Villagers Gathered at YOSIMASA

On March 6th, a majority of Tumleap and Tang You villagers gathered at YOSIMASA School. The aim of the convention was to recognize and share the importance of education in the community. Since October 2012, 23 pupils have left YOSIMASA due to family emigration to Thailand or Siem Reap city for job hunting.
Meanwhile, they are not simply aware of the expansion in tourism in the last decade, taking place in Siem Reap city. As of March 2013, over 150 hotels are situated in the city, a big leap when compared to 80 in five years back and 20 in ten years. If children are fluent in foreign languages when they head into the workforce, the odds of being hired for tourism-related jobs will be immensely higher. We sincerely hope that the villagers understand the significance of education and let their children continue their studies at YOSIMASA .
