We see hope through education for the left behind.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We are so incredibly grateful for the fierce women who are part of our staff and who show our students—boys and girls alike—what strong women are capable of. God is using them in incredible ways!

Did you know that every morning, our teachers greet every student at their classroom door with a handshake? It’s part of Capturing Kid’s’ Hearts, a method of connecting with students emotionally to improve their school performance and develop greater empathy and social skills!

It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for a new monthly virtue! This month, our students are learning about forgiveness and how, because Jesus showed us the ultimate forgiveness, we are empowered to forgive those around us.

As we spend time reflecting on the hope of Christmas, God continues to humble us with His vision for Cambodia, where only 3.2% of the population knows the reason for our hope and joy this Christmas season. We’re dreaming about the day when staff and students celebrate Christmas!

Our after-school soccer program is in full swing, led by two of our work study students, and it’s about more than just soccer: Greg is working through leadership training with our young coaches as they learn what to lead our students. We can’t wait to see where this team goes!

Cambodia’s HDI ranks in the bottom third globally: 143 out of 188 countries listed. What does this mean for us? Cambodia’s children and students are at serious risk of being left behind...and they have serious potential to be the leaders that change the narrative in Cambodia.

After missing about 2 months of class because of a motorcycle accident, Marckenley is back in school today! We’re so proud of the fight he showed during the recovery process, and so thankful for everyone who joined us in praying for his health. Welcome back, Marckenley!

We have so much to be thankful for today: our staff, our partners, our donors, and our students. But most of all, we’re so thankful for a God who calls us into His vision and restoration story for the world.

Today’s spotlight belongs to our Kindergarten classes! They may be our youngest students, but their teachers are already laying strong foundations for them to succeed academically and as leaders. We are so lucky to be able to watch them grow and develop!

Good morning from our First Grade class! Their teacher France Lourne has shown a passion for education and incredible leadership that she’s modeling for her students on a daily basis. We can’t wait to see how this year with France Lourne shapes our First Graders’ futures!

We are so thrilled to welcome Jessica Barz to our stateside team as our Events Director! We are so excited for her to leverage her passion for people and our students as she creates engaging opportunities for the Holland community to lock arms with us. Welcome, Jess!

Last month, Markenley was in a motorcycle accident. It will still take some time before he’s able to return to school, but the One 17 family has rallied around him through prayer and visits from his teacher and the school’s Leadership Team!

[One 17 International @one17intl]

We’re shining the spotlight on our Second Grade class and their teacher Mandie today! This year, they are getting their first taste of textbooks and a more rigorous academic curriculum, and they’re rising to meet the challenge!

Greg, our Country Director in Haiti, has been an incredible model of leadership for his staff team and our students—and he’s just getting started! After a book study, Greg said that he’s developed a whole new vision for his own leadership!

Manoucheka, our 3rd Grade teacher, is new to our school this year. We love the way she’s already making an impact on our 3rd Grade students and the ways she’s modeling learning to do right and seeking justice!

Meet this year’s 4th Grade class! New for them this year is a Justice Curriculum, a once-per-week class looking at injustices they see on a regular basis, leadership training, and creative problem solving to address these injustices. #hopethrougheducation #justice
