Comments on HVTO Free English classes provided me a precious experience; I realized the principle that guides my life: people who have a college education should serve people who cannot go to universities. I had understood the surface meaning of it, but it had not really hit me because in Japan most of people can enter a university. However, people in the village where I stayed cannot go there even they are really smart and hope to go there because of economical reason. Under the situation, Mr Sim Pisith is exactly putting the principle into practice. That is, he has served the children and villagers.
Local English teachers also impressed me so much because they keep up both teaching English and schoolwork or farming. However hard the work might be, they would not complain. Additionally, I was astonished at monks’ will to live even they are orphans. (A new project which is to teach English to monks who are like orphans began during my stay.) Generally speaking, children who are under a hard situation tend to take to misconduct; however, they have a strong desire to learn English and a genuine smile. Finally, I received a warm welcome from the villagers and children, especially the host family, so I deeply appreciate their kindness. Thanks very much. I am sure that next volunteers applause the HVTO with one voice.
