Visit of Sr. Jessica to the Teuk Thla Community

On March 16th, Sister Jessica, the Provincial of the Salesian Sisters in Myanmar and Cambodia, concluded her visit to the Teuk Thla community. She stayed here for a week and a half to observe the community and to speak with every group in the community — the Sisters, volunteers, teachers, training teachers, staff, and students. The community put together a big program to thank Sister Jessica on her last day. As part of the program, I was asked to dance in a traditional Khmer dance of the Phnum local people who live in the outer provinces of Cambodia. I played the “lead girl” in the dance, and teacher Theary (another FTHS teacher) played my boyfriend. The dance was a surprise for everyone, including all of my students who did not perform with me!
