB School community. I wish you and your family a joyful holiday season and a happy, healthy start to 2026.

With warm regards and sincere appreciation,
Chamroeun Sok (Mr. JB)

The asphalt road has been built, is wide and beautiful, and doesn't flood like before, and it's not dusty anymore.

And the JB School grounds are also clean. It really helps the environment and the health of the local people.

Especially helping to promote the natural tourism sector of the Kampong Phluk community (stilt house village, Tonle Sap Lake).

All the people in the region are very happy for the state's asphalt road achievements.

All of us, the people of Prasat Bakong District, would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Royal Government of Cambodia for providing us with a 16-kilometre-long, comfortable road this year as a gift for the year 2025.

Some of the students' activities: when they leave JB School, they return home before the government builds a new road. Some ride bicycles to school; some walk to school. They come because they want to learn, to gain English and computer skills for their future jobs and current and future market needs, which are indispensable skills for international relations.

We demolishedtwo old classrooms, and we kept two more for students to continue learning, which we built in 2013 before the state built a new road.

JB School was established in 2013, and until now, in 2025, we continue our mission. By teaching general English, computer skills, and sports.

We are planning to build a new classroom at the back of our school grounds.

Greetings from JB school! We hope everyone are doing well.

Today, I’m writing to share something very close to my heart —my life’s mission and the story of JB School, a place that has become a place of hope for children in our community of Meanchey.

I founded JB School in 2013 to provide free English and computer literacy classes to local children in Meanchey, Siem Reap Province. When I first set up the school, I would teach 150 children in the area next to my parents’ house. Today, JB School has grown, and we now offer daily lessons to more than 400 children. Most of them come from farming families living well below the poverty line. They attend our school after their regular classes, and since 2013, JB School has been able to provide free education to over 4,500 students.

Growing up in this very community under difficult circumstances, I understand the transformative power of education. As a child, I walked many kilometers to school every day, sometimes wading through floodwaters with my books on my head. Despite the challenges of post-war Cambodia, I achieved my dream of learning English, and becoming a tour guide in 2003. JB School was born from my desire to give back to the community that raised me and to help the next generation realize their own dreams.

That’s why I am reaching out to see if you would consider supporting JB School. Your generosity and support can help ensure that these children continue to have a place where they can grow, learn, and dream.

Operating the school requires a monthly budget of $1,530 and meeting this budget each month is a significant challenge.

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether it’s funding a teacher’s salary, covering electricity bills, or providing notebooks for our students, your kindness can directly shape the future of a child.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering being a part of our journey. Your friendship and support mean the world to me, and I hope we can work together to bring hope and opportunity to the children of JB School.

With gratitude and warm regards,
Chamroeun Sok (Mr. JB)

The government completed the construction of the new asphalt road in July 2025.

In July 2025, the new asphalt road was completed by the government in our hometown. From National Road No. 6, head towards Kompong Phluk Commune, Bakong District, Siem Reap Province, which is 11 km length. The road is wide and clean, not flooded, not dusty in dry seasons, and not slippery during the rainy season anymore. And there is a drainage system.

Thank you very much to the Royal Government of Cambodia for building this new road for us.

The people in this area are very excited and happy with the new asphalt road.
