Boram and Srey Neang 2014 was the first year that the Cambodian Government did a blitz on all corruption in Year 12 exams and for the first time in recent history all the students who passed did so purely on merit. Only 26% of Year 12 students passed their final National Certificate… and two of those were Boram and Srey Neang! After s few visits to Phnom Penh and looking at different universities, both Geckos have moved to the ‘big smoke’ and are now living and studying in Phnom Penh. Boram is studying Business Administration and within a few weeks was moved from Foundation Year to 1st Year because of his level of education! Srey Neang is following in Mum’s footsteps and has begun an Interior Design Course and has even completed a few short courses in Art Therapy!

Sokoun Our gorgeous girl worked so hard and took her studies seriously, graduating from the Shinta Mani Foundation course in October. Before graduation day had even arrived, Sokoun had gained jobs in her chosen fields, she found an amazing position at a brand new restaurant with five star food and service and she has definitely served Mum and friends on more than one occasion! Not content with just one qualification, Sokoun decided to go back to High School to complete her secondary education as well.
