"I, Kuch Phanet, am nine years old and am studying in the third grade of this new school. I am the #5
 student in my class, out of 33 students." 

On his favorite subjects:

 

"I like to study mathematics because it makes me understand how to calculate. I also like Khmer because I want to know about the history of Cambodia"

"When I have free time, I always read stories and newspapers. I also like to play football (soccer) and help my parents with their work."

 

On his family and home:

 

"My father's name is Kuch En. He is 40 years old and is a farmer. My mother's name is Touch Sophea. She is 30 years old and is a housewife and a farmer. I have no brothers or sisters. The distance from my house to the school is about 500 meters. I go to school on foot everyday."

 

Message to Osamu and Noriko Sugita: "I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Sugita for taking care of the kids at my school. I have made up my mind to study as hard as I can and produce my best work. I hope to learn English and computer skills."
