Partnerships: Teachers for Tomorrow is currently working in partnership with the Spitler School Foundation, a U.S.-based 501(c)3 non-profit that runs a school for over 800 students in Siem Reap, Cambodia. They were very helpful through their advice to and support of TFT. In 2013, The Spitler School will have its first class of eight-grade graduates from which Teachers for Tomorrow will recruit for its 2013 Scholarship Program.
