A group of Lehigh students and professors traveled to Cambodia, from Oct. 30 to Nov.8, as part of an effort to forge a partnership between Lehigh and non-profit organization Caring for Cambodia.
CFC was established in 2003 by Bill Amelio, the 2008 Lehigh graduation speaker and former CEO of Lenova Group, and his wife, Jamie Amelio. The organization is geared toward improving the education system in Cambodia, one school at a time.
There are currently five CFC schools in Cambodia, comprising four primary schools and one secondary school. These schools are run by the Cambodian government, so the national curriculum is still followed. The difference is in the delivery of the education and the school environment.
