We are involved in education, supporting an <a href=\"https:\/\/cambcomm.org.uk\/ccc\/timothy-school-and-sports-ministry\/\">informal village school<\/a>. CCC's vision is for the establishment of a Christian <a href=\"http:\/\/cambcomm.org.uk\/ccc\/timothy-college-and-business-institute\/\">college and business institute<\/a> in Cambodia. We support a Christian sports ministry that helps keep teenagers out of the clutches of drug pushers and criminal gangs.<\/p>\n<p>CCC is a non-profit organisation, based in the United Kingdom, registered as a charity (number <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.charitycommission.gov.uk\/Showcharity\/RegisterOfCharities\/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1062205&amp;SubsidiaryNumber=0\">1062205<\/a>) by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/charity-commission\">Charity Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you need any further information about Cambodia or about the work of CCC, please <a href=\"http:\/\/cambcomm.org.uk\/ccc\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How you can help<\/h2>\n<p>CCC relies on donations to finance its work.
