6 New Students
I wanted to let you know that we received 6 new students from Battambang province at the school yesterday. (There is another one but he was sick so didn't come now) They have all taken their 12th grade exit exam but haven't received the results. Rich thought it would be good for them to come for this short 2 week class to get a feel for the school. At CBI, they have to read a lot more and the studying is more intense than what they do in high school. If their motivation is only to come to Phnom Penh because the big city is 'cool', they likely won't stick it out. Starting September 15th, the school will be on break for 2 weeks for the Pchum Benh Holiday. So they will be with us for 2 weeks and then go home for 2 weeks. We hope they will all choose to come back and study with us. All of these new students come from Sokun and Soklee's village or area. Some of them are already Christians which is exciting! It is great to see ...
