Where's Teddy Now?

Dear privileged, Western student…

This is Siem Reap, the third largest city in Cambodia:

Siem Reap

This is a typical rural school, just outside Siem Reap. Students typically attend from 8:00am to 3:30pm, and wear school uniforms.

School 1

This is a teacher, a volunteer teacher, and his classroom. His name is Mr. Saam. He is a monk in training.

School 1b

This teacher was particularly proud of the school library and computer lab. This is the school’s library.

School 3

And another look.

School 2

What I want to say probably ought not be printed here, professional code of conduct and all. But I will say this: you have an enormous opportunity. You have won the lottery by having been born in Canada, even by merely living here.

Let’s take advantage of that, shall we?
