| On herself:
|
I have three sons and two daughters. All of them but my oldest daughter are studying at this school. My husband is at the pagoda, serving on the pagoda committee. He encourages lay people to come and pray at the pagoda at every full moon for four days. Otherwise, he’s a farmer like myself. Our house is one kilometer away from the school.

I’m both excited and glad that my children can come and study at the new school everyday. I think this school will be better for my children because they will go to school everyday. This new school is much closer to our house than the old one. The school has made the people around here encourage their children to study and they want to take care of the school. |
