On the New Building: |
“I
like the new school very much. The old building didn’t have enough
desks for everyone. Sometimes as many as seven students had to share
the same desk. Now, there are only two per desk, and enough space.
|
|
Favorite Subject: |
“My
favorite subjects are Khmer and Math. They are important, because if
you can read and can make you understand everything. Of the two,
math is most difficult. I’m not very good at calculating.” |
|
On English and Computer Classes: |
They’re just like Khmer and Math, only a little different” |
|
On Her Future Plans: |
“After
school I would like to become a teacher. As a teacher, you get a
regular salary every month.” |
|
If She Could Do Anything: |
“I
would want to help the poor, because they need help.” |

Message to the Donor: |
