We visited our school in Cambodia

Once again, after a year, a Czech expedition arrived in Cambodia to discover the beauties of Cambodia and spend time on our farms with Kampot pepper.

To show them the best of Cambodia, we immediately set off from the airport to our friendly Kohchann Primary School for a welcome. We had an important task ahead – to hand over the money that we collected thanks to you and thanks to SIA Restaurant for the construction of a new library for the school!

In total, we raised 2000 dollars, a much-needed amount for completing the building called SMART LIBRARY.

We have been supporting the school since 2015, when it had only a few dozen students, classes were held in a wooden gazebo, and the children did not yet have uniforms.

Today, the school has about 400 students and is doing very well.

The group's welcome was magnificent. The children sang, danced, played musical instruments, and had prepared for us Cambodian krama – traditional scarves that locals wear as the most important part of their clothing. Each member of the expedition had a picture drawn by the children, and then we joined a procession to the library.


“Here we are building right next to the new building, it will be four entire classrooms,” the principal Makara proudly said.
After the library, there was a photo session and wiping away the first tears of the newcomers, then we were invited to a traditional apsara dance, which is protected by UNESCO, and the children performed it for us in several variations.

After this beautiful show, for which we were invited so they could teach us the dance, we handed over the last Czech gifts – mainly musical instruments and Czech memory games.

After the official handover of the gift, we all started preparing to leave – the children have a break between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. when they go home by bike for lunch. Filled with impressions, we said our final bows and with a loud “sok sabaj! ” which means “take care! ” we set off back on the journey with the group.
