Since July 2011, free english classes were given to interested primary school students from Grades 4 to 6 in Pnom Bak Elementary School in Daillo Village, Tuek Thla Commune, Banteay Meanchey Province.

Most of the students are children from poor families in the nearby Daillo Village. They have very low english proficiency level but are very eager to learn. A class can reach up to 40 students who attend per day. 2 classes are usually taught between 4:00 – 5:30PM.
De Nobili Student Center, which is part of the School Assistance Program of the Church also implements other english teaching outreach activities. The activity is mostly accomplished with foreign volunteers who guide the learning process. Students from De Nobili Student Center also give support as assistant teachers.
“I really wanted to come here to Cambodia. And I like teaching, so I like helping them learn.” Brother Francisco Jaewhan, a Diocesian seminarian from Korea shared.
