Noun San

Director of Education

I have been working with Sustainable Cambodia since August 2014. My first job was as an English teacher where I gained insights and techniques for classroom management and using modern teaching materials. I also learned computer skills and started researching new teaching methods. From this experience, I gained the knowledge to become a school principal. As the principal, I help support and build the teachers to become a strong team.  They, in turn, lead students to do the right things and how to lean on themselves when they leave school.

I can say that SC has been a good place for me to build my heart for education to assist my community. One thing I always think about is why do other nations come and help my people?  These gifts from their hearts push me to want to do more and more for my students. When students start with  SC, I want to see them with the bright futures ahead and become the ones who can support their family and one day, other people around the world.  SC has transformed and inspired me to use my love for teaching and education to make Cambodia and the world a better place.
