Back in the classroom!! This time with smiling faces eager to learn. Working with my Cambodian teacher -Lung- who is very sweet but spent much of today asleep. The children had my first aid multiple choice test today they did not really understand multiple choice but they tried and it took them half an hour to do the 8 questions. Then I had them do role play doctor and patient. They don't do much speaking in English and were very shy. Their other lesson today was library which involves us going to a very hot room which has lots of English books and they sat for an hour and read. Lung slept and I got some of them to read to me. Then it's lunch for 2hours and we repeat it all with another set of kids. I stayed the extra hour for Lungs advanced English - just goes through a book and gets me to pronounce the words. Volunteers all have lunch in the school and then spend an hour in the local coffee shop- no Starbucks!! Just a village cafe . Was persuaded to have the ice coffee very strong with condensed milk. Tonight will join a bunch of the volunteers in a local Vietnamese restaurant. Really sad to see the authorities tearing down the shacks on the way to school. Making way for a more picturesque riverside will photograph tomorrow.
