E-mail from Vey Lav
Dear Leah and Anna,
Thank you for your kind messages. I am so glad to hear from both of you. It took very short time to transfer your materials from U.S. Those books received are very interesting. The pictures of equipment are attractive for young kids who live in the farms.
The river overflowed up to the road leading to Banteay Srei. We had to walk over the uncomfortable wooden bridge for 15 meters. That bridge was not strong enough to carry more than five people, suddenly it had broken down.
I definitely want to help support Elma that benefit Cambodians, this is my goal.
We certainly understand that education is an international social civil rights issue. Everybody needs this. Cambodia is one of the youngest countries in education development, so a part of tourism is to help people with right education build up their future.
You know that Cambodians feel hopeless. This is the government's burden and our task too.
Your works, books, all your help is priceless for the people.
All my best,
Vey

Dear Leah,
Thank you for the update and thank you so much for all the work you do on behalf of the Foundation and Elma School in particularly. Your photos are beautiful. Thank you for letting us use them on our Web site, which will be constructed in the very near future.
My cousin, Sheree, is enroute to Siem reap to assist and teach at the school. She has seen your photographs and found them inspiring!
All very best wishes,
Jacqueline

Leah and Vey,
I’m so glad to hear that the students like those books. It is my great pleasure to be a part of this effort to bring English books to the children of the Elma School. My friends and I will continue to collect interesting books and send them your way.

Dear Anna,
Thank you so much again for all of your wonderful children's books donations from you and your friends.
For one batch, I selected the educational books like that adorable atlas and the sharks book and things like that and sent them off with a former Schwab colleague, Paul Emmert, who just met up with one of the school's founders, Vey, in Cambodia.
The books arrived safe and sound and you can read Vey's note below.

Dear Leah,
I got your beautiful books from Paul. Those rare books are very interesting with the pictures and vocabularies. I strongly think that the kids will admire them the most. Those are types of books we really need for young aged students or even adults.
Please send all my thanks and regards one again to Paul who took care of those.
All my best,
Vey

Hi Vey,
My friend and yours Leah Lau told me about your school.
I just sent my first box (23lbs.) of books to you. All are for young children + some really nice alphabet board puzzles. I sent them to the Mr. Yam Rithy at the Angkor Hospital for Children.
Hope the children enjoy them.
