Pre-School
Project History 2000-20006
The
Preschool Project began long, long ago in the heart of the heavenly
Father who desired for His Cambodian kids to get to know Him well
and be given an opportunity to fully develop in every area of their
lives. So He put this vision in the heart of Pieter Heres and Cheryl
Griffiths. Cheryl came to Cambodia in 2000, formed a partnership with
a local church (through Pieter’s help), and started the preschool
work in 2001. Cheryl left the country two years later with a promise
from God that He would resurrect the project in due time. He faithfully
fulfilled His promise and brought 3 ladies from 3 different countries
to Kampuchea. They re started the Preschool Ministry in 2003.
In
2004 (through the Father’s enabling, provision, and hand of
guidance) the preschool team partnered with another local church and
started the New Life Center II Preschool (NLC II Preschool) in Phnom
Penh Thmei, a province just outside the capital city. The team provided
leadership for the school and gave consistent, on-the-job training
and mentoring for 3 Khmer teachers that were hand-picked by church
leaders. They also conducted various preschool teacher training seminars
in Phnom Penh until 2006. All these activities were done in conjunction
with the mission of the project.
