Hi Everyone,
My name is Nikki and I'm Clare's sister. I will be helping Clare out by keeping the Stepping Out Cambodia Blog up to date and letting you know what Clare and the boys have been up to.
Hope you enjoy watching the Stepping Out Cambodia Programme expand and watching the boys confidence grow as they experience new and exciting things.
News and updates from the Stepping Out Program for disadvantaged youth in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Our vegetable garden is growing!
The boys are very proud to show you how much their vegetable garden has grown. They all take it in turns to look after the gardens.

February 2012
Well, it has been another busy month for us at Stepping Out. We had to say goodbye to Robyn, who has been an amazing support to the boys and I. We miss her so much already. Now I have taken over teaching the boys English at night. We also have two extra boys who join us for English class, they are from poor families and haven't got the money to study English. I am enjoying teaching the boys and SreyMom. Next week they will start learning French two nights a week.
The boys had their half-yearly exams which they studied very hard for and are now nervously waiting for their results.
We have an extra boy in the house now, Channy, has returned to the house and has settled in well. Channy is not part of the program but lives in the house. He is in Year 12 and works in the afternoon. It is a pleasure to have him back.

Rollerblading
The boys have enjoyed rollerblading every Sunday afternoon. They are slowly getting better, not as many falls as before. It is very entertaining but scary to watch them sometimes. I am proud that they have tried something new and enjoy socialising with other people.
