On September 1, 2020, AKC staff and volunteers already took the action to organize our school to meet the requirements imposed. New class and student schedule has been also developed to reflex the SOP. Here attached is how the Class Schedule 2020-2021:

According to this Covid-19 adapted schedule, each class only consume 3 hours or 3 sessions at the school. This lead to have more classes and more responsibility to teach for each teacher.

Taking this opportunity, with the strong support from our parenting foundation, Helpucation e.V. in Germany, AKC has now reached to the most matured level in the history. Three of the founders is now taking the roles to run the organization. This includes Mr. Hak HIEN, take the role Executive Director and teaching; Mr. Meam BY, taking the role of teaching and academic development; Mr. Samnang CHHON, taking the role teaching and overall organization development and Mr. Chhay LEAP, taking the role of teaching, farming, and school coordinating, and more backing team. Once again, thanks to heartfelt support of the Helpucation team for personal contribution and fundraising even in this difficult situation.

AFK NGO would like to thank also to Child Foundation, United States for advancing in the support of the SOP preparation.

From all your support and care make AFK and AKC warm and confident. We believe this Stage1 reopening of our Non-formal, Non-Profit educational institution will be a success.
