About Us
The Begining
In 2010, Pagna began teaching free English classes to the children in Kampong Phluk.
I believe every child should have the opportunity to learn English and to get an education, as this can lead to living a more prosperous life.
Srey Sambo (Pagna) Co-Founder and Director
By learning English, the children can secure jobs in fields like the tourism and hospitality industry, therefore lifting themselves out of poverty.
When Pagna began, he had no school to teach in, so he taught in his house during the wet season and under his house during the dry season.
Thanks to the generosity of tourists passing by, he was able to supply pencils and notebooks to the children.
Eventually, a whiteboard, some desks and chairs were donated.
Today, over 320 children are taught English at the PCEF English language school in Kampong Phluk with seven classes per day, five days per week.
In December of 2013, a new school opened in Lvea Village at the request of the villagers. Lvea Village is Pagna’s hometown. He was born and raised in this farming community set amid beautiful rice paddies stretching as far as the eye can see. In the beginning, the children were taught in Pagna’s father’s house while he tried to raise enough funds to build a small school. Thanks to many wonderful donors, we were able to do it! The new school was built in May of 2014 and we are now teaching more than 450 students from five surrounding villages.
In addition to building the English language school, our goal is to also teach the rest of the community which will benefit the community as a whole rather than just the children. We believe that by offering assistance to family units rather than individual children we can provide a more sustainable way out of poverty.
If you share our vision and would like to help us and the children of Lvea Village and Kampong Phluk Commune, please visit the wishlist.

I teach English language at the school. I have 7 people in my family. My father’s name is Senn, and he’s a fisherman, (passed away). My mother’s name is Sormbou, and she’s also works a fisher. She’s 62 years old. In fact I am from a fisherman family and I have one brother who is fisher and two sisters who are fishers also, and one younger sister, she is also an English teacher.
