Dear friends, I am saddened to report that Teacher Ren, 24, Manager of the Hotel Sections at the Don Bosco Technical School Kep, passed away this morning at 02:00 AM of March 2, 2014 at Kep Commune.

Teacher Soon was ejected several meters while Teacher Ren suffered the biggest impact and was found near the motorbike. Continue reading…
Don Bosco Kep Pet Snake
The reptile weighted 3 kilograms, was 5 meters long and it was tame.
Don Bosco Kep. Last Thursday, February 20, one student of the first year of Hospitality, Mr. Mao (not the one of the photo), captured a huge and beautiful non venous snake at the northern side of the football field. The reptile weighted 3 kilograms and measured up to 5 meters long. The teachers brought it to the Takeo Zoo (50 kilometers at the north of Kep Province,) where it can be protected.
Asking to Mr. Mao, 20, if he was afraid, he said: “I was not afraid and it was very tame… I used to trap snakes at my homeland with my father.” Mr. Mao is the son of farmers in Kompung Trach District, a rural area near Kep.
As the Technical School is located just inside the Kep National Park, it is logic that some wild animals could visit us at the campus. Cambodians are in general brave to catch snakes and they belong even to their own diet. Even some boys were joking to bring the snake to the pot’s kitchen for dinner, but following our slogan “ecology and education for the poor”, we chose to protect the life of this beautiful reptile that now has a new home in a safer place… safe for us and safe for it 
We are searching for more of its relatives inside the campus if probably there are…
