Three months of outcomes, social media growth, new banner

Outcomes in April, May, and June 👑

During the school vacation in April and May, TukTuk put in a lot of effort to create new teaching materials to promote in preschools. So, how did it all turn out...?

• Published TukBooks in size A5.
• Participated in the Cambodia Festival 2023
• Completed the 8th Tukbook, "We Can - Just Differently" and its resource package.
• Conducted the sixth workshop and follow-up school visits.
• Participation in the Rotary International Convention

It's been an incredibly exciting few months for TukTuk! We've had the pleasure of collaborating closely with local education bureaus and teachers, putting in the effort to develop and distribute our materials right from our office in Pursat Province. And guess what? Our reach has extended beyond boundaries, allowing us to share our work with people in various provinces and even different countries!

Though we haven't yet measured the full impact of our materials, we are filled with gratitude for the overwhelming support we've received. The encouragement we've garnered inspires us to keep pushing forward and striving for improvement. Your continued support means the world to us, and we wholeheartedly thank you for being an integral part of this journey! 💪

TukTuk's social media is growing! 👆👆

As of late, it seems that our activities have been gaining more attention, leading to an increase in people discovering and engaging with our Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms. We'd like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to everyone to check them out!

Let's take a look at our current reach:

• The Khmer version of our Facebook page boasts more than 4,200 followers.
• Our Facebook group for teachers has surpassed 1,500 members.
• Our Telegram channel, where we share teaching materials, has gathered over 1,000 subscribers.
• Our YouTube channel for sharing teaching materials now has more than 3,700 subscribers.

It's truly incredible to witness the growth of our Facebook and YouTube pages, initiated in 2019, as well as our Telegram group, which we opened about 18 months ago. Together, these platforms now connect with over 1,000 people! The interest in our teaching resources is both heartwarming and inspiring.

In the months from April to June alone, our free educational materials website has been accessed over 52,000 times, with a particular surge in popularity for our Khmer worksheets.

If you know anyone interested in Cambodia or learning the Cambodian language, we'd be grateful if you could recommend our Khmer worksheets to them 😊. Let's continue to spread the word and make our resources accessible to more learners!

Khmer of the month

Khmer Word: Aob

"Global Hug Your Kids Day" falls on July 17, and its purpose is to promote and encourage parents to show affection and love to their children by embracing them in a warm hug, known as "Aob." The universal language of love conveyed through hugs resonates worldwide. In Cambodia, where family bonds are highly cherished, it is a common sight to witness parents hugging their children and vice versa as an expression of their deep affection for one another.

Khmer Food: Chhek Sngao (Boiled bananas) 👇

New banner is out! 👏

Last December, we had the opportunity to join the Cambodia Book Fair for the first time, and the response we received from attendees was truly encouraging. Thanks to the interest and positive feedback we garnered, we are excitedly getting ready to participate again in this year's event.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our presence, we engaged Rasin, our intern, to create a fresh banner for TukTuk. This new banner proudly showcases TukTuk's distinctive blue and yellow colors, while effectively conveying our mission and values. Our team is wholeheartedly committed to excelling in their respective roles to ensure the banner receives ample visibility and represents TukTuk with utmost pride.

Tukstaff spotlight | Milly

Meet our pint-sized powerhouse, Milly! Recently turned two and already a fixture in many of our photos, Milly has been spreading smiles and winning hearts, whether she's tirelessly selling books at the Cambodian festival in Tokyo or enthusiastically showcasing flyers at the Rotary International Convention in Melbourne 😊 Her unyielding spirit and infectious joy have brightened our events and bolstered TukTuk Charity's mission.

Juggling charity work with learning three languages, Japanese, English, and Khmer, Milly one day hopes to eat what she wants when she wants (Why can't yogurt and muesli be for dinner?) 😂

Despite being just a toddler, Milly's dedication, generosity, and enthusiasm are a testament to her ability to make a difference, proving that age is merely a number when it comes to changing the world.
