Past Pupils Meeting – Phum Chreh
The first meeting of the Past Pupils of Don
Bosco School was organized after the official beginning of the new community in
Phum Chreh by Sr. Maria Thao and the Sisters on September 14, 2018.
Sr. Maria had invited Sr. Elizabeth Ophrinii
the pioneer of the mission in Chreh and Sr. Leeza John Kokkatt, the responsible
of Past pupils, Cambodia to join the meeting. It was a day of great joy to see
about a hundred young boys and girls that had completed studies in the school,
gather together with openness and simplicity at their alma mater. Sr. Maria
welcomed them and introduced the sisters and the teachers. Sr. Leeza spoke to
them about forming the Past Pupils Union in Phum Chreh and the events which
will be involving them in preparing for the grand meeting with Sr. Phyllis Fma,
the general councilor in the Institute.
Sr. Maria gave them some points to share in groups and in the general
assembly. One of the boys Veasana who just has just come back from Vietnam
after studying Engineering, recalled his humble beginning in Phum Chreh with
Sr. Ophriini. He is so grateful for the education given by the sisters. Many others too shared beautiful experiences
that they had in their school years . All of them realize that the basic
education and the formation given by the sisters helped them to reach to present
position (teachers, accountants, engineers,
….) It was indeed a satisfying
experience for the Sisters, teachers and parents to see those young boys and
girls growing with dignity of life.
