Tom is a boy. Anna is a girl. They walk in the woods at night. It is very dark. The trees are tall and quiet. The wind is cold. Tom has a torch. The light is small, but it helps them see the path.
Anna feels scared. She hears a soft sound. “Did you hear that?” she asks. Tom looks around, but he sees nothing. They walk slowly. The leaves move under their feet.
Suddenly, the torch light shakes. It goes left, then right. A shadow moves behind a tree. Tom stops. Anna holds his arm. They are very still.
The sound comes again. Step… step… step…
“Who is there?” Tom says. No answer.
The torch light shows two small eyes in the dark. They shine like stars. Anna gasps.
Then, a small animal runs away. It is only a fox.
Tom and Anna laugh a little, but their hearts still beat fast.

from bell boy to hotel manager – what a role model
Sam, looking back at a great career, is telling us about his life in tourism and hospitality business.
I started my career as a bell boy. I learned hotel work, helped guests, and worked in a team. I worked hard and was responsible.
Then I worked at the front desk. I was a receptionist and concierge. I spoke with guests every day. I helped them with questions and problems. I used English to talk with international guests. I gave clear information and was polite.
Later, I became a hotel manager. I managed two hotels in Southeast Asia. I ran daily work, led teams, and made sure service was good.
I stayed calm, listened carefully, made good decisions, and focused on guest satisfaction.

Global Dental Relief is an organization. It helps children with dental care. It works in countries like Cambodia. The team visits small villages where people do not have a dentist.
Every year, the organization comes to Cambodia. The dentists and team set up a clinic. They work in schools or community places. Many children come to the clinic. Some children have tooth pain. Some children have never seen a dentist.
The dentists check the children’s teeth. They clean the teeth and fix problems. They take out bad teeth if needed. They also teach children how to brush their teeth. They show how to keep teeth clean every day.
At one clinic this year, more than 1,000 children get care. The clinic is busy. The team works all day to help many children. The children feel better after treatment. They can eat food without pain. They can sleep and study better.
This help is important because many families cannot go to a dentist. Dental care is far away or costs too much. Without help, children can have pain and infection. This can affect their health and daily life.
Global Dental Relief helps children stay healthy. The visits happen every year, so more children can get care and learn good habits for their teeth.
