In Their Own Words. . .
| On school subjects: | “I like Khmer because I am Khmer and it is important for me to know. I dislike mathematics because it is difficult and I have trouble concentrating on it.”
|
| On her hobbies: | “When I have free time, I help my mother sell things. I also like to play volleyball.”
|
| On Angkor: | “I have left the village once, to go to Angkor Thom temple. I thought it was good because it means many visitors for Cambodia and it will bring money here too. I was happy to see it and very proud of it, but I was unhappy that other Cambodians had stolen parts of it.”
|
| On her future: | ” I want to graduate from high school and work in a hotel. That way I can learn and practice English. I like learning English and computer skills here already and I want to use them.”
|
| Message for donor: | “I would like to thank the Aeon Group for giving us this new building.” |
