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.

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.

Football Goalkeeper Training
On weekend I have a coaching class where I teach 4 students who are the goalkeeper. I have taught them over one year already and I can see their skill is improving. I mostly taught the situation in the game like crossing and corner kick. The four goalkeeper are from the Junior team and when there a game it hard for me to choose one goalkeeper because all of them are equal. By teaching them is a thing that Liger want use to do like stewardship. I said stewardship because I learn this skills from other and I share to other also there are Junior so I need be role module for them.

On weekend mostly I train goalkeeping with my two friend. The friend that teach me one of them is a goalkeeper and other one is a defender. When I train copy the style that England goalkeeper training and train like them both of them train me really good. Now my skill of goalkeeper is changing from scratch to a person that know how to do goalkeeper. I forget to tell you that before I was a defender but I change my mind to do goalkeeper because now my height is growing a lot and my height is good enough to do goalkeeper.
