Grady Grossman School Founders Featured as Colorado's Parents of the Year
(PRLEAP.COM) Fort Collins, Colo. August 10, 2008 – While on their quest to finding children to add to their family by means of adoption, Kari and George Grossman, a couple from Fort Collins, Colorado, was able to save an entire Cambodian community by starting a school for Cambodian children.
According to a feature on the Grossmans in the Rocky Mountain News, the Grossmans were selected as the American Family Coalition’s Colorado Parents of the Year, making them the first adoptive couple to hold this honor in the state.
The Grady Grossman School serves the children from five villages in the Southern Cardamom Mountains near Mt. Aural. Each year more parents choose to send their kids to school, rather than to work, because the Grady Grossman School is perceived as a "good school" with a computer, English lessons, a library, a large garden, and teachers that show up everyday.
The Grossman couple also started a nonprofit called Sustainable Schools International, which tries to help Cambodian villages build and maintain schools through economic development.

About the Grady Grossman School:
The Grady Grossman School began in Fall of 2000 when photographers George and Kari Grady Grossman decided to donate to American Assistance for Cambodia’s school building project called Put a Roof Over Their Heads. The school is the only permanent structure in this remote Cambodian village in the Cardamom Mountains. Grady Grossman started with just 50 children in a dilapidated hut, and today there are more than 485 students and 7 teachers in a solid cement structure with clean water well, and a solar powered computer.
