After spending two afternoons volunteering in the library under the able guidance of Lisa and the Chief Librarian, Vuthy, we soon learned how to make ourselves useful (I think!)
Here are a few of my reflections!
- Small cozy room where students love to come and go
- Special new table and benches arriving much to everyone’s delight
- New shelving units built on the spot and set up for immediate use
- Lots and lots of books of all sizes , for all ages, in all categories
- Happy chief librarian, Vuthy, who enjoys his many volunteers, both students and outside helpers
-
Musical instruments and singing in the corners described to us as a “long poem”
- Adhesive tape that was impossible to use
- Sitting on the floor, organizing lower shelves
- Sheer delight at opening boxes of donated books
- Chatting with student volunteers about “What is your name? Where are you from? How old are you? (Nothing is sacred!)
- Happy, beautiful faces all eager to learn

Hi everyone, it's wonderful to read about your adventures in Cambodia.
I have some news from home to share with Nina Cole and Chris Snyder: Can you please let me know that Carolin Sweig wrote to tell them that my application for CSRAI won the Pearson Education Community Award! A donation will be made; details to follow when you return home. This is great news for Kilema orphans!!
Safe travels!
Carolin
