After the rice season her parents go to forest for hunting etc…, they can earn about 5000 Riels ($1.25) a day. Sok Reang did not go to school regularly because her house is far away from school, lack of transportation, and doesn’t afford for her education.

In the future she wants to be an accountant because she wants to work in big companies and earn money to help her family, and save some money to open her own business to make her life better.
