How a small village turns a problem plant into beautiful crafts and stronger families.


Check out PRESENT SIMPLE first.

---

The Shinta Mani Foundation helps women in a small village. These women want a better life for their families. The Foundation gave them a loan with no interest. This means they can borrow money and pay it back later without extra cost.

The women use water hyacinth, a plant that grows too much and blocks rivers. They turn this plant into beautiful, eco-friendly bags. This helps the environment by using a plant that would be a problem.

Making and selling the bags gives the women money. They use the money to send their children to school, buy food, go to the doctor, and fix their homes. The work also helps the women stay close and support each other.

The women use traditional weaving skills. These skills come from their families and culture. The bags are strong and pretty. Many people who care about nature want to buy them.

This project helps the women and the environment. It gives the women confidence and independence. Buying these bags helps both the planet and the people.

• When a child, Dara’s dream was to become a teacher, now he is, teaching youngsters in the Shinta Mani Foundation class.
  We are looking back at the days of his childhood.

He lived in a small village in Cambodia. His parents were farmers. Dara helped them in the fields every day.

Every morning, Dara went to school. He walked or rode his bike. The road to school was long. Dara liked the fresh air and the green trees. Sometimes, he saw birds and butterflies on the way.

Dara’s school was small. There were many children in the classroom. The school had simple desks and chairs. Dara listened to the teacher and learned new things every day.

Dara liked to learn reading, writing, and math. He paid attention in class. Dara’s favorite time was when he played with his friends during the break. They ran, laughed, and had fun together.

Dara was happy to go to school every day. He wanted to learn more and help his family. Dara dreamed to be a teacher when he grew up. He wanted to teach other children in his village.

Sareth about his time when he started his career, when he was a bartender in a five-star resort in Siem Reap:

I worked as a bartender in a hotel. I believed I was a great bartender because I was friendly and approachable. When guests arrived at the bar, I always greeted them with a warm smile and made them feel welcome. I liked to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere where people could enjoy their time.

I knew a lot about drinks, such as cocktails, beers, and wines. If a guest was not sure what to order, I could recommend something they would enjoy. I listened carefully to their order and made sure I prepared the drink exactly as they wanted it.

I worked quickly and stayed organized. Even during busy times, I managed many orders at once and still kept the bar clean. I liked to talk to customers, make them laugh, and keep the mood lively.

I also served drinks responsibly. If a guest had had enough, I knew how to stop serving politely. I was good at solving problems and making sure guests left happy.

I paid attention to small details, like the garnish, the glass, and the way the drink looked. I worked well with my team, and together we gave the best service possible. For me, being a great bartender meant more than making drinks—it meant creating a special experience for every guest.

##########################

---

I loved working in tourism, especially in a hotel. There were three main reasons why I enjoyed my job.

The first reason was that I met people from all over the world. Every day, guests came from different countries. They told me about their lives and cultures. I liked talking with them and learning new things. Sometimes they taught me words in their language. Sometimes they told me about their hometowns. It made my day exciting.

The second reason was that my job was never boring. Each day was different. One day I helped guests with their travel plans. Another day I organized small events. Sometimes I solved problems. I liked finding solutions and making guests happy. Every situation was new, and that kept my work interesting.

The third reason was my team. I worked with friendly and helpful colleagues. We supported each other and shared ideas. We made sure everything in the hotel ran well. It felt good to be part of a strong team.

These three reasons—meeting people, having different days, and working with a great team—made tourism the best job for me.

-three main reasons why she enjoys her job

---

My name is Chantrea, and I love working in tourism, especially in a hotel. There are three main reasons why I enjoy my job.

The first reason is that I meet people from all over the world. Every day, guests come from different countries, and they tell me about their lives and cultures. I like talking with them and learning new things. Sometimes they teach me words in their language, and sometimes they tell me about their hometowns. It makes my day exciting.

The second reason is that my job is never boring. Each day is different. One day I help guests with their travel plans, another day I organize small events, and sometimes I solve problems. I like finding solutions and making sure guests are happy. Every situation is new, and that keeps my work interesting.

The third reason is my team. I work with friendly and helpful colleagues. We support each other, share ideas, and make sure everything in the hotel runs well. It feels good to be part of a strong team.

These three reasons—meeting people, having different days, and working with a great team—make tourism the best job for me.

• a unique jungle resort in Cambodia that saves wildlife and supports local people

Shinta Mani Wild is a resort in the jungle of Cambodia. It is in the Cardamom Mountains,

a place with waterfalls, rivers, and many animals. The idea of this resort is very special. It is not only for luxury holidays, but also to protect nature and help local people.

Before the resort was built, this land had many problems. People cut down trees and hunted animals. The owners wanted to save this area, so they made a private wildlife sanctuary. Now rangers protect the forest every day. The money from guests helps pay for these rangers and for other nature projects.

The resort also helps people from nearby villages. Many workers are local and get training for new jobs. Some were hunters before and now work to save animals instead. This gives them money and a better life.

Guests can stay in large tents near the river. They can join activities like jungle walks, kayaking, and even patrols with rangers. The resort uses eco‑friendly designs to keep nature safe.

The main concept of Shinta Mani Wild is to mix tourism with conservation. Guests enjoy nature, and at the same time, they help protect it and support local communities.

The Shinta Mani Foundation is in Cambodia. It helps poor families in the countryside. The Foundation gives training, houses, clean water, and solar lights to people who need them.

Rice for Cambodia is a partner. It gives rice and other help to many families every month. Both groups work together and make life better for many people.

Try to imagine the joy that ten families feel this week. No candle light anymore, they turn on a light in their home for the first time in their lives. Now each house has solar panels on the roof. Inside the house there are three lights. The family can also charge their phone. This makes life much easier. Children can study in the evening. Parents can work or cook when it is dark.

We thank Rice for Cambodia and every donor. Their kindness makes a big change in people’s lives. Every gift helps a family. With solar lights and rice, families feel safe and happy. They have hope for the future. The Shinta Mani Foundation and Rice for Cambodia continue this work every day. They bring light and hope to the countryside.

A brief summary of SOLAR POWER:

Solar power comes from sunlight.
Solar panels change sunlight into electricity.
A solar panel has many small parts called solar cells.
These cells are made from a material called silicon.
When sunlight hits the cells, it makes a flow of energy.
This flow is called electricity.
The electricity goes through wires to the house.
People can use it for lights, phones, or other things.
If there is more electricity than needed, it can be saved in batteries. Solar power is clean and does not make pollution.
It is very useful in the countryside, where there are no power lines.
Families can have light and charge phones without fuel or big machines.

I worked at a spa in a nice resort in Siem Reap. Every day, I helped guests and made them feel welcome. The spa was quiet and calm, with soft music and nice smells from natural oils and herbs.

I started my day by cleaning the rooms and getting everything ready for the guests. When they arrived, I greeted them with a smile and told them about the treatments we had.

The spa offered many services to help people relax and feel good. We did traditional massages with soft pressure and natural oils. These massages helped the body relax and feel better. We also did body scrubs with fresh fruit and salt. This made the skin soft and clean. Another service was hot stone therapy, where warm stones helped muscles feel relaxed.

Guests could get facials with natural ingredients like ginger and turmeric. We used warm and cool stones on the face to make the skin healthy and fresh.

There were also special spa packages that included massage, scrub, facial, and foot care. Guests liked these long treatments very much.

At the end of the day, I helped guests feel happy and calm. I enjoyed working there because I met many people from different countries.
