SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN
See you Again
In Cambodia, where Pchum Ben, the “Festival of the Dead,” lasts 15 days, people have a special relationship with the deceased. That’s why our founder Hannes Schmid wasn’t surprised when students from our 6th grade came to him because they wanted to record a song in memory of their friend Raksmey, who was killed by a lightning strike in 2019.
We looked for a suitable song together and found it with “See you again” by the American rapper Wiz Khalifa. The song, which Khalifa wrote for the actor Paul Walker, who also died much too early, is about loss and dealing with the pain of saying goodbye. The song lines are
So let the light guide your way
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home
It’s not just our campus kids who are touched by the song.
