Next, the team attended the expansion ceremony for the Swaidumnak School. Celebrating the completion of new classrooms, this event was well-attended by numerous children and stakeholders. Witnessing the joy on the faces of the children as they welcomed the new educational facilities reaffirmed General Link’s commitment to improving access to quality education.

Following the ceremony, an engaging recreational activity took place, with children participating in a game of karuta inspired by world flags. The smiles and enthusiastic participation of the children reinforced the purpose and impact of their support initiatives.

Heartfelt Interactions at Kukkuma Orphanage

In the evening, the team visited the Kukkuma Orphanage, another organization they have been supporting continuously. The day was spent playing with the children and preparing dinner together. The highlight was a performance of traditional Cambodian dance by the children, which beautifully encapsulated the warmth and friendship established during their time together. Everyone was deeply moved by the children’s radiant joy and stories.

Insights from Visits to Local Educational Institutions and Markets

The final day, October 27, was dedicated to benchmarking visits to well-regarded local schools, a key component of their supporting actions. The team set out to gather insights on advanced educational practices and management techniques that could be beneficial for the future development of Swaidumnak School.

Additionally, a visit to a vibrant local market provided a deeper understanding of the daily lives and cultural practices of the Cambodian people. Immersing in the local market atmosphere offered a unique window into the heart of the community.

Future Direction: Focusing on Quality Education

This trip significantly highlighted Cambodia's rapid development and the local dedication to education. The heartwarming connections made with the children served as a powerful reminder of the importance of General Link’s initiatives.
