Welcome to the Writing Blogs

Hello!

My name is Robbie. I teach writing at The Global Child. TGC is a special place for underprivileged Cambodian children. You can find out more here or at my other blog.

I've decided to give all my students blog accounts and release them into the blogosphere. So far the results have been promising; they experienced a great sense of empowerment when the realization sunk in that anyone in the world can read their writing; and that many people want to hear what they have to say.

I'll use this space as a portal to their work and to update readers on their progress, along with musings about teaching written English to young Cambodians. I strongly encourage you to check out their blogs and make comments, I simply ask that you keep the comments PG and the criticism constructive.

Thanks for checking in; come back soon for more!

All the best,
-Robbie
