Bun Rany-Booyoung School or what ever?
Actually, I don't think the urgent thing is school. Poverty is overshadowing cambodian's pride. So many villagers lost their value and virtue. Government build school and don't paid teacher. Teachers are the foundation of a school. So I guess, psychology's fundamental problem is not resolved yet. The first fundamental thing that human need is food. If your stomach is empty, your can't listen or your ears became deaf. Government, please create a sustainable jobs.
