The First Steps School Grand Opening Day was held on Tuesday 28th June 2011 and was a successful morning with over 400 people attending, including overseas guests, Cambodian honorary guests and members of the local community.
The morning program consisted of speeches by Mr So Sok and Miss Rachel Merchant the co-directors of Stepping Stones Cambodia, Mr Doug Shobbrook, director of Harvest Cambodia and Mr Evon Pov, Siem Reap Town deputy leader. Following speeches each First Steps student was presented with a gift of a book, pen and pencil, the planting of a tree, a school tour and the official cutting of the ribbon.
It marked a very special day for the Stepping Stones team, as it showed the growing support we have from the village leader, the community of Kok Thnot and the surrounding villages.
We would like to thank all involved in the Grand Opening Day especially our dedicated team that worked so hard to make this day one to always remember.
