Our School Supporter's Message

Hello, my name is Ben Martinez and I am the volunteer/non-paid School Support Coordinator for the Village of English School in Kampong Speu Province. I retired in California, live in Thailand, and visit the school regularly to help as needed. This school is not a "diploma mill", that generates a profit for a corporate entity or private individuals. It is located in the country, where resources are scarce and sometimes overlooked by the bright lights of the big city.

The school welcomes financial support in any amount, and I can assure you that it is used solely and directly for the education of the children enrolled there.

Click Here To Donate. I live in Thailand and I forward PayPal contributions directly to the school bank account in Cambodia using Wise. Unfortunately PayPal is not directly linked to Cambodian banks.

If you have any questions, you can reach me at: benmart51@msn.com; by phone at +66 924157376 or by Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/benmart51

Kindest regards,
Ben

Why We Exist

The Village of English School began in 2016, founded by young Cambodians who had grown up in rural villages and were fortunate enough to continue their studies in the city. With hearts shaped by the challenges of their childhoods, they never forgot how difficult it was for village children to access even the simplest English lessons. This memory became their driving purpose: to return home and open doors of opportunity for children and high-school students—teaching them English, guiding them with discipline, and helping them grow into confident, strong-minded young people.

At the Village of English School, we believe that no child’s future should be defined by the place where they were born. Every village child deserves the same hope, encouragement, and possibilities as those in the city. To us, education is not just about learning—it is the spark that builds courage, shapes character, and gives a child the power to rise above the cycle of poverty and dream of a brighter tomorrow.
