Besides our English language program, the BEA kids also participate in our “self-development workshops.” Once a month, the directors, staff and students join together in student-led discussions in Khmer on a designated topic. In the past, topics have included goal-setting, discrimination, volunteerism, and many others. The topic for May’s self-development workshop was “how to build self-value.” Part of the workshop included our staff sharing how BEA helped them in the personal and professional lives The purpose of this program is to improves the students’ self-confidence and eliminate their “poverty complex.” Sadly, many of our students start their studies at BEA with little self-worth due to their impoverished backgrounds. So far, our annual student evaluations have revealed that the BEA kids feel more positive about themselves and this has helped them with their family life and studies. We’re planning to expand this program for the 2014-15 school year. Our first semester themes will include BEA’s Child Protection Policy, bullying and family alcoholism. We’re really excited to hear what the BEA kids will have to say about those issues.

The BEA directors, staff and students would like to wish Sreynet, our fabulous librarian and research assistant, a very happy birthday! Affectionately known as "the library hunter," Sreynet runs BEA's library program and keeps our books in tip-top shape. She's even been known to go to students' homes to get overdue books!!!
