Savong Svay
Founder and Managing Director
Savong had not even finished high school when he opened a small classroom on the side of his father’s house to teach English to younger children. He grew up in desperately poor times.
As a child he missed school for many years in order to help his family earn a living. Times were so poor that he was supported by the local monastery, but it was there that he received an inspiring education and like many of his generation Savong was motivated to assist younger Cambodians through education.
