VOLUNTEER’S STORY
Léa from France who volonteered in RTOC for almost 3 weeks.
It was a challenge but i learned a lot!
During my time in Pouey’s school, i teached for différents levels: the let’s go 3, let’s go 4, the teenagers and the older one in the evening.
It was interesting to work with this children, they are very motivated. This children are amazing, they go to the cambodia school, they come in the english/chinese school and they help their parents in the farm, at home or to sell at the temple, and they always keep smiling…. They are hard workers and they deserve help.
I’m a teacher in France, so it was even more interesting to teach in this school. It was a challenge to teach for children who don’t speack my language, to teach without a lot of books, pens, ….
The team’s work with the other helpers is also interesting.

Penny在RTOC当了两个星期的中文教师。心里有着满满的感动。
孩子们的欢笑声、朗读声、吵闹声伴我渡过了感觉踏实的两个星期。
在RTOC教学是非常快乐自在的。学校没有所谓的“教育系统”,没有完善的设备,更没有特定的教材及考试制度,却充满了爱与欢乐。志工教师有人来有人走,学生们没有因为这样而无法好好学习。本着一颗对学习的热忱,他们操得一口流利的基本英语,有的也能以简单的中文来沟通。与其说孩子们向我学习中文,不如说他们教会了我何谓活在当下,何谓知足常乐。这个简单淳朴的小乡村,充满了爱。感恩遇到的每一位志工及学生们还有Mr Poeuy一家人,在我的人生旅途画上了精彩的一页。
***希望教中文的志工老师能带些基础班的中文书本或教材,大约20至30份(附有汉语拼音,图画,词语或短句类型)。也能带些习写生字的作业,学生还没学写中文字。这是我在2016年七月份教中文期间觉得学校缺少的书籍。谢谢!***
