In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “I am happy with the new school building because it means that we can teach more students.”
|
| On the difficulties of teaching: | “My job is difficult because I can only work half-days. The rest of the time, I work in the vegetable field.”
|
| On the joys of teaching: | “The best part of my job is trying to teach the next generation to be more intelligent because the ignorance of people during the time of Pol Pot caused my parents and many other people to be killed.”
|
| On why he teaches: | “I became a teacher because I want to teach my students not to fight with each other again.”
|
| On school subjects: | “My students like to learn mathematics and Khmer because they want to learn how to use numbers and letters first. They don’t like to learn applied science because they think that this subject is not important. I like to teach all subjects because they are all important during primary school.”
|
| On his plans for the school: | “I want to create a playground and playing field here to keep the students coming to school.”
|
| Message for the donor: | “I would like to thank Mr. Toshu Fukami and World Mate very much because now that we have this new building, the number of students at the school is increasing.” |
