At the moment Kampot Khmer GC is frankly very stressful, we are currently in the midst of planning the 2020-2021 Talent Quest and although it is a lot of work I am confident that it is going to bet the best one yet. this year we are taking extra initiative to work with the school community to facilitate more participation and hopefully more awareness of what our GC does!

As a first time Chair of the GC it is hard to ever feel fully adapted to the requirements of the job.

The last time that I had reflected on Kampot Khmer I expressed a fear of working with people I am not familiar with and I must say that it is far less intimidating after a month of two, all of the members are extremely nice and hardworking and more importantly they are unexpectedly enthusiastic about helping me and the service group! I am really glad to have had such a great group and I am confident they will continue to work hard and make this event a success.

To conclude, I believe that it is important to share that the most important lesson I could have learned from this GC so far is to NEVER be afraid to ask for help and always be open to constructive criticism, it sure has helped me a lot!
