THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN NORTHWEST CAMBODIA

CHARABVIEL

The community is made up of 22 families and has grown in spiritual and economic strength, with catechism and formation of the young. The construction of a chapel in 2003, and the acquisition of new land for agricultural purposes has given them a stronger sense of community.

In 2010 the new kindergarten started. Our aim is to offer to the children a propitious space for learning .With this new construction more than 100 families that live in Charabviel can now acces to a basic education. An other of the aims is to improve the nutrition of the children of the area, who suffer from malnutrition in their families. The centre will have a capacity for 60 boys an girls. The Church provides scholarships to both school and university students that gives the opportunity study and provides them basic needs.

The Church has created a youth group that enables young children to meet and discuss their worries, life, faith, further developing a sense of community.
