Cody’s First Weeks of School:

The first couple weeks at AHIS were a bit crazy for me and the school.

Our school is moving campuses next year, but until then we had to buy a portable classroom for our 7th graders. You can see them moving it in the DAY BEFORE SCHOOL started in the pictures above!!!

My 6th grade class is absolutely amazing. The kids are great and really eager to learn. Our school is putting a larger emphasis on reading this year, so now we have several silent reading times per week. The kids really enjoy this time to discover new books and read some amazing stories.

School lunches, no matter where in the world you are, are usually questionable to kids. So, students will decide to pack their own lunch with a “better” option. Fried baby bird was the better option one of my students brought this week…

During the second week of school I was in charge of leading the school assembly. My class put on a short skit about the Bible. The story was about a “store” called Cover To Cover. People who had questions or problems would call, and the store would give them Bible verses to help. The kids love acting, singing, and dancing, so naturally we had to do all three in our assembly!

This week during orientation we visited one of the VDP (Village Development Program) Catch-Up schools in Prek Pneu, just outside of Phnom Penh.

Asian Hope has several catch up schools which were created to help low income, low performing students in Cambodia. The public school system in Cambodia is very corrupt and students must pay bribes in order to succeed. The school week consists of half days Monday-Saturday. Students who attend the VDP catch up schools are behind in school and come to these schools in order to catch up to their grade level standards. They are also taught a bible class everyday.

The school in Prek Pneu helps the local fishing community which is shown in the pictures above. This community has a ton of kids, and many are far behind in school. Our VDP is helping get these kids back on track academically and provides them a safe place to learn.

***The picture above of the clothing pinned to the wall:
The vast majority of people in this village are buddhist/animist, so they are constantly worried about evil spirits. Many homes have clothes hanging up on the outside wall to scare away demons and evil spirits at night.
