YOUNGSTERS have been learning first hand about life in Cambodia.

Visitor Samuth Mech spent a morning at Gedney Hill Primary School speaking to pupils about the differences between his country and England.

The visit was arranged by Voluntary Service Overseas volunteer Jan Gracey, who has been working in Cambodia to help schools become established there.

Headteacher Lynn Chappell said: “We have been studying contrasting environments and Samuth’s visit was an ideal opportunity for the children to learn about a different country.

“Samuth is a teacher and was very keen to find out as much as possible about schools in England.”Samuth is also a watercolour artist and took some of his paintings into the school to show the children.
