FASTER THAN FAST

JULY 11 - Sam and his interpreter Prem and I and my interpreter Mony set off for a 2 pm meeting Saturday afternoon with teachers and administrators at Kessararam Primary School ["KPS"]. Yes, Saturday is a regular school day in Cambodia! I had already met with the teachers and administrators so they were ready for Sam.

Sam evaluated the records needs of the school and recommended a computer system and useful programs. In the meantime teachers and administrators had been surveyed to see who would commit to a week of computer training with Sam. By 4:30 pm we were on our way to abc Computer System to purchase a complete computer set up.

During the same time the teachers brought chairs, desks and a table for the computer into a small office with a white board. They rearranged the room to make it a workable, if "tight," classroom. I can't even get all the people in the room in one picture!!
And the teachers selected 8 teachers to be in Sam's class so that by our return to KPS at 5:30 pm there was a classroom! To make the most of Sam's week in Siem Reap Town, classes were scheduled twice daily at 9-10 am and 3-4 pm for Monday through Friday.

You can read more about Sam's classes and his other Cambodia experiences on his blog from a link on this blog.
