Meet the Teachers

Svay Savong - Director

Age 34, Savong is the director of the school. Svay Savong was born in the early 1980s during a time of extreme poverty and hardship in Cambodia following the Pol Pot years which saw the death of some 1.8 million Cambodians and the destruction of all the main elements of society: religion, families, education and the economy.

Savong’s father is an educated man who used to be a Buddhist monk, and he instilled in Savong very strong values, and it is from these that Savong’s dream to provide not just education but free education have arisen.

As director of the school, Savong spends part of his time liaising with visitors and volunteers, part of his time managing the day to day operation of the school (weekly staff meetings) and part of his time teaching.

He has two delightful young daughters and a boisterous son named “Lucky.”
