The mission of CTOD is really wonderful, and Sros is dedicated to constantly improving schools in every aspect. We love the fact that CTOD provides FREE supplemental education to the children of this community, working to better the lives of those in the community through Education. During our two weeks here at CTOD, we helped teach English alongside local Khmer Teachers, and provided a two-day training course for the English teachers to help them provide More effective instruction. One thing we loved was seeing so many children eager to learn English (and these classes are in addition to their regular school). Everyone, both the staff and Students, greets you warmly with a smile as you enter a room and all the children want to give You a high-five before they leave! We stayed at a guesthouse east of the city, which allowed us to ride bikes to CTOD every day and ride into the city in the evening if we wanted. Our Schedule was to observe classes in the afternoon for our first week so that we could make the Teacher training course specific to the teachers’ needs. It was great that the teachers were willing to take the time to come to our training because they were eager to improve as English teachers. What’s more, it was awesome to see the teachers implementing the new activities and teaching techniques in the classes after their training! It was a great experience working with teachers and helping with classes here at CTOD; we were very sad to leave.
