Since Feburary 2009, the School Support Committee at Phoum Stung Primary School and SCC have been working with Our Books, a non-profit dedicated to the development of comic art in Cambodia, to design a series of images that promote the value of education.
The images, shown below, tell the story of children from a poor family whose parents attend a meeting at the local primary school and are encouraged to enrol their children in school. The decision to send their children to school, along with encouragement to study hard at home, results in the students' completing secondary school, finding jobs and securing better lives for themselves and their family.
Now that the images are complete, the production of two 2 x 2.5 meter signboards, which will display the images, are underway. Ultimately, the signboards will be installed in high-traffic areas of the community and unveiled in a community meeting. Stay tuned for further updates!
