Continuous improvements were made on the campus.  A new reading shelter was built to provide a place for both teachers and students to rest, read, and cool off from the sun in an outdoor setting.  The campus was made safer by leveling up the dirt to help protect the grounds from floods, installing beautiful, tile floors in the classrooms, finishing a concrete road from the entrance to the classroom to ensure a safe walk to school, and concluding the installation of the base to showcase the animal statues representing the Khmer animal years.  Besides the annual books, school supplies, and hygiene products, we purchased a printer and supplies for the school.

There are 47 students living in the dormitory.  The First Days of School Foundation gave them a monthly allowance for living expenses.  The Youth Club was very active in the community with important social work-based projects including teaching about the importance of hygiene during this time.  Washing hands, cleaning the body, good oral hygiene, and how to eat were some of the demonstrations done in the community.  They also shared the young people the topic of human trafficking.  They were taught how to avoid bad people who might want to harm them.  The work of the Youth Club continues to send a positive ripple throughout the community.
