The Joy of Learning as the Goal
In Cambodia, F2F takes children too poor to attend public school and offers them absolutely free education. At the same time, we encourage parents and guardians to see that having their children remain in school is good for the family in the long run. Rather than selecting only the best students with top grades, our goal is to instill a joy of learning and discovery and a sense of responsibility in each child.
