Farewell gathering at Teacher Manashi’s House

Teacher Manashi has been in Cambodia for more than 5 years, and she used to teach me three subjects including English Language Media Studies, Asian and American Literature, and Advanced English Grammar. The courses were fairly difficult, but she still tried to explain the lessons to us.

Receiving the information that she will be leaving Cambodia to Thailand, we felt sad and thought that we should have a farewell party for her before her leaving. After discussion, we finally set the party on last Sunday when we brought some Khmer dessert to her house and chat with her for the last time.
People who went there include Chetra, Sunheang, Mouyhour, Dalin and her husband, Sovanna, Sophorn, Vutha, and me. We stayed until 6 p.m.

She was so moved that I could see tears almost fell from her eyes when we said goodbye to her at the last minute. She is such a friendly and considerate teacher who we really appreciate for her kindness and patience when she taught us.

When there is meeting, there is parting; however, it is important when we can make the time when we were together meaningful.

Students of T. Manashi joined the party. From left to right, Hour, Sunheang, Vutha, Sovanna, me, Dalin and her husband, T. Manashi, and Sophorn. Chetra was not in the picture.
