New Classroom Construction | Rain and Flooding

November 18, 2008

E-mail from Vey Lav

Dear Leah,

Nice to hear from you, and thanks for your kind email.

Am doing fine but still busy at Elma new classroom construction which is almost done. I can not take an eye off the new building for now.

Besides this we also have to monitor the new students who just drop in the school and evaluate how much they stay with their grassroot English level.

It has been a horrible rain for few days in Siem Reap that made the road to the Elma School overflow. These infrastructure and bridges are under the government responsibility. It used to be much better condition when Elma began.

I met Rithy a few days a go and he told me that he is going to speak with the Hospital Mission and the ladies who are in charge of the international volunteer workers to Angkor Hospital for Children. Now I wait for his answer. Rithy plays a very important role for Elma shipping equipment, thanks for his work. Please tell your friend just keep up her hope.

Leah, the kids in the afternoon class were saying "hi" to you as they have your beautiful cards. Your presence at Elma became remarkable memories of Cambodian children. This is one of the ways to motivate students to learn foreign language. Thei and Srey Peak, the girls whose pictures you took, remember you the most, your name and age. One day they will send you an email in English.

I look forward to seeing your books.

All very best,

Vey
