We were honored to welcome a visit from Rick and Patty Debruhl.
Rick and Patty are neighbors of Danny and Pam Spitler, and have been interested in the Spitler School Foundation for years.
They finally had the opportunity to visit Cambodia and they made sure to include a stop at the Spitler School. Not only did Rick and Patty bring smiles to our students, but they also donated a generous amount of school supplies.
Studies consistently show that regular chores lead to improved academic performance, independence, and overall happiness. We can’t argue with those statistics!
Our students are great helpers when it comes to keeping the campus clean and beautiful. We love that our students have pride in their school.
The local language calls it “Choul Chnam Thmey,” which means: “Enter the New Year.” Every April, Cambodia bursts into a vibrant display of colors, sounds, and cultural traditions as it celebrates the Cambodian New Year. This festivity, spanning three days, marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of a new year in the traditional Khmer calendar. Families gather to honor their ancestors, visit temples to offer prayers, and partake in various activities. Streets and homes are adorned with decorations. The celebration is not only a time for merriment but also a period of cultural expression and communal harmony.
We always enjoy photos from Spitler School as the staff and students celebrate one of Cambodia’s most important holidays. The staff and students send their best wishes, and a HAPPY KHMER NEW YEAR, to all those who support their education aspirations.
