Greetings from all of us Sisters, Teachers and Children of Chreh School. Our school will close for our Khmer New Year break which falls on April 13, 14 and 15. Classes will resume on April 21. All were looking forward to have this mid-term break. On April 4, our children celebrated our Khmer New Year in the traditional way of blessing their teachers by washing their hands with scented water and flower petals. The sisters and teachers too bless the children with Wisdom, Peace and Prosperity. Teachers then organized games and all enjoyed a lot. Our last and important part of the feast is the dancing and putting talc powder on the faces. Ah, what faces we had become!!! We then close our beautiful day with Happy New Year to each other.
On April 6, our past pupils from 2005, 2006 and 2007 too gathered together to wish each other Happy Khmer New Year. In this encounter, we invited only the past students who pursuit their studies. We were sorry to find out that some could not attend, because they had left for their native provinces. About 57 past pupils are present. The teachers then organized games for them and we all enjoyed. We also had a heart to heart talk about their difficulties encountered in their studies, renewed their DREAMS, motive their desires and above all to serve their country. On the whole, they were very happy to be back and they express their thanks for this type of encounter. We thank God for this day and we pray that these students may live up to their Dreams.
During these Cambodian Holy days, our sincere love to you dearest Friends of Chreh School, for your unconditional love and care for us and the children. Thank you for helping these little hearts dream Dreams and thank you for believing in us, in sharing our Educative mission. Above all, we believe that you are God’s Special Gift to these children. May God continue to bless you, keep you in His love and grant you prosperity and Peace.
With Love,
Sr. Ophriini |
