Remy (the Leadership Resident in TT Dorm) has just finished a series of nutrition classes with the 19 Third Year students.
Its been a big part of the programme this year and helps prepare the students for living on their own once they secure jobs and leave the dormitory.
Remy also mentioned this week that she's been enjoying lovely morning bicycle rides around Phnom Penh with some of the students. You get to see different parts of the city which sounds great. Hopefully no lycra required...eek.Northwest Missouri State University has also been in touch. They want to set up a project where small groups of students in Phnom Penh and Missouri make and share short videos with each other about life, food, culture and experiences of education. The aim is to broaden both sets of students' awareness of every day life in another country, improve confidence with English speaking and have a bit of fun putting the movies together. Some of the students in Missouri will be the first in their families to have gone to university may well have similar experiences to share. My friends Steph and Jo know all about movies and documentaries. I'll definitely be emailing them for help. ...maybe we'll even be able to have a wrap party after the first "series".
By the way, we've raised an enormous £4,040. It means we may even reach the original £5,000 target by the time I leave. Thank you so much everyone.
