Khmer Literature and Culture Festival

Khmer Literature and Culture Festival is a new festival that is being organized by Liger student.  The event is happening on the 24th of May, 2019 and it will be held at Liger Campus. This festival will act as a medium to bring together people from various places: schools, NGOs, universities and so on, to connect and interact and ultimately preserve Cambodian literature and culture. Within this event, we aim to spread awareness and exchange ideas relating to social issues such as gender equity, climate change, women in STEM, and lastly to empower other youth to take on leadership roles through various activities offered by our students.

 

The student has put a lot of effort in organizing this event, both cohorts of Liger student is involving in organizing it but the senior spend more time organizing the event. Also, we have a committee which that team spends a lot more time than others in organizing the event. The other student mostly focuses on presenting the booth and other activities like poem competition.

 

The committee team includes 7 people from the first cohort of Liger. We have met regularly to do all the planning, giving work to other students, contacting people, schedule and budget. The committee spends a lot of time working on the budget in planning out the money that needs for the event. Also, the committee and other student help to find a sponsor for the event, which to help reduce Liger budget for the event and our team did it, we get a sponsor from US Embassy, The Plantation Hotel, and Soursdey Cambodia.

 

There will be a lot of activity happening that day like performance which will be a showcase of many performances including Khmer Dance, Cambodia Fashion Revolution and educational performance. Also, there will be competition for a short story, poem and especially we will have special guest which they will be talking about several topics related to Khmer Literature and others. The special guests are well known Cambodian author, Literature teacher and Literature activist.

Throughout in organizing this event, everyone learns a lot of new things especially the committee team, the team a lot in managing the budget and all those small details of organizing an event. Each step in organizing the event new challenge come up which make us learn new thing and it a good thing because when we organize it again, we already know what we need to do. All of us hope that this event smoothly, and we also hope that will also happen again next year.

 

The result of turn to be a very successful event which there were a lot of attendance and everyone really enjoy the event. This festival has made Liger a more well-known school and it has help to preserve Cambodia culture and literature. Everyone receive a lot of new information and understand more about Cambodia literature and Culture. Also I hope that this event will happen again next year and continue to help preserve Cambodia Literature and Culture.

Phone Photography Skill

This year my photography skill has been developing rapidly, I’ve taken a lot of lesson on it and also get to practice a lot. By practicing those skill I use my phone to do it and I have learn that we don’t need expensive gear to take a good photo. Here is some example of the work I’ve done!!!!

Math Round 2

So for this round in our math class, we’ve focused a lot in Khan Academy which we use them to learn the news subject. The new subject that we have learned are Transformation, Congruence, Similarity, Rights Triangle & Trigonometry and we also started to learn about Unit Circle but haven’t go in depth into it yet. Using Khan Academy it a unique way of learning which we can learn from watching the video or from the step that it shows how to do it. Also, it was an assignment which we need to get a level five on the subject in Khan Academy to get 20 points for the Activities. At the end of this round, we have a test which includes all the subject that we have learned this round and it a very interesting way to learn by digital.

 

S’more Lab

On the 6th of December, we did a lab which related to making s’more and this lab we allowed to eat the more that we made. Before we did this lab we studied how to learn to balance equation, limiting and excess reactant and experimental and theoretical yield also for this lab we also need to balance the equation for making the cookies. The definition of limiting reactant is the reactant that uses in an experiment and the leftover reactant is call excess reactant. In the lab, we also require to find the percent yield which we need to take the experimental yield divided by theoretical yield then multiply by 100% which we will get the percent yield and for the lab the percent yield was 100%.

Organizing film workshop in the province

In this exploration, we have changed our thought in organizing the PPYFF event by going down to some province and teach some student about films and let them submit int the competition. Our idea is to let the student use their smartphone and create a cool short film about the topic that their want to do. This is totally a new plan than what we expected and we hope to see this working because the film will create by the government school student. If this project were to be success it means that our team has changed some students live and their future.

Online Learning

For this round, I started to find online courses to extend my skill in Media. I’ve checked out many online courses but most of them are not free but one of them that I know of that is free is Coursera. I’ve written a financial aid letter to them asking for a free course in Photography and finally, I get to learn for free.  The course will last for 4 weeks and it about 4-5 hour per week. This is really exciting because it my first time taking online courses and also to learn about photography.

 

Liger Edge

One of the coolest explorations that I will do this year is the Liger Edge and it our school newspaper website. For the first round, we start to build the website and divide the job also start writing some article. For me, the role in this exploration is Editor of worth a thousand words picture, web designer and the head of the sports category.  Also, I am the photographer for this exploration and the reason I join this exploration because I want to extend my skill in writing also in Photography. 

 

An Unusual and Exhausted Soccer Game

On the 9th of September Liger’s boy’s football team took on a game with a provincial team, Kandal U-17. This team is the representative for the province, and has attended the national game and many other national competitions. The match started at 8:00 am and they won with the score of  4 to 2.

 

The starting eleven players for our team were Menghuoth as the goalkeeper, Puthea, Seyha, Samnang, Somphors as the defenders, Rathanak, Panharith as the two midfielders and Vitou, Ketya, Davith, Lux, the four forwards. Even though our team lost,  we were satisfied with the score because we had only 13 players. Some of the players were injured and for some players, it was their first debut for the team. Right at the start of the game, our player Ketya scored a marvelous goal which was his first goal for the season and for the team. That goal was scored with an amazing pass from our midfielder Panharith. Unfortunately as the game goes on our formation started to break apart because everyone was tired. Also, Panharith received a red card during the second half. As the second half began, our defender didn’t do that well and we conceded four goals which was the reason we lost. As the game came to an end, Vitou, with the remarkable cross from Rathanak, scored a last second goal of the game.  

Our team could have done a lot better during the game if we were to have a lot more players and training regularly with our coach. Also, our team had never played that early and it is hard for our players to adapt, the other things are that our players needs to show more effort in playing and understand more about each other more during the game.
