ICS International School, Calmette Campus, has once again demonstrated the power of education rooted in compassion. In collaboration with its parents, guardians, staff, and generous donors, the school has contributed $6,300 in support of refugees in Odomeanchey Province. The donation was made through the Cambodian Higher Education Association (CHEA) and highlights the school’s dedication to both social responsibility and national solidarity.
A Community-Driven Act of Generosity
The initiative, announced via a heartfelt social media post, emphasizes how the ICS school community unites during times of need. This generous contribution isn’t just a financial gift—it is a symbol of care, unity, and the value of standing together during times of crisis.
As students return to school for the new academic year, they are also learning firsthand what it means to be active, compassionate members of society. By involving families, staff, and students, ICS International School is embedding real-life lessons in empathy and civic duty into its educational ethos.
Supporting Refugees Through CHEA
The Cambodian Higher Education Association (CHEA), a respected national body, is coordinating relief efforts for those displaced in Odomeanchey. ICS International School’s donation directly supports this effort, contributing to food, shelter, and medical supplies for affected families.
In a country that has seen its share of hardships, these kinds of actions remind us of the vital role educational institutions can play in responding to social challenges. ICS is not only focused on academics but also on nurturing global citizens with a deep understanding of humanitarian values.
Embodying School Values Through Action
This act of giving reflects the mission and values that ICS International School promotes—integrity, compassion, and social responsibility. It’s not just about classroom learning but about instilling a deeper purpose in students: to be active contributors to a better world.
The visuals accompanying the announcement reinforce this message, with a combination of patriotic imagery, text in Khmer and English, and photos that reflect the reality of the refugees’ situation. It’s a sobering but inspiring reminder that schools can—and should—play a role in national and regional healing.
ICS International School is setting an example for others in Cambodia’s education sector, encouraging schools to look beyond their walls and connect with the broader community.
