Out of the Little Hearts diary
Our children are encouraged to write and read in English. They get better and better at this. They like to share their experiences with their Belgian friends. The article below was written by one of our kids...
Since Covid-19 started in Cambodia, all the countries have changed. In Cambodia the schools stopped everywhere, all the students can not go to school now until October. We have been studying online since March, it seems so difficult for us to catch up with the lessons but we always do our best and trying to improve and learn. Only when the internet stops working and we can not ask teacher or misunderstand that was really difficult and also exhausting. But now we have some teachers come LH to teach and we just received news that the school will be open again soon, so happy because we didn’t see our friends at school and we missed them a lot. We do have a good daily program with lots of activities besides daily maintenance, Khmer and English class. Activities we really enjoy were the lip song challenge, dance competition and “estafette retteketet“ was so much fun… We sometimes go out on bicycle trips with our brother and sisters or short trips to the market or pagoda but not to far and always careful. One thing made us feel sad was Khmer New Year because we cannot celebrate during Covid-19, but dad decided to organise a Khmer New Year at little hearts for us. Now Pchum Ben Day is coming this week and we can not go to home town, so dad has decided to go to pagoda together as one big family. We watch the BBC news every day, we discuss and understand the situation in Cambodia and around the world, we wish and hope one day Covid-19 will go away from the world and everything hopefully will be back normal again. We really wish everyone the best and as Ms Roxanne always says “Start every day with a smile on your face“.
