    Some thoughts:

    I think English is a very important language. Many people in the world speak English.
    When we work in tourism, we meet many tourists. Many tourists speak English. When we speak English, we can talk with them. We can help them find a room. We can help them take a car or a bus.
    Tourists feel happy when they understand us. When we speak English, we can get a better job. We can work in hotels, restaurants, and travel places. We can also work in other countries. We can get more money.
    English helps us every day at work. English is good for us and for the tourists. This is why I want to learn English.
    And so does her friend, Rina.

    Maya and life on a weekend

    Maya is a young girl. She lives with her parents in the countryside. The air is fresh, and the nature around her house is green and quiet.

    On weekends, Maya sleeps a little longer in the morning. She does not need to go to school. After breakfast, she helps her father and mother. Sometimes she helps in the garden. She waters the flowers and feeds the chickens.

    Later, she plays with her friends near the house. They run, laugh, and play games together. Maya likes this time very much.

    In the afternoon, she does her homework. She learns new words and writes sentences. Maya also learns for school. She wants to speak good English. She reads easy English books. She also listens to English texts.

    Maya knows that listening is very important. The ear and brain must get used to the sounds. She listens again and again. Step by step, she understands more.

    In the evening, she sits with her parents. They talk about the day. Maya feels happy and safe. She loves her weekends in the countryside. She works, plays, and learns — and every week, she becomes better at English.

    Meet CHHORB Sarea, a 19-year-old from Angkor Thom District, Siem Reap. Her family is very poor. Her father works as a farmer and a construction worker. He earns only 10 USD a day. Her mother makes baskets to help the family. They live in a small house made of leaves and zinc. It is not strong, and they often do not have enough food.

    Sarea has a hard life, but she does not give up. She studies every day and becomes the first person in her family to finish high school. She wants to go to university, but she has no money. She feels sad and thinks her dream is over. Then she learns about the Shinta Mani Foundation.

    She joins the Culinary Arts Program and finds her love for cooking. The Foundation gives her help and hope. Today, she works as a casual staff for three months at Shinta Mani Hotel. She is very happy and thankful to the Foundation and the kind donors who support her.
