In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “I think the new building is a sign of progress in the village, because it is new and solid and made in a way we have never seen before. All the kids in the village can go to get knowledge there. Before, we were trying to get a new building from the government, but the villagers thought that we didn’t have a chance. It is unbelievable that we received this building as a donation. Thank you.”

| On the importance of education: | “It is important for kids to try and study hard so that they can have good jobs and be good people in the future. I think that my kids like Khmer and mathematics best, because they are the most important subjects for their real lives.” |
