New projects at the Cambodia Goducate Children’s Home

The raining season in Cambodia is over, and construction on a few projects commenced at the Goducate Children’s Home in Prey Nob, Cambodia, in Dec 2010. One of the projects was to build a security fence around the farm area. Fruits and vegetables used to disappear, or else get trampled or eaten by wandering cows or buffalo from outside the Home, and we hope that the fence will keep future intruders out.

Work has indeed started. We built a low brick wall along the front perimeter and the fence will be fixed above this brick wall. For the other 3 sides, we will not build the brick walls.

Front Fence

With the completion of the fence within another month, the children at the Home will commence once again with planting and tending to their little plots of vegetables. Rice and corn will also be planted, and all these will provide the residents with a good supply of wholesome, organic food for the dinner table.

Visit by the Goducate Children’s Home to the USS Mustin

The children from the Goducate children’s home in Prey Nob, near Sihanoukville Cambodia, had a big treat early this month – they were invited by the United States Navy to tour one of the guided missile destroyers from the 7th Fleet – the USS Mustin!

The children, over 40 of them, queued up and were orderly and well behaved as they boarded the destroyer, and they were divided into two groups. During the tour, the boys were allowed to pose with the big guns, and they had a field day indeed! Perhaps some of them had now determined to join the Navy when they grow up!


The USS Mustin often calls at the port of Sihanoukville, Cambodia, and act as goodwill ambassadors, giving their time and resources to the poor in Cambodia.

Ceiling fans sponsored by the US Navy

The US Navy had been involved in community work with the Goducate children’s home since early 2010. The kids received free dental treatment from the Navy dentists during an earlier visit, and the Navy also sponsored the purchase and installation of several ceiling fans at the Children’s Home.

Goducate looks forward to more opportunities for co-operation with the US Navy in the near future.

Post University Training

As part of Goducate’s structured and effective leadership training program to train Chinese to be leaders who will be able to impact the lives of thousands of other Chinese, two interns from China now have the opportunity to be trained beyond their home ground.

Goducate realises that fresh University graduates from 2nd/3rd-tier cities in China need to be trained and given international exposure to adapt to a growing globalized world. These brilliant Chinese students are very good academically but generally lack essential life skills such as leadership, management, business and communication. Most of them come from one-child families and lack the social skills necessary for team work and leadership. Continue reading “Post University Training”
