 "I live in this floating village and have been selling snacks to tourist on a boat for 6 years. Since I was young, I always like selling. I grew up in a big family and have 8 other siblings. My mother was a single parent and worked hard to bring us all up. Because my family was poor, I had to stop school in Grade 3. I learned my English from the many tourists I met and I am happy. If I had lots of money, I would buy a bigger boat. My dream is to see my children finish high school and be educated."

 "I am 2 years old and I love eating biscuits. My favourite colour is red and I love playing with water." This little girl's mother dream is to see her becoming a teacher one day.
 "With 8 other siblings, my parents are not rich but we get by. I have a daughter and a son, and I love my family. In fact, I have a happy life! I have been running this roadside store for 15 years and each day I can make around $12. I think I am clever as I also have 10 cows, which I lease them out to others for farming during the day. My son helps me taking care of the cows when they come home in the late afternoon. I used to dream to become a teacher but now my dream is to build a nice house for my family."
 "I am 4 years old and just started going to school. School is fun! I am the only child and I live with my parents and grandmother who takes me to school everyday. Red is my favorite colour and I love riding my bike at free time. If you ask me about my dream? I can only tell you that 'I don't know'."
 "When I was 13, I almost died from illness. For a period of 3 months, I had to bed rest and my father was looking after me all that time. I dreamed of seeing a crowd of people on slippery mud. They shouted for help as they were falling from a tall bridge and I was warning them to be careful. I could never forget about this dream! ...
 "When I was young, I never had any dreams as it was war time. Now, my dream is to be part of the political party as I want to help my country. I am 58 years old and a tuk tuk driver in the city of Siem Reap. Although I only completed grade 4 at school, I am proud of my achievements in life. I was a farmer most of my life and it was tough because farming is hard work. I am glad to save up enough money for a tuk tuk 5 years ago and now I can enjoy having my own business and its freedom. I live a happy life and I have a lovely wife and 8 grandchildren to play with."
 "When tourists come to my village, they always visit the school. There is way I go and ask for my dollar. Sometimes I get a dollar, sometimes I don't. I am 9 years old and studying in grade 1. Both of my parents are fishermen. I like playing soccer and support all Khmer teams. When I grow up, I want to be a professional soccer player too. If I have lots of money, I would like to buy a nice car."
 "This BBQ food store is a couple of kilometers away from my home and I normally walk here and back. I come here 3 times a week because my daughter is married to the family. I am a rice farmer and have 6 children. I don't have enough money to keep all my children in school and only 1 of them is studying now. Very often, I have this serious headache and I can not bear with the pain sometime. I don't visit the doctor as it costs money, however, if tourists give me medicine and I will take them."
 "I am 5 years old and have 2 other brothers. My father sells juices in the village and my mother helps him. I like eating sweets and my favourite colour is red. When I have free time, I have to do some housework such as cooking rice and washing the dishes. My dream is to join the police one day."
 "My dream is to have a travel agency and be my own boss. Actually, I am already my own boss for 4 years when I borrowed $1,500 from the bank to buy my tuk tuk. I like being my own boss as there is so much freedom and
