NOCC continues to promote the Olympic values and campaign of Cambodia towards the Asian Youth Games 2029 to Students at Russey Keo High School

The National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) on November 26, 2024, continued to organize an educational program and promotion of the values ​​of the Olympic Games to many students at Russey Keo High School, taught by H.E. Buy Sophoan, Advisor to the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia.

The program, in addition to instilling knowledge and promoting the history and philosophy of the Olympic Games to students, also promoted Cambodia’s campaign towards the host of the 5th Asian Youth Games in 2029, after successfully promoting Cambodia towards the SEA Games-ASEAN Para Games 2023 in previous years.

Along with the sharing of knowledge and experiences, students have become more aware of the benefits of playing sports. In fact, a student Thi Dona has shown the positive effects of playing sports, contributing to strengthening the mind in better studies and healthy as well as strengthening friendships and solidarity.

The same 7th grade student at Russey Keo Secondary School continued that: Playing sports can help relieve stress and stay away from engaging in other hateful social activities, such as keep away from drugs. In fact, personally, playing sports has helped me relax, relieve boredom, and relieve stress. So when I am free from studying, I always play sports such as badminton and other sports.

Donna continued: “My parent are happy because in my free time, I don’t play my phone and I keep to play sports so that I can refresh and relieve stress from studying. In general, playing sports makes me feel refreshed and relaxed, but if I don’t play sports, my body feels heavy. So I encourage all students try to play sports, but don’t forget or give up on studying. Work hard both in studying and taking time to play sports.”
