1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,459 I had to go plow the rice this morning. My field and my hut are to the north. 2 00:00:07,459 --> 00:00:15,133 I was plowing from 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM. 3 00:00:15,872 --> 00:00:22,192 I plow by myself using buffalos. I don’t have a walking tractor. 4 00:00:22,192 --> 00:00:24,264 How big is your rice field? 5 00:00:24,418 --> 00:00:28,248 I haven’t finished plowing it yet. 6 00:00:28,248 --> 00:00:29,868 It’s 2 hectors. 7 00:00:29,868 --> 00:00:35,754 I haven’t finished plowing that rice field yet because it’s too big. 8 00:00:35,754 --> 00:00:38,370 I’m finishing it tomorrow. 9 00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:44,112 When I was in the 10th and 11th grade, 10 00:00:44,112 --> 00:01:01,234 the school was too far away so I rode a bicycle to school. I left home at 6 AM. School started at 7 AM. 11 00:01:01,234 --> 00:01:19,667 It was quite tiring because I had to leave home to go to school early in the morning. I would arrive home at 1 PM. It was rather hard. 12 00:01:19,667 --> 00:01:28,240 My friends whose houses were far away from the school thought the same way I did 13 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,135 but for those whose houses were close to the school, they thought we were good at cycling 14 00:01:35,135 --> 00:01:42,951 because we could cycle a long distance from home to school early in the morning. 15 00:01:45,375 --> 00:01:58,172 Back when I was in school, I could meet new friends and we could communicate to one another. 16 00:01:58,172 --> 00:02:05,901 More importantly, we could receive knowledge there. 17 00:02:09,628 --> 00:02:27,786 We were happy because we had many friends. We could meet, talk, and joke together. 18 00:02:29,577 --> 00:02:39,621 We had to take extra classes as well, but we couldn’t take them because the extra classes were held in the classrooms. 19 00:02:41,833 --> 00:02:51,654 We had to leave school to come home right away. We would arrive home at 1 PM. 20 00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:58,431 What were the extra classes like? Did you have to pay? 21 00:02:58,868 --> 00:03:00,985 We all had to pay. 22 00:03:01,452 --> 00:03:04,236 In every extra class subject that we studied, we had to pay. 23 00:03:04,763 --> 00:03:16,303 At the time, there was an organization hiring teachers to come teach English in that village. 24 00:03:16,522 --> 00:03:27,236 I didn’t get to study, though, because there were only accepting students below 10th grade. 25 00:03:27,236 --> 00:03:37,302 I didn’t even know the organization was selecting students. 26 00:03:38,362 --> 00:03:44,984 I quit school because my knees was starting to hurt. 27 00:03:45,222 --> 00:03:51,936 Besides, I was young so I didn’t know the importance of going to school. 28 00:03:52,618 --> 00:04:00,807 I had to get treatment for my knees. The pain lasted 2 to 3 years. 29 00:04:01,609 --> 00:04:14,539 It still hasn’t completely healed yet. It’s joint pain. I have spent quite a lot of money for the treatment. 30 00:04:14,539 --> 00:04:20,236 I’ve had to sell cows and buffalos to get the treatment. 31 00:04:20,236 --> 00:04:22,511 I even had to get injections. 32 00:04:22,511 --> 00:04:27,056 I was scared because I was told that it wouldn’t heal. They were going to amputate me. 33 00:04:27,056 --> 00:04:31,153 I felt frightened. 34 00:04:31,153 --> 00:04:44,129 When I was sick, I was told that there was someone else who had the same pain in the knee that I did, and he had to have it amputated. 35 00:04:44,129 --> 00:04:51,648 I was frightened. I tried to find another treatment that doesn’t involve amputation. 36 00:04:51,648 --> 00:04:55,938 I had to use expensive medication. One injection cost around 10 dollars. 37 00:04:55,938 --> 00:05:07,385 My family couldn’t afford that so I had to sell my cows and buffalos to get my treatment. 38 00:05:08,385 --> 00:05:22,064 My doctor charges me a lot of money. I’ve been told that this illness can’t be healed. Even up to now, my knees still hurt somehow. 39 00:05:22,834 --> 00:05:24,637 Has anyone contacted you? 40 00:05:24,997 --> 00:05:29,163 No, no one has taken me to get treated. I’ve had to go get the treatment myself. 41 00:05:30,466 --> 00:05:39,786 I had to use my own money and borrowed from other people because I couldn’t earn enough money. 42 00:05:41,532 --> 00:05:53,942 When I got the 10-dollar injection, the doctor told me that it would heal. 43 00:05:54,272 --> 00:06:01,032 Although the swelling went down, I wasn’t able to walk. 44 00:06:01,859 --> 00:06:10,019 I had about traditional medicine being advertised on the radio, so I went to buy it. 45 00:06:11,212 --> 00:06:19,372 I felt better after taking the medicine, so I’ve been taking it till now, but it’s not fully healed yet. 46 00:06:20,254 --> 00:06:22,784 When did they start hurting? 47 00:06:23,188 --> 00:06:30,166 They started hurting quite a while back – since I was in school, in 2009. 48 00:06:32,049 --> 00:06:36,551 They’ve been hurting since. I couldn’t walk. 49 00:06:36,972 --> 00:06:52,055 I wanted to quit school. I wasn’t learning anything and my knees hurt. 50 00:06:53,610 --> 00:07:02,709 I couldn’t catch up with the rest of the class and my legs hurt, so I quit. I didn’t feel any regrets. 51 00:07:03,514 --> 00:07:10,525 Though I feel some regrets now. 52 00:07:11,355 --> 00:07:14,815 What did you parents, friends and neighbors said when your legs hurt and everyone else is going to school? 53 00:07:16,925 --> 00:07:22,764 They said it was a shame because I had studied that far. 54 00:07:23,003 --> 00:07:28,940 When I told them that my legs hurt, they thought about it based on what they see. 55 00:07:28,940 --> 00:07:34,821 No, because it was far. I told my friends to tell my teacher. 56 00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:42,119 I also gave my friends the books that the school lent me so that they could return them. 57 00:07:42,119 --> 00:07:48,938 The teachers didn’t come to ask any questions. It might have been because the school was too far away. 58 00:07:48,938 --> 00:07:53,388 The reason why I quit school was because of my family condition. 59 00:07:54,978 --> 00:08:11,760 After my legs got better, I didn’t go back to school; I helped earn money to support my family because we’re not rich. 60 00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:21,557 Sometimes we have trouble making ends meet. 61 00:08:21,557 --> 00:08:31,896 Besides, I was young; I didn’t think too much about studying. 62 00:08:31,896 --> 00:08:33,935 I had to let it be. 63 00:08:36,295 --> 00:08:46,472 It was tough for my family because we had to sell our belongings to get money, and we owed people money. 64 00:08:46,472 --> 00:08:49,324 It felt— 65 00:08:49,324 --> 00:08:50,266 I don't know 66 00:08:52,316 --> 00:08:59,988 At that time, all of us were having a hard time. It was tough for our family. 67 00:08:59,988 --> 00:09:11,700 We didn’t have money to spend and a family member was sick. We were facing my problems. 68 00:09:12,557 --> 00:09:14,797 Why? 69 00:09:17,273 --> 00:09:27,575 I thought it was the right decision to quit school because I was absent for a long time and I had this illness. 70 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:35,608 I thought it was right to not go back to school because I was scared of going back 71 00:09:35,608 --> 00:09:38,796 I was embarrassed. 72 00:09:38,796 --> 00:09:43,716 I couldn’t go back after being absent for that long. 73 00:09:44,221 --> 00:09:51,632 Therefore, I stopped going back. I thought it was the right decision, but I don’t think it now. 74 00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:59,798 No one encouraged me to go back to school after my long absence. 75 00:10:02,254 --> 00:10:08,628 My parents didn’t let me go to school because I was out for quite a long time. 76 00:10:09,443 --> 00:10:19,228 My neighbors said I shouldn’t have quit school because I’d gone that far. 77 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:27,655 hey said if I had stayed in school, I would have gotten a high position job. 78 00:10:27,655 --> 00:10:30,446 That’s what they told me when I saw them. 79 00:10:30,446 --> 00:10:33,958 I didn’t feel like going back to school when I had just quit and my knees were hurting. 80 00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:39,519 It was because I had been absent for a long time. 81 00:10:40,148 --> 00:10:46,039 When I was in school, I wasn’t an outstanding student. 82 00:10:47,534 --> 00:10:53,581 My study was quite poor because I couldn’t attend class as regularly as the others. 83 00:10:54,645 --> 00:11:00,389 I wasn’t able to catch up. I wasn’t an outstanding student; my performance was rather poor. 84 00:11:00,889 --> 00:11:12,445 I liked hanging out at the time. I was young, so I went out at night and I didn’t go to school. 85 00:11:12,445 --> 00:11:21,352 Besides, I didn’t get certain subjects so I skipped classes, and that made me not know those subjects even more. 86 00:11:21,352 --> 00:11:33,908 I didn’t study hard when I was in the lower grades, so it was hard when I got into higher grades. 87 00:11:34,918 --> 00:11:42,798 Whatever you do, you need a strong foundation. I didn’t study hard when I was in elementary school. 88 00:11:43,478 --> 00:11:56,019 When I got into high school, I was lost. I didn’t want to go to school, so my study had become poor ever since. 89 00:11:57,467 --> 00:12:06,287 I was embarrassed because I couldn’t catch up. That along with my illness pushed me to quit school. 90 00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:13,362 I’ve participated since 2010. I quit in 2006. 91 00:12:16,647 --> 00:12:27,512 I joined the center as a volunteer in 2010. They were selecting people, and I applied. 92 00:12:29,612 --> 00:12:35,295 I’ve joined and other organizations know me so they contacted me to go to trainings. 93 00:12:35,295 --> 00:12:38,344 The trainings included topics like health and village agriculture. 94 00:12:38,344 --> 00:12:44,331 There weren’t as many organizations as there are now. 95 00:12:44,331 --> 00:12:50,160 I got to know other organizations through my participation, and I learned about social work. 96 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:58,004 I asked to become a volunteer and I’ve been doing social work ever since. 97 00:12:59,918 --> 00:13:13,947 I’ve done social work with all the organizations because I think it’s very beneficial for my community. 98 00:13:13,947 --> 00:13:24,439 When I work with the organizations, I’m also helping my community by gaining knowledge from those organizations. 99 00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:31,953 I’ve done some work with organizations such as promoting human rights. 100 00:13:31,953 --> 00:13:39,656 I was asked to gather the villagers to share what I’ve learned to them. 101 00:13:42,953 --> 00:13:52,672 Some people in the village know me as a volunteer in organizations. 102 00:13:54,202 --> 00:14:09,762 Although I don’t get any salary, I’m very happy because even if I can’t be a big help to society, I can still do whatever I can do help. 103 00:14:11,485 --> 00:14:19,047 It’s a good and right thing to do because what we’re doing is legal. We’re not doing anything illegal. 104 00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:25,407 I think I will continue my volunteer work. 105 00:14:26,337 --> 00:14:33,308 I hope my community will receive good things 106 00:14:35,778 --> 00:14:46,768 and I hope that our volunteer work will help the community change the bad points to good points. 107 00:14:48,458 --> 00:15:04,141 We won’t continue forever. We will eventually have to stop. There are more and more young people now. 108 00:15:04,141 --> 00:15:09,091 They will have to take over what we’ve done. 109 00:15:11,147 --> 00:15:14,883 Where will you go if they take over what you’ve done? 110 00:15:15,324 --> 00:15:25,813 We will stop. It’s not that we will stop completely; we will join them once in a while. 111 00:15:28,082 --> 00:15:34,333 We can advise them based on what we’ve done – telling them the right way to do things. 112 00:15:35,441 --> 00:15:48,611 After not going to school for so long and seeing my friends learning and being educated 113 00:15:49,213 --> 00:16:01,050 I thought it would be good to do something good for the community through the various organizations that come here. 114 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,712 The organizations call us to go to meetings. 115 00:16:07,146 --> 00:16:15,017 They call people to go to meetings. I knew them, and they were looking for volunteers at the time so I asked them to be a volunteer. 116 00:16:16,036 --> 00:16:31,077 It’s not just me. The organizations let you be a volunteer as long as you do it. They tell you to create groups in the village or call people to meet up. 117 00:16:31,944 --> 00:16:40,114 After doing it, we just write a report for them; that way, they gain their trust towards us. 118 00:16:42,827 --> 00:16:48,500 They’ll continue their work with us. The important thing is to complete the tasks that they give you. 119 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:51,783 The tasks are not difficult. 120 00:16:52,279 --> 00:17:00,789 They know that you’re in a community and your knowledge is limited; therefore, they give you tasks according to your ability. 121 00:17:00,789 --> 00:17:08,418 Sometimes the organizations tell you to train youth groups about violence and conflicts. That’s how we get to know them. 122 00:17:08,418 --> 00:17:12,270 When my legs were hurting, my friends understood. 123 00:17:12,270 --> 00:17:18,142 They knew that I wasn’t able to continue going to school because I couldn’t travel to school. 124 00:17:19,306 --> 00:17:45,066 They understood. They felt regret that I quit school. 125 00:17:50,756 --> 00:18:01,927 Some of my friends felt sympathetic that I was sick and had to spend a lot of money. 126 00:18:03,655 --> 00:18:22,374 That’s my understanding. All of us in this village have similar family condition so we understand how it is. It was okay. 127 00:18:23,610 --> 00:18:33,687 In my opinion, there were many students going to school, but there were many dropouts as well. 128 00:18:34,158 --> 00:18:40,108 Many of the dropouts are very young. Some drop out when they’re in the ninth grade. 129 00:18:41,092 --> 00:18:55,242 Some of them drop out because of their living condition; some of them are young, so they skip classes when they go out. 130 00:18:55,628 --> 00:19:00,533 They don’t dare to go to school anymore, so they drop out. 131 00:19:01,017 --> 00:19:08,186 Some students fall in love and abandon their study. 132 00:19:09,998 --> 00:19:15,394 It’s sad that they quit school at a young age. 133 00:19:17,186 --> 00:19:24,033 Although I didn’t get to study much, I still felt regret to see that. 134 00:19:24,524 --> 00:19:32,995 After deciding to quit school, the consequence is that I don’t get to study much, so my education level is low. 135 00:19:34,486 --> 00:19:40,487 My knowledge doesn’t increase because I quit school. 136 00:19:45,442 --> 00:19:51,052 I only know what I’ve been taught from school. I have even forgotten some of it. 137 00:19:52,362 --> 00:20:04,842 I think I am able to do jobs that don’t require high education level such as computer or other skills. 138 00:20:04,842 --> 00:20:14,933 If the requirements are too high, I won’t be able to do it. If it’s a community work requiring average skills, I can do it like everyone else. 139 00:20:16,746 --> 00:20:22,781 I believe that I can do it. If we go in and learn from the job, we’ll know how to do it. 140 00:20:22,781 --> 00:20:30,344 If we don’t know what the job is and we haven’t learned from it, then it’s hard. 141 00:20:30,344 --> 00:20:36,022 If we learn how the job is done, then we can do it just like anyone else. 142 00:20:36,614 --> 00:20:45,531 The beginning is hard, but it’ll be okay after a while. 143 00:20:47,886 --> 00:20:54,385 The dropout rate has decreased a bit now because they have more understanding of it. 144 00:20:54,385 --> 00:21:03,080 Some students learn from organizations that come to their schools. 145 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,540 The organizations raise awareness to the teachers. They understand a lot now. 146 00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:15,021 The dropout rate has also decreased, though there are still dropouts. 147 00:21:16,011 --> 00:21:23,109 I felt bored when I was in school because I wasn’t a smart student 148 00:21:24,329 --> 00:21:31,599 I didn’t get the lessons. I was so bored when I was in school. 149 00:21:32,308 --> 00:21:36,911 It was too complicated. 150 00:21:37,387 --> 00:21:44,502 The road in front of my house wasn’t like this 10 years ago. 151 00:21:44,922 --> 00:21:50,879 It was in pieces and water was flowing through. 152 00:21:50,879 --> 00:21:55,028 It wasn’t a dirt road like it is now. It wasn’t as high as it is now. 153 00:21:55,028 --> 00:22:00,201 You wouldn’t be able to drive through in rainy season. It was so difficult to drive through. 154 00:22:00,201 --> 00:22:11,162 When I was cycling to school on the main road, I had to keep on walking my bike a while after riding it. 155 00:22:11,162 --> 00:22:21,915 That road hadn’t been fixed yet when I was in the 7th and 8th grade. 156 00:22:23,665 --> 00:22:29,049 It was a white chalk road. Then in 2002, I don’t know who fixed it; maybe it was the government. 157 00:22:30,335 --> 00:22:34,625 They began fixing it, although it wasn’t as big as it is now. 158 00:22:35,465 --> 00:22:40,173 Eventually, they began expanding the road until it is this big now. 159 00:22:40,173 --> 00:22:44,375 I heard they were going to turn the road into asphalt rubber. 160 00:22:44,375 --> 00:22:47,569 The road is road number 53A. 161 00:22:48,499 --> 00:22:55,933 I heard that they were going to build an asphalt rubber road from here to Koh Kong. 162 00:22:55,933 --> 00:23:00,227 I’m not lying; that’s what I heard. We’ll have to see. 163 00:23:01,622 --> 00:23:09,936 This road is very beneficial for people in this village. It’s convenient for students and people doing business to commute. 164 00:23:09,936 --> 00:23:14,256 There have been more people traveling in and out of the village. 165 00:23:14,256 --> 00:23:18,576 There weren’t many people traveling through here, but the traffic now is almost like a market’s road. 166 00:23:19,742 --> 00:23:30,723 People travel through all the time because the road is easy to drive through. 167 00:23:30,723 --> 00:23:37,872 There are also disadvantages for the villagers. 168 00:23:39,782 --> 00:23:43,600 If there isn’t any rain for several days, the road becomes foggy with dust. 169 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,590 The fog is so thick that you can’t see through when a car drives past. 170 00:23:46,590 --> 00:23:57,080 It goes into our houses. It goes into the noses of villagers and people traveling through. That’s the advantage. 171 00:23:59,430 --> 00:24:04,550 How has that affected the villagers’ health? Has anyone been seriously ill because of the dust cloud? 172 00:24:05,998 --> 00:24:12,389 We have become sick. When the road was clouded with dust, everyone along the road caught a cold. 173 00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:18,543 Some of them didn’t get severely ill, but some did. 174 00:24:19,841 --> 00:24:32,177 Each illness varies. I think it was because of the dust cloud because it got into our noses, our food, our houses, and our clothes that we hang to dry. 175 00:24:33,017 --> 00:24:37,817 It goes into my house and other people’s houses as well. 176 00:24:38,485 --> 00:24:42,815 We couldn’t see anything. Dry seasons are very dusty. 177 00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:50,716 Before the road was fixed, there wasn’t any dust cloud. 178 00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:58,630 It has been dusty ever since the road got fixed. 179 00:25:00,379 --> 00:25:06,889 People keep complaining about when we finally get the asphalt rubber so that it won’t be dusty anymore. 180 00:25:07,129 --> 00:25:11,351 My family and all the other families keep complaining about that. 181 00:25:11,351 --> 00:25:15,351 We have never requested a fire truck to come spray water on the road. 182 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:23,209 We have talked about it. Some have only talked amongst themselves. 183 00:25:23,209 --> 00:25:28,294 No one has told the authority to bring a fire truck to spray water on the road for the villagers. 184 00:25:34,532 --> 00:25:46,582 Some have thought of collecting money from villagers to buy water to spray on the road, but we haven’t seen the authority taking note of the problem. 185 00:25:47,270 --> 00:25:51,270 Why are they not taking note of the problem? 186 00:25:51,697 --> 00:25:58,912 I think it’s because they think they can’t afford to fix the problem. 187 00:25:58,912 --> 00:26:01,742 This road is quite long. 188 00:26:01,742 --> 00:26:22,363 When I go to meetings or events with the villagers, I always hear people say whatever you do, if it’s only you; one voice can’t accomplish things. If— 189 00:26:22,662 --> 00:26:24,662 Okay, start. 190 00:26:25,674 --> 00:26:50,864 If you follow me from morning, then you’ll see my daily activities such as plowing, feeding the pigs, feeding the chickens, building dikes, and other household chores. 191 00:26:53,837 --> 00:27:09,927 The main problem for the villagers is their living condition. 192 00:27:09,927 --> 00:27:21,363 As you can see, there isn’t anyone in this village whose living condition is great. 193 00:27:21,363 --> 00:27:29,995 People here only get by on a daily basis; their livelihood is not that great. 194 00:27:29,995 --> 00:27:34,415 That’s one of their main problems. Their family’s economy is a priority. 195 00:27:34,415 --> 00:27:38,415 Along with their kids’ education. 196 00:27:59,697 --> 00:28:12,257 If many of their kids are attending school, then they have to spend on schooling, and the family’s expenses. 197 00:28:12,883 --> 00:28:17,373 That’s another one of the problems. 198 00:28:19,896 --> 00:28:35,546 That, and their farms. If you want the commune leaders to do something for the community, you can’t just go and demand them to build you a road. 199 00:28:35,555 --> 00:28:40,555 They won’t listen to one person’s demand. 200 00:28:40,555 --> 00:28:56,687 That’s just like voting. Only the candidate with the most votes gets accepted to be the leader. 201 00:28:56,687 --> 00:29:04,386 If you get fewer votes, you can’t be a leader. 202 00:29:04,407 --> 00:29:09,057 If you want to do something, you have to have many voices being a part of it. 203 00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:14,389 If you do something with involvement from others, you might make mistakes. 204 00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:18,854 If you do something with many other people, everyone will benefit from it. 205 00:29:18,864 --> 00:29:24,504 This problem happens to many people; that’s why it’s mandatory to have involvement from many people. 206 00:29:24,504 --> 00:29:28,580 If you’re alone, it’s impossible, because you’re only one person. 207 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:34,013 Why do you think it’s wrong to have only one voice? 208 00:29:34,013 --> 00:29:44,513 I don’t think it’s wrong, but you can’t fulfill a demand. Fewer people can’t get their demands. 209 00:29:44,513 --> 00:29:50,146 How do you get many voices to make a demand to the authority? 210 00:29:50,146 --> 00:30:05,116 If you want something from the local authority, you have to think about what is the main problem that is affecting the villagers’ livelihood? 211 00:30:05,116 --> 00:30:23,153 Hence, we call the villagers in to figure out a way to get the local authority to help us fix the problem. 212 00:30:23,153 --> 00:30:32,183 That means we have to meet and discuss first before we make a demand. 213 00:30:35,013 --> 00:30:39,333 I think the demands in the commune are okay. 214 00:30:39,333 --> 00:30:44,553 Our local authorities are quite easy-going. 215 00:30:44,553 --> 00:30:51,953 Before, we lacked a water canal 216 00:30:51,953 --> 00:31:01,073 So we raised that issue up during the commune meeting when they discussed problems that the villagers were facing. 217 00:31:01,073 --> 00:31:04,913 The villagers raised that issue, and they responded. 218 00:31:04,913 --> 00:31:10,903 It was just like before we had the road. 219 00:31:10,903 --> 00:31:17,483 The villagers talked about the road problems, so they built a road in response to that. 220 00:31:17,483 --> 00:31:23,283 Some problems can’t be resolved. There’s a limit to the commune council’s ability. 221 00:31:23,283 --> 00:31:33,113 Some demands can’t be met yet. Some demands are fulfilled. 222 00:31:33,116 --> 00:31:40,766 Some demands are rejected because the commune has to contact the higher level authority 223 00:31:40,766 --> 00:31:44,766 so those demands are not met yet. 224 00:31:46,774 --> 00:31:51,884 The climate here hasn’t been the same. 225 00:31:51,884 --> 00:31:58,694 It has changed. It used to be dry every July. 226 00:31:59,948 --> 00:32:11,148 But this year, it’s been raining till it floods. 227 00:32:11,148 --> 00:32:15,148 There had never been flooding in this area until this year. 228 00:32:15,148 --> 00:32:19,008 There was too much rain, so it floods. 229 00:32:19,008 --> 00:32:23,008 Some areas have flooding, but some don’t. 230 00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:29,758 As for the heat, the temperature only got to over 30 degree Celsius. 231 00:32:29,758 --> 00:32:34,718 That was considered very hot. 232 00:32:34,718 --> 00:32:38,671 But now, it’s gotten to 40 to 41 degrees. 233 00:32:41,849 --> 00:32:51,317 That’s the temperature this year. It has increased a lot. 234 00:32:51,317 --> 00:32:56,175 It’s because we have our provincial radio station. 235 00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:58,756 They broadcast heat warnings. 236 00:32:58,756 --> 00:33:06,496 If the day is going to be too hot, the radio will let us know that the temperature will exceed 41 degrees. 237 00:33:06,496 --> 00:33:10,369 They tell us to be careful. 238 00:33:10,369 --> 00:33:20,351 There was flooding a few years ago. It flooded below my house. 239 00:33:20,351 --> 00:33:27,061 The water got to here as well, but there had never been any flooding in this month. 240 00:33:27,061 --> 00:33:30,431 It’s only this year. There’s too much water. 241 00:33:30,431 --> 00:33:34,431 In the years before, there would only be this much water in September. 242 00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:38,431 There’s too much water and too much rain this year. 243 00:33:38,431 --> 00:33:48,643 Before, if there was a drought or anything, they prayed in their traditional way. 244 00:33:48,643 --> 00:33:56,063 They prayed, got possessed by spirits, or gave offerings to the pagodas to ask for rain. 245 00:33:57,485 --> 00:34:08,058 But now, they meet up and discuss; they close off the water canal. 246 00:34:08,058 --> 00:34:12,421 There was a drought the year before as well. 247 00:34:12,421 --> 00:34:19,299 There was no water, so they closed off the water canal to keep water for crop irrigation. 248 00:34:19,299 --> 00:34:26,282 But before that, they prayed in their traditional way to ask for rain when there was a drought. 249 00:34:26,282 --> 00:34:30,282 They also prayed when there was a flooding. 250 00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:43,925 If there’s a drought, they go talk to the local authority to ask them to help get water for their rice fields. 251 00:34:43,925 --> 00:35:01,177 In the previous drought episode, they asked the authority to build a water canal, a reservoir, or a pond to store water in case of droughts. 252 00:35:01,177 --> 00:35:05,345 We got the water canal and reservoir this year. 253 00:35:05,345 --> 00:35:10,554 Those who have money would dig a pond near their rice field to get water. 254 00:35:10,554 --> 00:35:14,385 Some have water pump for their farms. 255 00:35:14,385 --> 00:35:30,724 I think if there’s a drought or any problem, the villagers have to know how to work together with the local authorities 256 00:35:30,724 --> 00:35:34,724 to find a way to solve the problem rather than just talk about it. 257 00:35:34,724 --> 00:35:42,081 If there’s a problem, we’ll find the solution quicker if we all work together. 258 00:35:42,081 --> 00:35:47,312 However, if we only complain about how hard the problem is 259 00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:50,250 the problem would still be there. 260 00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:55,454 If we work together to solve the problem when we face it, we can help solve it. 261 00:35:55,454 --> 00:35:58,553 What about organizations and NGOs? 262 00:35:58,953 --> 00:36:01,650 As for organizations and NGOs 263 00:36:02,385 --> 00:36:07,229 when they come here, we make requests. 264 00:36:09,481 --> 00:36:14,753 When they come to the village and see the situation 265 00:36:17,322 --> 00:36:30,871 we tell them that our families are facing certain problems due to natural disasters. 266 00:36:31,377 --> 00:36:43,693 We always request items, cash or other aids from organizations for those facing the problem. 267 00:36:43,693 --> 00:36:47,576 We tell the organizations about the problem. 268 00:36:49,195 --> 00:36:55,027 As for drought, I think first, it’s climate change. 269 00:36:55,346 --> 00:37:04,615 Climate change is due to deforestation. I never encountered droughts when I was young. 270 00:37:05,028 --> 00:37:10,841 It’s only these past few years that we’ve been having droughts. 271 00:37:10,841 --> 00:37:15,259 It used to rain whenever it was time. 272 00:37:15,259 --> 00:37:20,123 That was because trees attract rain. 273 00:37:24,184 --> 00:37:29,659 Now that the trees are gone, it hasn’t been raining as much. 274 00:37:29,659 --> 00:37:34,031 Sometimes it rains early in the month or irregularly. 275 00:37:34,031 --> 00:37:42,046 This community has lost about 50% of its forest. 276 00:37:42,046 --> 00:37:51,659 The forest used to be so thick, but from what I see now, there aren’t many trees anymore. 277 00:37:51,659 --> 00:37:57,919 There isn’t any tree this big now. There are only trees this big. 278 00:37:57,919 --> 00:38:01,919 The trees have decreased drastically. 279 00:38:01,919 --> 00:38:05,919 Deforestation is due to people. 280 00:38:05,919 --> 00:38:09,235 Some people cut them down and sell them. 281 00:38:09,235 --> 00:38:11,982 Some cleared the forest. 282 00:38:11,982 --> 00:38:20,485 Some delivered the land to private companies. We’ve lost our forest. 283 00:38:20,485 --> 00:38:26,051 There isn’t any land concession here 284 00:38:26,051 --> 00:38:33,298 but some villagers own land that is near the border of Pursat Province. 285 00:38:33,298 --> 00:38:43,423 That affects them because their land and their farms are being taken and turned into land concession and yam farms. 286 00:38:43,423 --> 00:38:45,562 That’s the land close to Pursat Province. 287 00:38:45,562 --> 00:38:55,938 The company came here to track the GPS on the villagers’ land. 288 00:38:55,938 --> 00:39:05,574 The villagers went and filed a complaint at the provincial hall. 289 00:39:05,574 --> 00:39:09,110 I don’t remember the place. 290 00:39:09,110 --> 00:39:10,650 The provincial hall. 291 00:39:10,650 --> 00:39:13,708 Yes, the provincial hall. 292 00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:21,961 They filed a complaint there and a provincial Excellency came to help keep the companies away. 293 00:39:21,961 --> 00:39:28,994 Many students came to measure the villagers’ land so that they could get their land registered. 294 00:39:28,994 --> 00:39:32,660 They got their land registered, and the land concession has withdrawn. 295 00:39:32,660 --> 00:39:40,167 Though there might be land concessions in other communes. 296 00:39:40,167 --> 00:39:44,655 I don’t know because I don’t know much about other communes. 297 00:39:44,655 --> 00:39:48,045 I heard that there were companies going to demolish the land there 298 00:39:48,045 --> 00:39:52,165 but there isn’t land concession anymore here in Anhchanh Rung Commune. 299 00:39:52,501 --> 00:39:57,051 There are villagers here and villagers elsewhere coming in to cut down the trees. 300 00:39:57,051 --> 00:40:00,518 The villagers here cut down the trees to use as firewood. 301 00:40:00,518 --> 00:40:04,431 They build kilns, so they sell firewood. 302 00:40:04,431 --> 00:40:11,078 As for villagers outside of this village, they come to cut down the trees here to make firewood 303 00:40:11,078 --> 00:40:18,198 because their village doesn’t have any tree. 304 00:40:18,198 --> 00:40:24,618 Some people buy land in the forest, so they cleared the trees to farm. 305 00:40:24,618 --> 00:40:33,147 We don’t have big trees in our community forest anymore because people keep chopping down the big trees. 306 00:40:33,147 --> 00:40:35,582 We only have the small trees. 307 00:40:35,582 --> 00:40:51,728 Right now, we’re requesting that the Ministry of Agriculture recognizes and makes our community forest official 308 00:40:51,728 --> 00:40:57,325 because although we have a community forest, we only have the temporary permit. 309 00:40:57,325 --> 00:41:00,053 It’s not official yet. 310 00:41:01,686 --> 00:41:11,224 We’re demanding recognition from the provincial authorities that we do indeed have a community forest. 311 00:41:11,224 --> 00:41:17,411 We have noted the exact border points. 312 00:41:17,411 --> 00:41:26,608 The companies that were going to do land concessions have also withdrawn from our community forest. 313 00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:32,626 'Do they arrest anyone? 314 00:41:32,632 --> 00:41:39,642 Yes. They transport logs, charcoals and rosewood trees, but I’ve never seen the authorities putting a stop to it. 315 00:41:40,663 --> 00:41:54,084 The loggers might pay some cash. Maybe that’s why I don’t see the authorities stopping them. They transport firewood. 316 00:41:55,573 --> 00:42:00,686 What do the villagers usually do for a living? 317 00:42:02,263 --> 00:42:09,230 Besides rice farming, the villagers plant crops or raise animals. 318 00:42:09,230 --> 00:42:11,911 Some go to work for others. 319 00:42:13,647 --> 00:42:22,587 Besides rice farming, they know how to make kilns and charcoals. 320 00:42:24,757 --> 00:42:28,832 Those are their jobs besides rice farming. 321 00:42:29,263 --> 00:42:34,718 As for youths who are dropouts, they migrate and find work far away. 322 00:42:35,988 --> 00:42:38,868 They come back after a few months. 323 00:42:40,518 --> 00:42:50,610 I have never been in a political campaign parade. I’ve joined the political activities, though. 324 00:42:51,132 --> 00:43:04,017 I’ve joined when the political leader called the villagers to meet up and listen to their political policies. 325 00:43:04,857 --> 00:43:10,287 I’ve partaken in my favorite political party’s meeting when they discuss their policies. 326 00:43:13,447 --> 00:43:27,397 When people see me going to meetings with organizations, they think I’m a staff. 327 00:43:27,397 --> 00:43:30,609 They think I probably have money. 328 00:43:30,609 --> 00:43:34,389 They don’t know. 329 00:43:34,389 --> 00:43:40,912 Some know that I’m a volunteer and I don’t have any money; I don’t get any salary. 330 00:43:40,912 --> 00:43:49,029 Some people think I’m probably rich because I frequently go to meetings. 331 00:43:49,029 --> 00:43:51,971 That’s what they think. 332 00:43:51,971 --> 00:43:56,361 Some people know, so they understand. 333 00:43:56,361 --> 00:43:59,992 Some people don’t understand community service. 334 00:43:59,992 --> 00:44:02,428 They don’t get why we work without getting paid. 335 00:44:02,428 --> 00:44:07,254 They think it’s better to work other jobs or do some business. 336 00:44:13,421 --> 00:44:17,560 Some people think differently. 337 00:44:17,830 --> 00:44:23,991 Some people think I’m a staff and that I have a salary. 338 00:44:23,991 --> 00:44:29,521 Some people understand; they know that I’m a volunteer. I don’t have any money. 339 00:44:29,521 --> 00:44:34,563 They know that I’m volunteering for the village. It’s not a job. 340 00:44:36,083 --> 00:44:42,648 Some people don’t get why we volunteer when we’re not being paid. 341 00:44:44,122 --> 00:44:50,074 They think it’s better to find another job to earn money. 342 00:44:50,574 --> 00:44:54,687 They wonder why we keep on doing this when we don’t get any money. 343 00:44:54,687 --> 00:44:58,935 Some people think like that. Some people understand, so they don’t say it. 344 00:45:00,995 --> 00:45:03,310 For me or for everyone? 345 00:45:03,310 --> 00:45:04,787 For you. 346 00:45:04,787 --> 00:45:15,407 I think I have more power than before because I have more social knowledge than I did. 347 00:45:16,437 --> 00:45:19,853 I have some knowledge on legal issues. 348 00:45:20,543 --> 00:45:25,756 I don’t know much, but it’s not that I don’t know it at all. 349 00:45:25,756 --> 00:45:31,305 When we raise issues, the leaders think we might have high education. 350 00:45:32,162 --> 00:45:36,302 We know a lot about what goes on in society. That’s our power. 351 00:45:36,952 --> 00:45:42,241 We have created saving groups 352 00:45:42,975 --> 00:46:04,739 we have organized community arts event where we gather youth in the community to compose poems, songs and movies. 353 00:46:06,139 --> 00:46:16,319 We have also worked with the local authority to promote the declaration of human rights in the village. 354 00:46:16,319 --> 00:46:25,032 We have celebrated International Human Rights Day, which we organized in this village. 355 00:46:25,032 --> 00:46:34,858 We requested to the donors to get money to organize the event. 356 00:46:36,024 --> 00:46:42,734 We cooperated with the local authority, and they were happy to work with us. 357 00:46:42,734 --> 00:46:44,943 We have organized forums. 358 00:46:50,872 --> 00:46:55,849 We have participated when the organizations invited us to host forums in Phnom Penh or in the provinces. 359 00:46:55,849 --> 00:46:58,742 Our group has been a part of many events. 360 00:47:00,072 --> 00:47:04,812 We stood out the most during the ASEAN Conference in 2012. 361 00:47:07,432 --> 00:47:11,727 That's one of our proudest moments. 362 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:24,883 People from 10 countries participated, but our group stood out the most in Cambodia. 363 00:47:29,493 --> 00:47:36,276 I’m happy to volunteer in the community. 364 00:47:36,276 --> 00:47:45,051 I’m also concerned because our education level is limited 365 00:47:45,051 --> 00:47:54,110 our education level is low, so what we can do in the village is still limited. 366 00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:07,340 Our knowledge is low, so there are some tasks that we can’t do. 367 00:48:08,350 --> 00:48:12,455 We don’t meet up as often, so I’m concerned. 368 00:48:12,455 --> 00:48:23,744 I’m afraid that our group will disband because our members have to move far away with their family. 369 00:48:25,414 --> 00:48:27,679 We don’t get paid for what we do. 370 00:48:27,679 --> 00:48:31,614 When we work an unpaid job 371 00:48:31,614 --> 00:48:35,549 Living conditions are very important 372 00:48:35,549 --> 00:48:40,241 Some members work jobs that can pay them and they leave this place 373 00:48:40,241 --> 00:48:42,173 That’s my big concern. 374 00:48:44,933 --> 00:48:48,623 It’s currently rice-farming season 375 00:48:48,623 --> 00:48:52,634 So sometimes the members can’t meet up 376 00:48:55,474 --> 00:49:00,255 We can’t meet and discuss. That’s my concern. 377 00:49:01,425 --> 00:49:02,076 Yes 378 00:49:03,456 --> 00:49:09,239 I have my parents and an aunt who is living with me 379 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,332 I have 5 siblings. I’m the second child. 380 00:49:13,332 --> 00:49:16,440 My brother finished his bachelor degree 381 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,004 He has a family and a job in Phnom Penh 382 00:49:19,004 --> 00:49:21,527 My younger sibling is also married. 383 00:49:21,527 --> 00:49:24,001 The two youngest are studying 384 00:49:25,521 --> 00:49:29,492 My family and I farm rice 385 00:49:29,492 --> 00:49:34,183 and we have other minor jobs to make a living 386 00:49:36,553 --> 00:49:40,556 The livelihood of the villagers here has improved now 387 00:49:41,246 --> 00:49:45,301 It’s not as bad as before 388 00:49:51,511 --> 00:49:54,594 Sophorn Take 8. 389 00:50:01,499 --> 00:50:30,572 How do you feel when you volunteer for the community radio station? I’m very happy. (inaudible) I’m quite concerned. (inaudible) …buy the programs that we produce. 390 00:50:30,572 --> 00:50:55,061 We can’t do what we want to do. (inaudible) We don’t meet up as often. That’s my concern. (inaudible) Our group disbands because the members have to move far away with their family and they can’t meet us anymore. 391 00:50:55,061 --> 00:51:28,135 We don’t get paid for what we do. When we do unpaid job; living condition is very important. Some members go have jobs that can pay them; they leave this place. That’s my big concern. It’s currently rice-farming season, so sometimes the members can’t meet up. 392 00:51:28,135 --> 00:51:34,343 We can’t meet and discuss. That’s my concern. 393 00:51:42,993 --> 00:52:02,413 Finally, can you tell us about what family background? How many siblings do you have? What do your parents do? You don’t have to give us their names. How is your livelihood? What does your family do for a living? 394 00:52:02,413 --> 00:52:06,533 How are your siblings’ studying? Okay? 395 00:52:06,903 --> 00:52:48,923 Yes. I have my parents and an aunt who doesn’t have a family yet, living with me. I have 5 siblings. I’m the second child. My brother finished his bachelor degree. He has a family and a job in Phnom Penh. My next younger sibling is also married. The two youngest are studying. 396 00:52:48,923 --> 00:52:54,789 My family farms rice and other minor jobs for a living. The livelihood of the villagers here has improved now. It’s not as bad as before. 397 00:52:56,929 --> 00:53:01,919 Thank you! 398 00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:13,052 We got it in 1979. The government gave us the land. 399 00:53:13,863 --> 00:53:19,754 We took whatever land we got. The rest was up to the government. 400 00:53:19,754 --> 00:53:25,216 It varied from family to family. Everyone got the same. 401 00:53:25,986 --> 00:53:30,236 It was a rice farm that was used since Pol Pot Regime. 402 00:53:31,276 --> 00:53:35,507 They came here and already saw the rice farm. 403 00:53:35,507 --> 00:53:39,458 It’s been a long time – since 1979. 404 00:53:40,616 --> 00:53:44,360 That’s all. They added one or two. 405 00:53:45,270 --> 00:53:47,116 Did they buy more? 406 00:53:47,116 --> 00:53:48,408 They bought more 407 00:53:48,408 --> 00:53:56,458 They haven’t made it for us yet, but they recognize that it’s our land 408 00:53:56,458 --> 00:54:01,253 No one has gotten it yet. They gave us the temporary permit already 409 00:54:01,723 --> 00:54:10,449 The local authorities have recognized that it’s our land. If they don’t recognize it, then they have to give us the land register. 410 00:54:10,449 --> 00:54:11,709 My land is 2 hectors big. 411 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,348 Field land? 412 00:54:14,348 --> 00:54:16,675 Yes, field land. I don’t have any farm land. 413 00:54:17,435 --> 00:54:18,850 I don't know. 414 00:54:22,370 --> 00:54:30,535 I’ve only heard about paying some amount of money for one hector, but we only plant our own rice. 415 00:54:31,605 --> 00:54:42,041 We don’t get much because the soil isn’t that good; it’s sand. We only get 2 or 3 tons per hector. 416 00:54:42,041 --> 00:54:47,121 How many tons does your family consume in a year? 417 00:54:48,231 --> 00:54:54,242 My family needs 3 tons to consume and to sell. 418 00:54:56,639 --> 00:54:58,542 Consumption only. 419 00:54:58,542 --> 00:55:01,403 Consumption only, we need one or one and a half ton. 420 00:55:01,403 --> 00:55:06,603 We don’t have much left because we don’t have much money. 421 00:55:06,603 --> 00:55:11,569 We sell the rice to get money. We only keep enough to eat. 422 00:55:13,149 --> 00:55:14,876 When do you usually sell the rice? 423 00:55:14,876 --> 00:55:20,076 We sell the rice in dry seasons because there are many events and weddings. 424 00:55:20,076 --> 00:55:25,024 We sell the rice to give money to the newly wed. 425 00:55:27,773 --> 00:55:32,726 That uses up a lot of money. We also spend on household items. 426 00:55:32,726 --> 00:55:38,192 We don’t have much money. We can’t hire someone else. 427 00:55:39,202 --> 00:55:44,951 If there are few members, then it’s enough. But there are 8 members in my family; it’s not enough. 428 00:55:44,951 --> 00:56:00,084 I want to hire, too, but they have their own rice field. 429 00:56:00,084 --> 00:56:01,003 Who would I hire? 430 00:56:01,003 --> 00:56:04,867 Everyone here works on their own farm. There’s no one that we can hire. 431 00:56:04,867 --> 00:56:09,349 We keep our own seedlings to plant every year. 432 00:56:09,349 --> 00:56:13,964 After harvesting, we keep a part to use as seedlings, and a part to consume and to sell. 433 00:56:13,964 --> 00:56:16,816 Can you tell us the seedling selection process? 434 00:56:16,816 --> 00:56:21,646 After harvesting, we select the seedlings. 435 00:56:21,646 --> 00:56:36,144 We normally keep 3 wooden baskets of seedlings separate and keep the rest for consumption. 436 00:56:36,144 --> 00:56:42,235 It’s hard because it’s farming season now. 437 00:56:42,235 --> 00:56:49,979 If I get called for a meeting or a training, then I’ll miss working out my farm. 438 00:56:49,979 --> 00:56:58,641 I have to put this work on hold and let my family do it. 439 00:56:58,641 --> 00:57:03,083 t’s not that we stop doing it, but we take out one manpower for that meeting. 440 00:57:08,601 --> 00:57:16,306 If the meetings are too frequent, then I miss out on this work every day. 441 00:57:17,180 --> 00:57:19,992 It’s okay if it’s not seedlings transplanting season. 442 00:57:19,992 --> 00:57:25,199 It’s farming season. I have to manage the time. 443 00:57:25,199 --> 00:57:30,777 If I have a meeting in the morning, I have to wake up at dawn to plow. 444 00:57:30,777 --> 00:57:35,774 I would then stop at 8 or 9 and go to the meeting. 445 00:57:37,314 --> 00:57:41,996 It’s okay if it’s dry season. 446 00:57:41,996 --> 00:57:48,763 Sometimes if I sacrifice this work too much and we don’t have any money, they also scold at me. 447 00:57:48,763 --> 00:57:53,572 They say I waste this work and don’t get anything back in return. 448 00:57:53,572 --> 00:57:56,845 They would only scold me for a bit. 449 00:57:56,845 --> 00:58:00,770 There’s nothing I can do; that’s the way it is. 450 00:58:00,770 --> 00:58:06,436 It’s okay if it’s not farming season. They don’t think it’s troublesome. 451 00:58:06,436 --> 00:58:13,007 It’s okay if it’s once in a while, but they start complaining when it’s every day. 452 00:58:13,007 --> 00:58:20,900 They’re older now. When I go, they have to farm on their own. 453 00:58:21,642 --> 00:58:24,936 What do you think? 454 00:58:25,813 --> 00:58:31,756 There’s nothing to think. I explain to them. 455 00:58:34,029 --> 00:58:36,353 I tell them what I learn from the meeting. 456 00:58:36,353 --> 00:58:39,900 Then they’ll understand. They will let me go. 457 00:58:39,900 --> 00:58:50,280 They won’t blame anymore as long as I don’t go to the meeting and not know what was going on. 458 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:59,880 Although there’s water now, there’s usually a drought every year. There hadn’t been any rain till the day before yesterday. 459 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:04,452 It was dry. We only got the water from the rain from the day before. (inaudible) 460 00:59:04,452 --> 00:59:09,629 I think the climate here is quite good, though I don’t know how it is at someone else’s farm. 461 00:59:11,551 --> 00:59:16,026 I think it’s okay here because there’s enough rain in the farming season. 462 00:59:16,026 --> 00:59:18,782 People get to farm their rice. 463 00:59:20,024 --> 00:59:25,162 The water canal is quite tough to use because there’s only water when it rains. 464 00:59:25,539 --> 00:59:31,981 It was dry before. It wasn’t until the rain the day before that it got some water back. 465 00:59:32,787 --> 00:59:36,170 It was dry. There’s no water when there’s no rain. 466 00:59:37,292 --> 00:59:42,628 The water canal can’t store the water alone. We need to have reservoirs, too. 467 00:59:43,297 --> 00:59:58,987 I have requested to the local authorities when there’s any problem such as drought during farming seasons. 468 00:59:58,987 --> 01:00:02,162 I have asked them to find a solution for the farmers 469 01:00:02,162 --> 01:00:15,032 so they can finish their work in the farming season and not have to stop working because there’s a drought. 470 01:00:16,848 --> 01:00:23,060 I’m concerned about it, too. I’m worried that they will do give me the land possession certificate. 471 01:00:23,060 --> 01:00:30,557 I only heard that the company had come for the land concession, but when the people went to file a petition to the authority 472 01:00:30,557 --> 01:00:39,967 they said they couldn’t take responsibility for the case as the people didn’t have any official possession certificate. 473 01:00:39,967 --> 01:00:46,903 I’m worried that such cases can happen on me someday. It has happened in some provinces, but not yet here. 474 01:00:47,505 --> 01:00:54,046 Yes, it hurts. Every time I overwork, my knee hurts; and my bones, too. 475 01:00:54,046 --> 01:00:56,564 There is quite some difficulty. 476 01:00:58,933 --> 01:01:03,021 Have you seen any doctors yet? 477 01:01:03,388 --> 01:01:06,566 I’m thinking of having it checked after planting seedlings. 478 01:01:06,566 --> 01:01:09,390 I had it checked once around 6 years ago when it first started aching. 479 01:01:09,390 --> 01:01:13,610 So, after planting the seedlings, I’ll have it checked. 480 01:01:16,730 --> 01:01:19,080 Is it still hurting like it used to? 481 01:01:20,091 --> 01:01:24,617 Not that much. It only hurts when I work too hard. 482 01:01:24,617 --> 01:01:30,017 Back then, I could never even walk when it hurt. It only hurts sometimes now. 483 01:01:30,017 --> 01:01:32,522 Can you tell me in details how it hurts you? 484 01:01:33,187 --> 01:01:42,034 The joints hurt. It usually does at night when I work too hard during the day time. 485 01:01:46,364 --> 01:01:51,073 It hurts like there is something stuck in the bone. 486 01:01:51,528 --> 01:01:54,738 Have you been fighting with it all these times? Yes. 487 01:01:55,598 --> 01:02:00,708 It hurts too often that I get used to it now already. I can fight with it. 488 01:02:01,695 --> 01:02:08,383 Still, I’m afraid that it becomes worse someday. I can’t see the future. That’s why I want to see a doctor after planting seedlings. 489 01:02:09,943 --> 01:02:10,991 Sophorn! 490 01:02:10,991 --> 01:02:11,769 Huh? 491 01:02:11,769 --> 01:02:13,759 Have you eaten? - Not yet. 492 01:02:42,414 --> 01:02:43,933 Go buy 493 01:02:45,103 --> 01:02:46,505 a pack of MSG 494 01:02:48,935 --> 01:02:51,283 2 packs of Tiger Cake 495 01:02:55,921 --> 01:03:02,361 a pack of coconut jelly, and buy some snack for the rest of the money. 496 01:03:05,631 --> 01:03:11,211 Buy the MSG at the place you told me the other day. 497 01:03:23,531 --> 01:03:24,971 How much? 498 01:03:26,243 --> 01:03:27,634 2500 riels. 499 01:03:29,214 --> 01:03:30,731 They are all delicious. 500 01:03:31,531 --> 01:03:34,232 Oh, did you get the plastic bag torn off? 501 01:03:37,093 --> 01:03:38,871 No, it’s okay. 502 01:03:39,698 --> 01:03:41,699 Are they Khmer bills? 503 01:03:45,919 --> 01:03:48,309 Pick one. 504 01:04:13,197 --> 01:04:15,208 Yes. 505 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here, for yesterday as well. 506 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Aunty, do you want some Nom Bahnjok?

I’m just talking about the seller that keeps decreasing the amount of it. 517 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It is pretty much less now for 1000 riels. 518 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What do you think about our radio drama yesterday? Do you think it can be finished any time soon? 519 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think it’ll be soon so that it can be broadcast soon as well. 520 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And what do you think about changing the voice actors yesterday? Do you think it was difficult? 521 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think it was difficult because we had to go back and forth. 522 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, what do you think then? 523 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m not going to say much, but switching voice actors made it difficult. 524 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The voice recording might be easy, but it will be difficult for the editor. 525 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think so because it was very random. 526 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It was complicated. 527 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It was almost going to be finished already when I was there. 528 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But Chhang Theang and the others in the village haven’t voice recordinged as well. 529 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They have once, haven’t they? 530 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They have, but it isn’t enough yet. It was only for stage 2. 531 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There was a clip about the village’s chief. The chief turned out to be female at the end of the sound clip. It’s not reasonable. 532 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I support the part, but the village’s chief voice shouldn’t have been female, or do we call her Mr.Village’s Chief, too? 533 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That’s why I’m telling you that we need to voice recording again. 534 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It shouldn’t be voice recordinged again. 535 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Chap Seng told me that he was too busy to voice recording it either. 536 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think we have cooperated pretty well, but it’s just that the drama wasn’t supposed to be that hilarious. 537 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It was because we knew how to use the correct terminology and hilarious language. 538 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It was fun for the rehearsal part, but for the real one, I felt like we couldn’t add some fun to it. 539 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We didn’t have much fun during the voice recording, but during the rehearsal, we had quite lots of fun. 540 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think it would have been great if you were the main voice-actor in the drama. Related to what? 541 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Related to anything. What I’m saying is, if they want to provide education or recommendation, I’d be glad to get it. 542 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It’s hard for me to talk about it. 543 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Because if I talk about it, we might have troubles. 544 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Do you know what kind of troubles they are? For example, violence. 545 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There was a family which the members didn’t get along, and they always used violence. 546 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 First, we shall explain them why they shouldn’t continue doing so. 547 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 However, if they don’t listen to our advice, we should report them to the neighbors and the authority to take part in the intervention on them. 548 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This is about violence. Is there anything else? 549 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They are the same. We should always help those who are in troubles. 550 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Of course, everyone is equal. No one’s better. 551 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think so. If I could take a role as an educational actor, I’d be very glad to do it. 552 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Are you afraid that they would criticize us? Have you ever thought of that? 553 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Well, for some reasons, it’s good that they criticize us because we can learn from critiques and do better in the future. 554 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But if we don’t involve their critiques into our thoughts, we will never know what we do is right or wrong. 555 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, you are thinking that if you can do this, it will become your very first achievement? 556 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m very proud even though I’m not the main actor. I’m still glad to be in the position. 557 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 How did they not know about this from the start? 558 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 No one knew about it. 559 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 He minds too much. He shouldn’t haven minded with such things. 560 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I mean, if he was upset because he couldn’t be the main actor, he should’ve put himself in the others who didn’t get to be the main actor, too. 561 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 He should’ve understood that we didn’t have that kind of feelings. 562 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Do they only want the voice from Hout? Not only a word or two? 563 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We should share. Sometimes, my voice is pretty much in the drama. Same as FM102, each of the staff has their own story, and they also get a chance to talk about it. 564 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The one talking about their story has to be the main actor, and does each of the others. 565 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Or it’s just that they don’t need to be the main actor, but the one that talks the most in the drama. 566 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 He wasn’t supposed to be upset and mined such thing. 567 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I don’t know because they were voice recordinging the whole time, not me. 568 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Really? 569 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Yes. 570 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Why did they make her the voice actress for the village’s chief? 571 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Some actors didn’t get to talk much. 572 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Just like me. 573 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 A word or two then that’s it. 574 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m too lazy to think about it. 575 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Someone’s calling you. 576 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Related to the article… 577 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What? 578 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Related to the article, 579 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What about it? 580 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 How much do they charge for it? 581 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I haven’t met them yet. I have to scrutinize the article. 582 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think I can get to work on 2 articles. 583 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Is that so? 584 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The more I write, the more I know about it. 585 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Work on an article a day and revise it. 586 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think so. I think you’ll get to work on article a day. 587 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Including the voice recording? 588 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Yes. 589 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I can do it. 590 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Well, you can earn 100 Dollars already for this month. 591 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Try to get an article for a day. 592 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you were (inaudible), you could get a few articles already. 593 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Maybe 150 Dollars a month. 5 Dollars a day so that is 50 Dollars for 10 days. 594 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Can you teach me someday? 595 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’ll teach so that when you don’t know about something later on, I’ll charge you for helping. 596 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If one of you asks me for help, I’ll charge you. 597 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Will you charge? 598 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’ll charge 2 Dollars. 599 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Yes, 2 Dollars is fair enough. 600 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Can it be 1.5 Dollars? 601 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 How can you charge 2 dollars for this little thing? 602 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m actually the one writing it. 603 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That’s because I told you to study, but you didn’t. 604 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I don’t remember, that’s why I’m asking you to show it. 605 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Where are you going, girls? 606 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Are you going to Bes Pak? 607 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Hi! 608 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Hurry, it’s hard for them to take a video of your hip. 609 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They are finding lobsters. 610 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Why don’t you make stirred lobsters today? 611 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I suggest putting a lock for the door. 612 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That one. 613 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 No, not the lockers but their doors. I haven’t seen it locked. I’m very worried about it every time I eat since I first bought it. 614 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think it’s okay because there hasn’t been anything bad here. 615 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 No, we have to be careful and prepared, because if there’s problem, there’s nothing more than just feeling regret. 616 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Before leaving, everyone must keep their stuff in the right place as I will lock the door. 617 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m informing you now, and since we’re here together, all of you are aware of this. 618 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But if u still put the key everywhere after I give u several times, it will be hard for me when I’m asked about the key. 619 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 First thing first, before going home, the one holding the key must make sure to lock all the lockers. 620 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Don’t we have a schedule for that? Can’t the one responsible on each day give the key to him afterward? 621 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We do have that kind of schedule, but to make it more convenient, the one nearest here will get to keep the key. 622 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If we keep it to the schedule, it’d be hard for us when the key holder comes here late. 623 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’ll be the one holding it, but each of us who takes responsibility on each day can take the key from me. 624 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It’s not a problem. You can keep it, but you have to make sure that you bring the key home. 625 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Do not leave it here. You must make sure to lock all the lockers. 626 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 No, it was because people were still using the lockers yesterday, that’s why I couldn’t lock them. 627 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We can see that it’s a problem for you because when they leave, you will still have some other work to do. 628 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, the one guarding the place must keep the key and give it to him or Yon as their houses are near. 629 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And for the one to guard the next day, they can take the key from him or Yon. 630 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That’s easy. 631 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But if Yon takes full responsibility, there will be no one to help locking the lockers. 632 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That’s good. 633 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m trying my best to settle and help everyone to have the easiest way. 634 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That means, every time you take something out of the locker, you must bring it back before the one guarding go home. 635 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And those who don’t lock the lockers after using it, must leave their stuff outside the lockers. 636 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We do that to make everyone understand that these are not an individual’s properties but a community’s one. 637 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But what if they still need to use the stuff even after the one guarding go home? What should they do? 638 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And they don’t have the key to the lockers because Yon brings it home with him. It was like that yesterday. 639 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Another thing, Yon should give the key to the one who still needs to use the lockers. 640 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Doing so, they can lock them properly. 641 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If the lockers aren’t locked, we wouldn’t feel secure. I understand that. 642 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I’m still worried though because every time I go eat there, I can still the computers and other valuable tings there. 643 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The lockers can be broken very easily if it’s without lock. The lock of the outside door helps it more secure. 644 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Even though, bad things haven’t happened, but we have to be prepared and more careful. 645 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And what can we do when there’s something happening? 646 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Who to blame when things happen? 647 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We can’t do anything, see? 648 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I can ask a handyman to fix the door in the afternoon and have it drilled. 649 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The key is with me already, but there’re still problems. 650 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There are many groups in our community, so sometimes when the one guarding gets switch 651 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they should open the lockers for the other to check whether or not there are enough materials in there to avoid losing things and accusing other. 652 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Have you noted down? 653 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Yes, we have because when someone wants to monitor our items in our community 654 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we must be able to show them what we have. 655 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Then the next one to guard must check the following items whether or not they are still there as noted. 656 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And if the any item isn’t in the locker, they must be informed of the one who takes the stuff. 657 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We must be responsible because they are ours, not just one of us. 658 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If we can take of care, the donor will be satisfied and continue to help us. That’s it from me. 659 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 As we have brought up a point, let me bring out another point. 660 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Regarding knowledge, DCV or other NGOs tried to call us for a course, but they couldn’t find that many, just 1 or 2. 661 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 However, those who got to go there were representatives of our community. 662 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Those who passed were the ones we selected and sent from here. 663 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, I’m asking the ones getting the knowledge from DCV to share what you have studied. 664 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And if the 4 of you don’t help us until the organization select us to go again, it won’t be that quick for us to develop. 665 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, the 4 of you should share your knowledge with us and the other 30 of us. 666 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If we wait for them, it’s not going to be busy. That’s why we have to share to the people in our community. 667 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Mostly, we can do it 70%. 668 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The ones to get training and education from other institutions, we have a meeting for them with the people to exchange knowledge and experience. 669 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There are 2 ways in providing the knowledge, the easy and the hard ways. 670 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 About the computer, it’s a bit hard because there’s only one computer. 671 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And when it’s time for the other’s turn, it’s hard for them to use. 672 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Thus, there’s only a meeting that we can share about. If you got 10 points from them, there should be about 5, 6 or 8 points. 673 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If there’s anything you need, just raise your idea. 674 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We will try to give more support We can give software or technical support. 675 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 One more thing, the schedule you told me about is wrong. 676 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Think of like this, we can share the knowledge when it’s dusk. We can come and sleep at the center at night. 677 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There aren’t that many women that can come and sleep there. 678 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I know there are still problems, but we are trying to make it better as you. 679 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There are people that can come on time because they have to guard.
