• her dream came true, she remembers that time

via #ShintaManiFoundation

Sophea is in her 40ies now, and she remembers the time with the Shinta Mani Foundation.

---

Joining the Shinta Mani Foundation class when 18 was a great idea because it gave me a chance to learn new skills and meet people from different places. The Foundation then helped young people like me to grow and achieve our dreams.

By joining the class, I got a good education, which opened doors to better job opportunities in the future. I also learned important life skills, such as teamwork and leadership. This experience helped me build confidence and feel more ready for the future.

The Shinta Mani Foundation then supported students in a caring and safe environment, so I had the chance to grow in many ways. It was an exciting and life-changing opportunity that helped me make a positive impact on my life and the lives of others.

When I was a child, I loved going to school. Every morning I was happy to see my teacher and my friends. I said learning was very important. It helped people know more and do good things in life.

At school, I learned to read, write, and count. I enjoyed reading books because they told me new stories and gave me new ideas. When I opened a book, I felt I was traveling to another world. I thought learning was like growing a tree. Every day the tree became bigger and stronger.

I also dreamed about the future. I wanted to be a teacher one day. I wanted to help children learn, just like my teachers helped me. I believed that learning could make my family and my village better.

My parents always told me to keep learning and never stop. They said knowledge was something nobody could take away from me. I felt very happy every time I learned something new.

I also spoke with my younger brother, Ben. I told him that learning was fun and that he would like school, too.

I smiled because I knew learning would help me do great things in my life.
