In early 2009 The PEACE Fund donated a further USD $10,000 to enable TAB Australia to run a series of much needed workshops in Cambodia aimed at improving literacy levels amongst schoolchildren. Sue Slater was one of a group of dedicated teachers who volunteered her time to lead a number of workshops and has written a series of letters.

Each program features nine workshops and TAB anticipates 1000 elementary and secondary teachers will participate. Since each Cambodian teacher teaches between 50 and 200 students a day, and the education children acquire lasts a lifetime, investments in good teaching lead to meaningful change. TAB is looking to expand this program into Serbia and Panama.

All personnel work is on a volunteer basis, accomplished by teachers helping teachers. 100% of money donated is spent on TAB Projects.
