Soth Saran (22), student on Community Development Course.

"I find the Community Development course very interesting. I chose this course because Cambodia is a very poor country, and if I learn skills from this course I will be able to return to the rural areas to help the people. At the end of the course, if I understand everything that I am taught, I will get a job in the development field. I come from Kampot Province, from a small village. I have five brothers and sisters. In Phnom Penh I stay with other girls in a rented house provided by Caritas. The boys stay at the Youth Centre."
