I'm sure, it's need to be take time before you get to know them very well"

Mit Mo Den Chan, a representative of the Mon ethnicity said, "This is my first time that I have had a chance to learn among the large different ethnic groups like this. The most beautiful colors among the different ethnic groups are making me more understanding of the different ethnicity." "The most important things that I really want to learn from them are their skills and their own experiences as I'm a new student and at the same time I will also exchange my own too as much as possible while we are in TPC school." she added.
