on
a remote mountain in cambodia
there is a school built on trash
lots and lots of trash
and that's not even the shocking part
because
here trash is also used as
money and it's probably the only place
in the world
where trash can be more valuable than
money but before i get into that let me
introduce you to the founder
hi nastali i am one day i build the
world for school of trust
oak didn't start out as a teacher years
ago
he was just a hotel manager when one day
he visited a popular tourist spot in the
mountains
and what he saw there was shocking
instead of
trees and lakes he saw trash instead of
families enjoying the day
he saw kids selling souvenirs kids
who should have been in school
i went to kirirom national park and i
could not believe my eyes
i knew about the problem but i didn't
realize
it was this series and that's when he
had a crazy idea
what if he took all this trash put it
together
and built a school it was insane he
didn't know how it would work
the mountain don't have any electric
city
any water there was even a lot of snake
a lot of snake but ook was so passionate
about this crazy idea
that he quit his job dropped everything
he knew
and moved to the mountains and he
started collecting
trash after trash after trash he used
plastic bottles as
walls old car tires as
chairs and empty petrol cans
as lockers
he even went one step further and
involved
the local kids to help gather trash
bit by bit oaks school began to take
shape
and four years and countless of pieces
of trash later
his school was finished he called it
coconut school
i made sure i built the rest of the
finisher with
material that are friendly to the
environment
it has computers internet and even
electricity
from solar panels a good opportunity for
the
young generation to understand to love
the world more than love yourself
because the world is ourselves and the
craziest thing
is at his school students do not pay
a single penny to learn they pay
with trash they are poor they don't have
much money to pay
they have to bring the garbage every
month for their free school
and with all this rubbish he built even
more tables
more rooms and even a coffee shop nearby
where you can get a cup of coffee and
help fund
this school with money or trash
with this idea poor kids can get an
education
and the environment gets cleaner
this guy single-handedly built a whole
school
cleaned a mountain and taught a whole
generation
to become better all out of trash
teachers like oak are the reason the
future
is bright
