 "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."

 "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."

 "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.

 "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."

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.

 "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."
