Beyond the Classroom: CIAC Students Spread Love Through Community Outreach
At Canadian International Academy Cambodia (CIAC), education is about more than just academic grades; it is about developing the heart and character of every student. This February, the school community demonstrated this commitment by transforming Valentine’s Day into a day of meaningful service.
A Tradition of Kindness
For CIAC, giving back isn’t a one-time event but a cherished annual tradition. This year, students and staff organized a special visit to a local orphanage to share resources and time with those less fortunate. The trip serves as a live classroom where students learn the profound impact of empathy and social responsibility.
During the visit, the community provided essential support, including:
- Vital School Supplies: Helping local children stay equipped for their own educational journeys.
- Clothing & Food: Providing basic necessities that make a direct difference in daily lives.
- Caring Connections: Reminding students that love is best expressed through kindness and generosity toward others.
Why Global Citizenship Matters
In today’s world, universities and employers look for “global citizens”—individuals who understand their community and seek to improve it. By participating in these outreach programs, CIAC students develop a well-rounded perspective that balances high-level academics with a grounded sense of compassion.
