Teaching at the Temple.

Cambodia has been full of twists and turns and not just on those motos! We met two really nice girls on the boat to Battambang, Sherie and Lisa. Stephen ran into them the next day and they had told him that they had been looking around the local temple and a buddhist monk had come up to them and asked if they would help in his English class. I joined them later and we were met with shy young adults who gradually plucked up the courage to ask us questions. Stephen and I visited the temple everyday until we left Battambang and I was the given the opportunity to teach. It was a lot of the fun and very memorable particularly when a young monk is playing your game with such enthusiasm that he is shouting out in english from the back of the room. Aok Sam Eath, the monk we became friends with, teaches monks and children from all over the area. His classes are much cheaper and his dream is to open his own NGO where he can teach English to children in rural areas and hopefully get the assistance from foreign teachers.
