Right now, I’m sitting behind my desk, with a fan swishing through my hair, as I reflect on the whirlwind of learning and adventuring I’ve been through this past month! I have been blown away, (pardon the fan pun), by the kindness of everyone I’ve met, the support I’ve received from my colleagues, and just the newness of Asia seeping into my soul!

For me that is definitely true. I came from a state (Arizona) that frankly, does not appreciate, support or even acknowledge the value of teachers or education in general. But here in Cambodia, in a Canadian School, I can feel that recognition and admiration again. 

My physical space at school is simply breathtaking and well equipped. Both art rooms are stunning, with many windows, and just glorious light pouring into the space. There are multiple sinks, and rolling tables, plenty of storage space, and even a brand new kiln! 

Every other classroom I’ve seen also has lovely windows and light (can you tell my previous classrooms had no windows?), which seems essential not only for children, but for teachers. The classes are clean, the hallways are well kept, and it seems to be, so far, that anything you need to be successful is provided for. 

I hope you enjoy seeing these pictures of the school, as much as I have enjoyed meandering the hallways and literally getting lost! I’ve also included a couple of videos below, one is of our solar panels and the other a promo video!
