Chumkriel Language School Cls

Chumkriel Language School (CLS) is a Cambodian NGO bringing education to impoverished children from the rural community of Chumkriel. It gives them a real chance in life! In 2005, Chumkriel Language School (CLS) started in a small classroom, teaching English to 100 children. Today it has a dedicated school building, agricultural garden and sports field, and is teaching a comprehensive curriculum to the children of the local community.
