The volunteer group taught some practical skills to secondary school children.
At schools in countryside and remote areas especially, teachers and study materials are insufficient. This secondary school in Takeo invites teachers from other schools to teach some subjects that the local teachers can’t teach. We encourage this active approach for education.
The volunteer group shared various ways to tie and fasten ropes, and how to use clothes at the time of spraining ankle and bleeding.
We had a time to dye paper with these children, too. We wanted them to know how beautiful colors and patterns can be made by dying in certain ways. And we made a bag with the dyed paper. Something useful can be made out from a simple piece of paper. We wanted to introduce such a way of thinking.
One of great things that day was that the teachers participated in the program (not just observing) and instructed the students while learning things by themselves.
