Community Work to Kámpot Provine

Yesterday, this was the great day that the estimates more than 10200 students of PUC had brought the Ankathena Tean to Kampot Province, which was led by Professor Sambo Manara, who is the professor of History Class of PUC. The Ankathena Tean was managed and set by Dr. Kol Pheng, the father founder of Pannasastra University of Cambodia.  There were three main purposes of that march. The first, we brought the Ankathena Tean to the Serei Chey Mienlark Pagoda. The next, we set a plane to study the community with the children in the area. The third, we also had a trip to Kep beach.

The March of Angkathina Tean to Serei Chey Mienlark Pagoda

The Sunday morning 19^th, October, 2014, Dr. Kol Pheng the founder of Pannasastra University of Cambodia had led the students perhaps 10200 to join the march of Kathena Tean to Chhuk District, Kámpot Provice, which is the west of the country.  That pagoda was 69 kilometers from Phnom Penh and which is in the rural area. 

We left the Phnom Penh at 5:30. The amount of the bus were 18. We the march went to along the street 271, Russian Confederation Street. To go to Kámpot, we need to travel along the national Road 3. When we arrived the Psa Borsaet Market, we had breakfast. Everyone got the back of rice included a bottle of pure drinking water. Then when it's finished, we continoue our travelling.

Maybe 40 minutes after, we arrive the Serei Chey Meanlark. all every student was standing two lines from the gate to the inside area. Professor Sambo Manara led us and ask us to sing the songs that he gave us before the mission started. While the march was moving slowly into pagoda, everyone sang songs. Then we were greeting much closed by the students of primary and high school.

The gift, such as monks' clothes, presents, Ipad Mini2, Laptop, and money.

The Community Work With Children

For my group, the topic for teaching the children was about how to give Khmer traditional respect. We had shown the bout the five ways to respect the people in our culture.

For me, I did not teach those children, I was asked to join the monks accepting the give from us that led by Dr. Kol Pheng, his relatives and the students.

If we looked to those children, we could define the way they lived, and the condition of their family. A Teacher among of others told us that, now day, they had nothing. Especially, the meterails for student in their studying. In fact, those children were very clever student when we thought them. Unfortunatly, because of poor, they never get the good living and studying as students in town. At the end of our teaching them, we gave them some gifte. The gift were a pack of present [two note books, a pen, a pencil, and a rubber] and a pack of bread and a bottle of pure drinking water.

Trip to Kep Beach

After we finished our march for the Ankathena Tean and community work with children, we countinoued our trip to Kep Beach for lunch and enjoyed the sea view. My entire group had prepared already before the trip. We just ordered two kinds of seafood. Then we ate and cooked by our self.
