I don’t like mathematics, because it is difficult. In my school I have four intimate friends. They are Ena , Saya , Tevy , and Sokha, I love them.

In my class we have 8 windows, 1 Door. We have posters of  a car parking outside the city or outside build up areas. About Policy on school health, about the world, About freshwater fish in the kingdom of Cambodia, and slogans. On the weekend we decorate the school or sweep the lawn. I am happy to study there, because I study gather with my friends.   I go to school because I want study.  I study because I want to be a doctor. I want a doctor because I want take care of people in Cambodia.

Yura just completed studies in Microsoft Word where she learned to make graphics like this. She created this for her blog post using her new skills.

PLF Note: We are especially proud to see this first blog post coming out of the dorm at Srayang. The students who study and live there, all graduates of Koh Ker Primary School, are the first from the village ever to go this far in school.  They live in an extremely remote location, but one that is primed for tourism and we’re especially happy to see the students at Srayang learning computer skills and studying English. The Srayang Dorm is a project of PLF Canada.
