In Their Own Words

On the new building: “Before this school was built, I had to walk to the old school building.  It was far from my house, and on the way, I had to cross National Road 6, with cars and trucks driving quickly down the road.  Now I don’t have to worry about having an accident.  So I am very happy with the new building because it is close and much safer to go to school.”

 
On school subjects: “I like learning Khmer and mathematics.  I dislike social studies and applied science.”

On her future:  “I would like to be a nurse or doctor.”

Message for donor: "I would like to express my deep thanks to the donors for building the new school and for providing various types of games to my friends and me.”
