...Unquestionably Youngsters...
They may look young to you yet they’ve got what it takes becoming future educators in Cambodia. Come to our village so you will know what I am trying to say. Give a heart-to-heart conversation with these kids then you will know what I am trying to persuade. Pay a visit and immerse yourself for a day and you will find out that they are worth spending time with.
This month I am honored to train ten encouraging individuals. Proud to say, the first ever teacher’s training where youngsters are chosen to participate in the said course. Soon they will be my co-educators. The training is conducted to prepare for the summer program when more teachers are needed badly. Instead of hiring licensed teachers who could not speak English at all, I came up with an idea training my own kids themselves. This will give them opportunity to share to newbies what they have learned since they got here. At the same time this will also enhance their teaching ability especially for those who aspire to be teachers.
...Lifetime Investment...
Without a doubt! But this is no money talk neither epitomized for business sake. As an educator, the honor of giving my time, the pride of offering my services, and the selflessness sharing my own resources to be able to educate unfortunate kids who have rights to chase their dreams, too, are lifetime investments. I would say money cannot buy. This makes me truly happy and fulfilled.
I cannot wait to see the rest of them teach a real class not only this summer but also the days ahead. Half of them have been teaching classes already. They just needed polishing and enhancing. Two more weeks to go and the training is over. But I always believe that the lessons taught and learned are lifetime investments.
To the kids, I salute you all.
I wish you the best in your journey as educators.
