Smiling Gecko Educational Campus
OUR CHILDREN SANG THEIR WAY INTO THE HEARTS OF FOOTBALL FANS
In July, our school choir had the great honour of performing at the Cambodian Football League finals at Phnom Penh’s National Stadium.
Accompanied by the two Cambodian musicians and enthusiastic Smiling Gecko fans Kesorrr and Roxy, our young artists aged 11 to 17 gave their all to delight the audience with their singing talent.
For our children, performances like this provide a welcome change from their daily lives, which are full of hardship. At the same time, they provide important motivation to continue working hard at school. Perhaps one day they will escape poverty and earn enough money to afford a ticket to a football match themselves.
The most important thing for us as an organisation about events like this is the publicity. It is the best publicity for us when a small school from the provinces is given preference over established private schools from the capital. And it is even better when Deputy Prime Minister, Hun Many, is among the dignitaries present. He was very impressed by our choir and congratulated our children personally. What an honour!
