In Their Own Words. . .
| On his hobbies: | “ I like to go fishing at the small lake here and visiting our family farm. At the farm, we grow mango, mangos teen, durian, papaya and other fruits.”
|
| On his future: | “ I plan to graduate from secondary school at least, and hopefully high school. I want to go to high school because if I can get more education, I ca get a good job in the future. My father only finished seventh grade and my mother ninth.”
|
| If I could go anywhere…: | “ I would go to Kampuchea Kram because my grandparents live there.”
|
| If I could do anything ……: | “ I would grow to thank Taiko I was very much for providing this new school building for he other students and I to get knowledge. I wish he good health and longevity.” |
