Other children are playing soccer in uniforms on a huge dirt field. Some enjoy the playground. A naked baby stands before a swing, perplexed as to how to work it. A few busy themselves in the arts hut, painting or carving elaborate wooden musical instruments like the take and the kail. This is where Nep Phem likes to spend his time.
