| On going to school: | “I just started going to
school a month ago. I can
understand Khmer when people use it, but I cannot speak it.
I use Tompuon every day. My
parents gave me a notebook and pencil to use at school.
Since then I have used four pages of the book.
I prefer this school building to the old one because it has
tables and there is much light.”
[Ratanakkiri is home to many of Cambodia’s ethnic minorities.
One of the problems with schooling there is finding qualified
teachers who speak the local languages.
It is also one of the poorest areas in Cambodia.]

| On her future: | “When I grow up I want to be a
nurse or doctor. As a
doctor I can help people, and I will work in an office, not in the
fields.”

| Message for Toshu Fukami: | “I would like to thank Toshu Fukami for building a new concrete building for me to study in.” |
