Mr Sambo Manara delivers his speech to the participants.
(10 December 2006)
Children are bamboo shoots for a nation, but most of them are not neither aware of the significance of the knowledge nor have its objectives for their future. About 70 percent of elementary students say that their ambitions are to be teachers, after finishing schools. They seem to know only the brightness around their villages. Career as a teacher is very popular among them. Importance of other jobs such as engineer, lawyer, architect and how to become these has never spread to the countryside; therefore, how do those children get the chance to live happily when they are old enough?
In order to help the society, especially in the field of the educational system, a team comprised of about 100 university students from the University of Cambodia (UC), Panasastra University of Cambodia (PUC), and Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), go to 2 schools in Takeo Province on 10 December 2006 (Human Rights’ Day). This group is lead by Mr Sambo Manara, a lecturer. On that occasion, roughly 700 students and 40 teachers in Ang Metrei Elementary School and Sam Rorng Elementary School of Angkor Borei District? greet the delegation warmly and joyfully.
Our objectives are 1)- to demonstrate significance of the knowledge, 2)- to encourage those pupils to strive to learn and tell them not to skip schools, and 3)- to bring some stationery parcels for the students.
The program finishes at 4:00 pm, and the group arrives in Phnom Penh at 7:00 pm safe and sound. We feel very enjoyable in this trip.
Please be informed that all friends will be welcomed warmly to take part in this group activities.
