Ho Dara is a third grade student at the Dixon Learning
Center. He is ten years old and has two brothers, |
| On moving to Phnom Dek village, location of the Dixon Learning Center | "I moved to Phnom Dek village from Rovieng one year
ago. In Rovieng, my parents had no job. So, they moved here and now sell
soft drinks in front of my house. Phnom Dek is better that Rovieng because
the nighttime in Rovieng is quiet. Rovieng is not so happy at nighttime.
Phnom Dek is happy at nighttime. The population is not so crowded in
Rovieng. Phnom Dek is still new to me." |
| On the new school and its computer lessons | "I like the new school because it is comfortable and
not so crowded like the old school. I started studying computer lessons 13
days ago. I want to learn the computer because I want the knowledge of
computers to get a bright future." |
| On the when he grows up | "When I grow up, I want to be a senior official in the
government. I want to earn a lot money so I can feed my parents." |
| On his hobbies | "I like to play football (soccer). I do not like swimming, but I know how to swim. There is a dam nearby where we go swimming. I do not know how to play instruments, but I like to sing. My favorite song is called 'If you have a new one (girlfriend), what don't you tell me?" (Dara then sings the very popular song for us. It is a fast, pop song known throughout Cambodia.) |
