RIDGEWOOD CAMBODIA PROJECT
Connecting Children in Cambodia with Students Attending Ridgewood Public Schools
Welcome to the Ridgewood Cambodia Project
The Cambodia Rural School Project began in 2007 in three Ridgewood, New Jersey schools. It was conceived as a student-driven program to fund construction of a school in a rural Cambodian village and nurture ongoing, cross-cultural relationships. The concept was brought to the Ridgewood, New Jersey school district by two parents and the district approved the project
