Meet Channith, a former student at CFI who is now a full-time computer teacher at the Learning Center.

Channith has three siblings, one girl and one boy. The family situation was so bad both of his parents were working as construction workers to support the family, and they struggled most to feed the family and paying for school materials and uniforms. 

When he started with CFI in 2011, he was around 12 years old and studied in grade five at the public school. 

During Channith’s time as a student at CFI, he got support to study in supplemental classes such as Khmer, Math, English, and Computer.  Each year Channith also got school materials and uniforms.
