Man Ny’s family owns half a hectare of farmland, but in recent years, they have not been able to grow rice as their fields have been too flooded. As a result, her parents have had to find work in the village to support the family’s needs. The jobs that Man Ny’s parents have pay very little, and not nearly enough to comfortably support the family, so her parents regularly work two jobs. As Man Ny’s parents are busy at work, it is her responsibility to look after her younger siblings, which makes her often miss school. Even though Man Ny is busy at home and commonly misses school, she never gives up trying and working hard on her studies.
