Photography inspired poetry

Students are required to write three different type of poems such as the Found poetry, Photography poetry, and the Metaphor poetry. The poems can be written in any perspective reflected on any books that students had read. Here is my Photography poetry that was written in a perspective of a seed growing at the dump. I was inspired by this lovely picture of a poor little boy scavenge at the River of the Victory dump which best known as the largest municipal dump in Phnom Penh.

I’ll grow out of anger,

I’ll grow out of fear,

I’ll grow out of where YOU, people called dump,

To prove you I’m massive.

 

I water myself,

Night and morning with my tears,

And I grow both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright.

 

You once called me a groundless seed,

You trapped me miserably,

But you never knew that this browny-little seed,

Seeks its own nutrition, out of this toxicity.

 

(Deep breath)….

And now, maybe I’m not a beautiful tree.

But, I’m not alone.

Thanks to this municipality, or this yard, or this large, awful, stingy, rubbish, landscape. 

You gave me the moon, the star, the sun, the cloud, and you proved to me that I’m no longer the unwanted seed.

Bonjech Ponler

“Bonjech Ponler” is a title of a 4 minutes songs that had created by the Human Agency Company collaborating with the Liger students and Phare Ponleu Selpak. It was my pleasure to be selected as the fellow in a film production in a purpose of introducing Cambodia culture to the whole world. There were eight students selected for this two weeks project which required everyone to travel down to Battambang province to meet all of the crew and actors there. Human Agency is a company who “produce content-powered platforms for the most recognized brand names on the planet.” They’ve done many videos, their crews are from all over the world and their requirement is to finish the film in just two weeks. It was fun working with them; we did so many activities such as planning idea, designing scenes, producing music, writing song, filmmaking and interview many people.

Maker Faire 2018

Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. At the early of March, I had an opportunity to present my technology fashion project at this event. Click here to read more on my project. Furthermore, I got the chance to network and observe the craftiness from a lot of Cambodians, which could imply that Cambodians are intelligent, talented, and creative. It’s satisfying to see that we are developing in the STEM areas, I can’t wait to see the development, yet to come.

Rabies in Cambodia

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Rabies transmission can occur through the saliva of animals and less commonly through contact with human saliva. In Cambodia, there are 600,000 dog bites per year and 60% of them are children under 17 years old. Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, is one of our partner had come out to our school and did a short presentation about Rabies. It is very impressive to meet them as well as knowing that they are the only organization that give out Pre- and post-exposure vaccination to people all around Cambodia. In addition to this, we also meet the other two organization which are Animals Rescue Cambodia (ARC) and Phnom Penh Animal Welfare Society (PPAWS), whose are working closely with animals. We got a chance to travel down to Mondulkiri with PPAWS and held a Rabies campaign there for two days. We gave out rabies vaccines to dogs and cats as well as desexed them in order to keep control of their population. On the 7th of February our students with ARC, held another campaign nearby to provide a free vaccination to dogs and cars. We did around 170 dogs & cats in totals for just one day which is a really good sign for us.

Vaccine before dog/cat bite

  • Dose 1: As appropriate
  • Dose 2: 7 days after Dose 1
  • Dose 3: 21 days or 28 days after Dose 1

Vaccine after dog/cat bite or scratch

  • Dose 1: As appropriate
  • Dose 2: 3 days after Dose 1
  • Dose 3: 7 days or 28 days after Dose 1
  • Dose 4: 21 or 28 days or 28 days after dose 1

Go Film for MoneyTree

MoneyTree is a curriculum brought by a Singapore Company. They established to provide a solution to address the financial literacy gap. Liger is very lucky to bring this curriculum into school for the Junior. “Money tree taught me how to save and manage my money.” – Dara. Meanwhile, Samady, Samnang, and I are having such a great opportunity to help the company with their promotion video which will use to target Cambodian parents. Before the end of January, our team will visit three different schools in Phnom Penh (The Westline School, Apple Tree International School, and Cambodian Children’s Fund organization), to shoot several videos as well as to meet with the curriculum trainer from the Company. This might sound simple, but we have their future with us.

Khmer Audio : Marine Ecosystem

Carols are invertebrate, living in a compact of colonies of many polyps. It comes in many different shapes and color. Corals are easy to find in shallow water due to a mutualistic relationship with algae. In one year, it’s can grow up to 3 centimeters or 5 centimeters only. Sadly, there are several illegal cases happen in Cambodia’s Ocean which led all aquatic animals and plants into danger. Lately, our students had worked as an audio scribe to educate people about marine life. We hope people will be educated about marine ecosystem and willing to preserve our beautiful corals as well as the other biodiversity.

Here is the sample of the scribe in Khmer:

ផ្កាថ្មគឺជាប្រព័ន្ធចម្រុះដ៏សំខាន់

សំណាង : អួយ! សប្បាយចិត្តដល់ហើយ ពេលបានមកលេងសមុទ្រម្តងៗ!

Math Formulars

When it’s come to a point that WE all need to know these math formulas. It is not required to be memorized but it better to get a sense of how to calculate them.

Static equilibrium Problem

Static equilibrium: A 7 kg sign is hung up with two cables, with each cable at a 40-degree angle. What is the force in the cables?

Once again, we are going to solve this problem by balancing the forces
in the y-direction. What can we figure out right away? The force of gravity on
the sign in the downwards direction.
Fg = m ∗ g
Fg = 7kg ∗ 10m/s2 = 70N

The forces acting upward on the sign have to cancel out this 70N downward
force. These upward forces are the y components of each of the diagonal forces.
Because we know the two diagonal forces are equal (the angles are the same),
we know that they split the weight equally. Therefore, the y component of
each must be 35 (35 up + 35 up balances 70 down ). Then, once again, we do
sohcahtoa. The y component is the side opposite to the angle:

sin40 = 35/F
Where F is the diagonal force we are looking for.
F = 35/sin40 = 54.45N

Technology Fashion

I enjoy working with fashion not because it’s fancy but because Cambodia needs to improve its own fashion style. Technology fashions mostly appear in the western countries; a few Cambodian understand how technology might totally change the fashion world while many others don’t even know what technology is due to fashion. NeoDress was made for a night party. Adafruit Flora, NeoPixel LED Light, JavaScript code and sewing skill are all required in this project. As a Liger student, I know how important it is to make a change and take advantage of my opportunity.
