STUDENT MEETING 5/4

Student Meeting 5/4:

This afternoon we spent some time exploring a map of Southeast Asia and plotting our itinerary. It was fun using the "street view" to get a better sense of what our surroundings will be!

We watched a couple of informative videos on the cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia, and began our discussion about the atrocities that occurred during the Khmer Rouge. To further help us understand the significance of this event, our 10th grade traveler, Trey Neagle, and his family graciously purchased a set of books for the group to read prior to our trip. First They Killed My Father is a memoir written by Loung Ung, a survivor of Pol Pot's regime. We would like students to read the book before our departure. A huge thank you to the Neagle family!

Our next student meeting will be next Wednesday, May 11th from 3:20-4:00. Students, please remember to prepare a 5-minute presentation to the group to teach us about your topic.
