The Aeon Jasminum School
(August, 2001)
Sok Sen is a 13-year-old third grade student at the Aeon Jasminum School. His parents are farmers and he has three brothers and a sister. One of his sisters is in fifth grade at another primary school. She goes there because there are not enough students for a fifth grade class at this school yet.
In Their Own Words. . .
| On his future: | “I want to graduate from secondary school because it means that I will learn well and properly, so that I can grow up to help Cambodia. I want to be a teacher because I want to see other students get knowledge.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like Khmer because I want to learn how to read the newspaper and learn about the history of Cambodia.”
|
| On leaving his village: | “I have never left this village, but if I do, I want to go to Angkor Wat so that I can learn English and meet foreigners.”
|
| Message for the Aeon Group: | “I would like to deeply thank the Aeon Group for providing this village with a school. It was kind of them. Thanks from the kids here.” |
