1- Motivational class.
Collaborating with the Khmer teacher at Baphnom High School, we designed an inspiring session for the 12th-grade students. Our objective was to provide students with clear insights into the diverse pathways available to them after high school graduation. We emphasized the importance of setting achievable goals, avoiding laziness, and seeking support from teachers, family, and friends.

2- Trip to Phnom Penh
Royal Palace & Tuol Sleng Museum.
Following the session, we organized a trip to the capital, where we toured significant sites such as the Royal Palace and the Genocide Museum. As we delved into the profound and somber history, the stories shared within the museum deeply affected some students, moving them to tears. The impactful and harrowing narratives highlighted the atrocities of the genocide period, during which the intellectual population was targeted and killed due to their perceived threat to the regime. This firsthand encounter with history left a lasting impression on the students, underscoring the importance of remembrance and understanding in shaping our collective future.

3- Survey process.
Upon returning to the school, along with a few teachers, we conducted a survey with all 12th-grade classes at Baphnom High School. This crucial initiative provided us with valuable insights into the students' experiences throughout their journey from grade 7th to 12th. We sought to understand how they perceived this journey, how they felt about it, what memories they cherished, and what aspects of their behavior they were proud of or disappointed in.
