Couples Teaches Cambodian Kids to Say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

So a couple in UK, Mathieu Cuvelier and Lucy Crook, decided they needed to travel the world (where do people get the money and time to just up and leave like this?) and one of their stops was a rural Cambodian school where they spent three weeks volunteering as English teachers. So what was their big achievement in that three week period? Apparently, monumental. They taught the kids how to say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Great. Hopefully, they taught them some more useful English words too.

Of course, this being a “seeded” video, it’s all for a cause. Cuvelier and Crook are calling attention to the non-profit About Asia Schools, an organization that aims to “provide fair and regular employment to local guides and to benefit the most needy children of Cambodia.”

Cuvelier and Cook have a blog (‘natch) on which you can read about their experinces in Cambodia and elswhere.

Someone who skips the seasonal décor every year may not be indifferent to the holiday itself, they may simply be opting out of a display aimed more at whoever walks past than at anyone who actually lives there.
