• How tourists can help people, culture, and nature

Tourists can help people, culture, and nature. When we travel, we should be respectful. It is important to respect local traditions and culture. Tourists should dress properly, speak politely, and ask before taking photos. Learning a few words of the local language is also very good.

Tourists can help local people and the economy. They can stay in small hotels, eat in family restaurants, and buy handicrafts directly from local people. This gives money to the community and helps people live better.

It is also important to protect the environment. Tourists should not waste water or electricity. They should avoid plastic and always throw rubbish in bins. Tourists should never disturb animals or nature. Walking in nature is good, but it is important to stay on the paths.

Responsible tourists make travel better for everyone. They enjoy real experiences, meet friendly people, and help local culture and nature stay safe. If all tourists are careful and respectful, the world becomes a better place to travel.

• from dreams to success – another role model
  

The Shinta Mani Foundation is a non-profit organisation in Cambodia. It helps people in many ways. The Foundation gives young people education and training. At the Hospitality Training School, poor students learn English, computers, and hotel skills. After the course, they can find good jobs in hotels and help their families.

The Foundation also gives support for healthcare. Many families in villages cannot see doctors, so the Foundation provides medical help and dental care for children. Another important part of the work is micro-loans. These are small loans with no interest. They help families start small businesses and earn money.

Meet Bunseng, a young man from Bakong. His father died, so he had to take care of his grandmother and younger brother. He trained in motorbike repair and found work in Siem Reap. His dream was to open his own repair shop at home, so he could support his brother in school. Thanks to the Shinta Mani Foundation’s Business Loan Programme, his dream came true. Now, he runs his own shop, earns a good income, and cares for his family.

This story shows the power of opportunity. With education, health, and loans, the Foundation builds better futures.

• making guests happy

---

I work in a big hotel. My job is housekeeping. I clean rooms every day.

In the morning, we have a small meeting. We talk about the rooms. We talk about the guests. Sometimes guests have special wishes.

After the meeting, I start my work. I go to a room. I make the bed. I clean the floor. I clean the tables. I clean the windows. I check the bathroom. I put new towels, soap, and paper. I look very carefully. Everything must be clean.

During the day, guests call me. They ask for more towels. They ask me to take food away. Sometimes I give guests water or paper.

I also clean the lobby and the hallways. The hotel is very big. I do not work alone. I work with my team. Teamwork is important.

I also check the cleaning things. I look at the soap, the paper, and the towels. If something is missing, I tell my boss.

At the end of the day, I look at the rooms again. Then I put away my tools. My job is hard, but I am happy. I like helping the guests.

My name is Sam. I live in a small town. Every morning I get up at seven o’clock. I eat breakfast, and then I go to school. My school is near my house, so I usually walk. I like my teachers and my friends. We study English, math, and history. I also play football after school.

Right now, I am sitting in my room. I am writing in my notebook. My brother is watching TV in the living room. My mother is cooking dinner in the kitchen. She is making rice and vegetables. My father is reading a newspaper. It is quiet, and everyone is busy.

Last weekend, we visited my grandparents. They live in the countryside. We took the bus there. I played with my cousins in the garden. We ran, played games, and laughed a lot. In the evening, we had dinner together. My grandmother cooked chicken soup, and my grandfather told us funny stories. After dinner, we watched the stars in the sky. It was beautiful and peaceful.

I like my life. Every day is different. Sometimes I study, sometimes I play, and sometimes I travel. I am always happy to learn new things.
