OK, enough lazing around it's time for some work now! Our "voluntourism" began today, after a few days of tentative meetings and exchanging messages with local schools.
Catherine is helping develop a curriculum for computer studies at a rural school about to receive a shipment of PCs (see http://laptop.org/en/); I will be trying to teach primary school English.
We visited the Tchey school by rickshaw earlier today with Lori Carlson, founder of the Ponheary Ly Foundation. After a quick tour of the classroom blocks, kitchen, padi fields and various NGO buildings each with their own story, we spoke to our new teaching colleagues and even spent ten unprepared minutes teaching.
More on this to follow, including on Lori and the foundation. Now time to write some lesson plans...
