Learning to read and write is much more than a schooling necessity. It gives kids the power to express, to make meaning of the surrounding world, and to gain the confidence to continue learning. Therefore, <\/span>child literacy programs<\/b> are one of the most potent instruments of change in rural Cambodia, where access to good teaching and books is usually limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link between <\/span>Cambodia's poverty and education<\/b><\/a> runs deep. Lots of kids get to school without the early nurture they require to advance, and without one-to-one help, those gaps only widen. As an <\/span>NGO working for education<\/b><\/a> in Siem Reap, Helping Hands exists to make sure that every child gets the help they need to move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
