Alex is gone, 4 Malaysian volunteers arrived

On 15th September, Alex, who came from Taiwan to volunteer with us as electronic engineer for four weeks, has returned home. He worked magic with all the electronic devices donated to us that needed to be tuned in order to be operational. We are so grateful to him! It was a worthwhile experience for him as well, and he may come back in January or February next year. We are looking forward to seeing him again!

On 18th September, 4 Malaysian volunteers, Jazz, Huei, Shiang and Ming Kang arrived at our site. They gave an arts class at the Prey Proseth Primary School, and students enjoyed painting, drawing and watching a movie. It was at the time of Pchum Ben, a Cambodian Buddhist Festival to honor the ancestors, during which most of the students returned to their parents’ hometown to meet with their relatives and celebrate the festival. Some of them however remained here, as their family home is too far away, and it was for them that our Malaysian volunteers organized an arts class. It was a most enjoyable time for these 20 students who couldn’t be with their family. Thank you so much, Jazz, Huei, Shiang and Ming Kang!
