“I am very happy that we have a new school in the village. Before I never went to school,” she said. She is ranked second in her class of 38 students. Her best topics are Khmer language, social studies and science. She has good friendships with the other students.
When she grows up she wants to earn money to help her parents. So she must now study hard to achieve this goal. Romas Smort said: “I love my teacher. I believe strongly that this school will provide me the best opportunity for a bright future”.
