under the legs of elephant as the symbol of the province. At 10:30 am, we all have prepared for community service at one poor primary school with only one building and containing only ten classes by training to sing four song and preparing the educational activities to the students during this first of June.
Walking under cloudy sky and slightly bright of sunshine, and looking at the crowd of children standing under the trees with green leaves, around 250 students at the age between seven to ten year-old with smile on their faces looking excitedly at a group of students who came from Department of Media and Communication (DMC) which is under the control of Royal University of Phnom Penh.
They have taken around four months to prepare and wait for a community service on the first of June, 2012 to one of the poor primary school, named Prey Sro Gei primary school standing alone with the poor building and empty large campus with a few tree in it, but with a large green grass. At that time around 27 university students from DMC with Khmer alphabet T-shirt standing as five lines face-to-face with the twelve lines of the local students with school uniform standing under the shadow of the tree and cloudy sky with bight shine of the sun through the green leaves.
We all have done many activities by guarding by a professor, who is wearing black trouser with a pair of white boot and short-sleeves color shirt and wearing pink and white Khmer kroma on his neck, walking in a quick step with white big microphone on his right hand raising up as if he is walking and talking with black glasses on his left hand, walking into the queue of ten students who is standing on the ground with half of the grass and half of red rock. Professor Sombo Manara had
All the students had to stand still round three minute until DMC students leaded each of the lines as one of them standing in the from of the line and another standing at the back of the lines with hand firmly as a huge circle to show their unity and their closeness being in the shape of circle, each of them have shouted “DMC” and “Prey Sro Gei” by raising the right hand up and shouting it out spontaneously to make all of them stay in touch with each other in their sense. All of the students had sited as a circle in a group which contains around ten or fifteen students and two of DMC students sited in the central of the circle in back to back to take turn in educating them regarding health care, preventing danger, setting goal of life, and sharing educational experience, and how to protect themselves from danger such as thunder, dengue fever. Moreover, to give children’s to them on their day, on the first of June.
After the whole process of the community service with all the children successfully, we prepare everything to get on the 30 seat bus which is landing in front of the school to have leisure at one big lake, called Steng Chey Neath, which took only around fifteen minute. Walking on the wooden, large bridge and one red land to the lake, the sound of flowing water from the nearby bankment, many local people are swimming, and walking in the walk with the big smile on their faces.
The next day on July 02nd, 2012, getting on the bus around 8 am to get field trip at Sombo Prey Kork Temples, unfortunately because of the heavy rain last night, the road from the national road to the temple was damaged so seriously that it causes the route become slide like oil on fried pan. After the hot, nervous, serious feeling on the way, we all make a unwilling decision to get field tripe at Son Touk Montain instead. Walking on steps to reach the top mountain with around 20 minute, and learning each significant part of the mountain with the young guide who is under 13 year-old by tell each part of the mountain though what they known in their mind to earn the money for their living way.
We all arrive at Phnom Penh at 6 pm, with the feeling of nostalgia– a feeling of pleasure and sometimes slight sadness at the same time as you think about things that happened in the past and wish all the past can happen again on day. Waiting for my brother to pick up for home under the shine of the light from streetlight in front of Royal University of Phnom Penh with around ten friends with light-hearted mind, let’s go!!! Bye!!! Bye!!! Everyone!!!
