Cambodian Children’s Home has new boys’ dorm

Last week, the Goducate Children’s Home in Cambodia held an opening ceremony for the newly built boys’ dormitory. The old dormitory was getting too crowded for the 24 boys in the Home plus the male staff. The new building consists of one large bedroom, a guestroom, and a bathroom with three toilets and showers.

The new dormitory was built to a large extent by the older boys in the Home as part of their vocational training. It is not fully furnished yet. The boys are still building the cabinets, which is giving them much practice in welding.

The new building was sponsored by a church in Singapore, and the official opening was timed to coincide with a visit from some of its members. After the ribbon was cut, some of the children performed music pieces and sang for the guests.
