Gems 1st Annual Party
Oh, it was a great evening, with great weather and a great team preparing together....so many things to be thankful for! It is the end of the year. The school just started its break on Friday and the teachers and parents decided to have our first Annual Party in conjunction with the Human Right's Day. We had a picnic in a new park just by the river.
We had banners and flyers and many people were interested in what we were doing and that was a great opportunity for the Battambang town people to become aware of our school. But of course, besides that, we had the kids singing (8 of them this year), playing games and doing some arts activities. Oh, we also gave out prizes to the kids for the virtue that they've been practicing well throughout the year. Here are some pictures for you to get a feel of the day's event!
We sent the banner to be made at a shop..it came back without our school's name in English...but just as quickly as the error was detected, the guys came back with stickers to show GEMS... but it did a whole lot of publicity for the school in Khmer!
Kids and parents behaving very well ;) while waiting for the program to start.
That's me telling the story to the kids about Little Anna who shares what she has with her friends.
The kids sang 'Baby Beds' which had a little lamb with its mother sheep in the green meadow.

Good to see that you are having fun. Keep it up! Now you have 24/7 internet access, I will send you lots of links to good websites that teaches English, Maths etc... but I am sure you will also find what you need through a little search and homework. How come we dont ever see you on Skype or Yahoo? Love, Fay Che
Prema, your school looks so beautiful. Such big grounds. Looks like a good turn out.... are you getting more publicity now?

Yup, the school is a big building...we just need a good interior designer every six months to see how we can make it look like a great kinder!
The picnic turnout was at least 50 people, including the students, their family and passer-bys. I went to market the next day and the chicken seller, who had seen me at the picnic was asking about the school and what we were doing...so nice!
Oh, that was me just now.. the computer was still signed in as Jeanne. Sorry, Jeanne!

Prem, the place isn't what i imagined it to be. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is really nice. There are schools here that are a lot nicer to look at but i doubt they have teachers who are anything close to the love and dedication you have for your kids. Keep up the good work.
