Volunteer Participation in Development Project...

Hello Kimlay

Our placement at COLT has progressed nicely and we feel that we have come a long way as teacher. We have split the group into 2, older and younger, and have included in our lesson plans, among other things, verbs and adjectives, tense usage, plurals, math lessons, and prepositions. The kids are so sweet and fun to spend time with and it has been a pleasure to know them! The staff continues to be kind and helpful to us.

We have taken 2 excellent weekend trips to siem reap and kampot, and have managed to fit in all of the recommended Phnom Penh sights in this last week. It has worked out well that we spent morning at COLT, because this affords us the opportunity to use afternoons to sightsee, explore new neighborhoods, and prepare for our next day’s lessons.
