In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | I like the new building, because it is easier to study in than the old. It also has a toilet and a water pump. In the old building we didn’t have enough tables for everyone to sit.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like applied science and Khmer because they are easy, and I dislike mathematics because it is hard.”
|
| On his future: | “I want to graduate from secondary school so that I can get a good job. I don’t know if I can go to high school. My parents want me to get a good job, especially when I get married.”
|
| If I could do anything…: | “I would like to open a Chinese noodle restaurant because it is an easy job.”
|
| Message for Ronald Winston: | “I would like to thank Ronald Winston for donating the new school building for me and my younger siblings to study at. I wish him good health.”
