SCHOOLS CAMPAIGN

Each year, AMS coordinates a Schools Campaign with Marist Schools in Australia, which has a focus on a particular country and project. The 2024 AMS Schools Campaign, entitled Light Up the World, takes its inspiration from Cambodia and the LaValla Project.

The LaValla Primary School was founded by Australian Marist Brothers over 25 years ago in Phnom Penh to provide education to young people with disabilities. The LaValla Project has since grown to include the LaValla Village, an accomodation precinct supporting young people with disabilities to continue their education at the local high school. Notably, LaValla is still the only school for young people with disabilities endorsed by the Cambodian Government.

The Campaign Kit and videos we have created to accompany the Campaign are a great resource for learning more about the LaValla Project. To access the resources, click the banner above or follow this link: https://www. australianmaristsolidarity.net.au/ learn/
