The Marais Family School
Veng Salos is a 16-year-old 5th grade student of The Marais Family School, he ranks number one among his 20 classmates. He has six siblings and he is the oldest child in his family. His parents are farmers. His father is also a motor-taxi driver when he has free time, so he can earn extra money to support the family.
“I like computer and Math classes because it is easy for me to do home work and do calculation. I also help my parent to calculate, because sometime they need my help,” Veng Salos said.
“When I have free time I climb up the mountain to find some fire wood for cooking or catch some fish in the rice field,” he added.
“When I grow up I want to be a teacher because I see that my teacher looks handsome and I want children to learn how to read and how to write to get rid of illiteracy,” he said when asked about his future ambitious.
