On the
New Building: |
“I am
very impressed by the new school. I have only been here for a short
while (two months), but I can tell that the children enjoy the new
building. They seem more eager to study. In the old building, there
were not enough desks for everyone. We only had a dirt floor, and in
the dry season the wind would send the dust from the floor flying
inside the classroom. Now it is much easier for the children to
study, and for me to teach. Because of the new building, we even
have English and computer lessons.”

What
he teaches: |
“I
teach first grade. This includes one hour of Khmer, one hour of
math, and two hours of social studies every day, Monday to Saturday,
except Thursday, which is their day off in the middle of the week.
Once a week, for two hours, I also teach them science.” |
