ALUMNI’s THOUGHTS
Vandy Muong, a SEA LMC graduate from Cambodia, shares her learning and experiences with values beyond friendship from SEA LMC 2012.
“Honestly speaking, my first impression about the program was a very gorgeous chance in my life-experience because I learnt a lot of new things (knowledge) from both national and international people. The best reflection that I could not forget about life is learning to like, to live and to love each other as one nation in a short period. Basically, I do love the way I adopt and experience myself with friends in all situation. It shows that we learned to help, to care and to become close friends without violence-communication.
That was not only having best friends, but also we have more relationship beside friends. We are a family as mother, father, sisters and brothers. More than that what I didn’t expected to have it came to me like I have learned four special words; they are values of Life Matters such as Absolute Honesty, Absolute Unselfishness, Absolute Purity and Absolute Love. These words remind of my motivation and commitments until now because I’m always thinking about what I should and shouldn’t do. Moreover, “The value of love really touches my heart” which means I keep my pure heart and good relationship for everyone as my family such as my family, relatives, friends and other people whom I know. From first day until last day of S.E.A LMC, I found that I was growing from zero to hero because of experience sharing and warm family during this course.
To some extent, I know I can be an independent person after I joined this program because I can lead myself to live with other mates, group or people in one community. Totally, I got many big benefits from sharing communities that create more friendship meaning that to make a good relationship between us (Cambodians) and people in each country to become closer and closer as we have forgotten the word discrimination.
Last but not least, I can learn how to lead myself more, how to live with different cultures, how to keep a good network with people whom I love. Besides, I can develop and maintain my life as matters. Only seven day bring me to become a understandable person in society. Fortunately, as I am a former SEA Life Matters Course, I am really appreciated this course since this is the chance for all young generation learn how to define the word “Life, Matters”. Therefore, I may say I am one of many lucky people who can join this amazing course and I hope I can share my experience in this future course in different countries.
All in all, I always keep the good memory in my mind about what we have react with each other both happy and sad time during our 7 days last long as a word “Use Less Gain More”. Especially, I believe that I can transmit this special event to my Cambodian people, especially youth to build up with their capacity and ownership of changing to love peace and justice and I hope to see more powerful participants in our SEA LMC 2013.”
