WEBVTT 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. 00:00:07.459 --> 00:00:15.133 I was plowing from 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM. 00:00:15.872 --> 00:00:22.192 I plow by myself using buffalos. I don’t have a walking tractor. 00:00:22.192 --> 00:00:24.264 How big is your rice field? 00:00:24.418 --> 00:00:28.248 I haven’t finished plowing it yet. 00:00:28.248 --> 00:00:29.868 It’s 2 hectors. 00:00:29.868 --> 00:00:35.754 I haven’t finished plowing that rice field yet because it’s too big. 00:00:35.754 --> 00:00:38.370 I’m finishing it tomorrow. 00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:44.112 When I was in the 10th and 11th grade, 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. 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. 00:01:19.667 --> 00:01:28.240 My friends whose houses were far away from the school thought the same way I did 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 00:01:35.135 --> 00:01:42.951 because we could cycle a long distance from home to school early in the morning. 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. 00:01:58.172 --> 00:02:05.901 More importantly, we could receive knowledge there. 00:02:09.628 --> 00:02:27.786 We were happy because we had many friends. We could meet, talk, and joke together. 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. 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. 00:02:54.257 --> 00:02:58.431 What were the extra classes like? Did you have to pay? 00:02:58.868 --> 00:03:00.985 We all had to pay. 00:03:01.452 --> 00:03:04.236 In every extra class subject that we studied, we had to pay. 00:03:04.763 --> 00:03:16.303 At the time, there was an organization hiring teachers to come teach English in that village. 00:03:16.522 --> 00:03:27.236 I didn’t get to study, though, because there were only accepting students below 10th grade. 00:03:27.236 --> 00:03:37.302 I didn’t even know the organization was selecting students. 00:03:38.362 --> 00:03:44.984 I quit school because my knees was starting to hurt. 00:03:45.222 --> 00:03:51.936 Besides, I was young so I didn’t know the importance of going to school. 00:03:52.618 --> 00:04:00.807 I had to get treatment for my knees. The pain lasted 2 to 3 years. 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. 00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:20.236 I’ve had to sell cows and buffalos to get the treatment. 00:04:20.236 --> 00:04:22.511 I even had to get injections. 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. 00:04:27.056 --> 00:04:31.153 I felt frightened. 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. 00:04:44.129 --> 00:04:51.648 I was frightened. I tried to find another treatment that doesn’t involve amputation. 00:04:51.648 --> 00:04:55.938 I had to use expensive medication. One injection cost around 10 dollars. 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. 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. 00:05:22.834 --> 00:05:24.637 Has anyone contacted you? 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. 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. 00:05:41.532 --> 00:05:53.942 When I got the 10-dollar injection, the doctor told me that it would heal. 00:05:54.272 --> 00:06:01.032 Although the swelling went down, I wasn’t able to walk. 00:06:01.859 --> 00:06:10.019 I had about traditional medicine being advertised on the radio, so I went to buy it. 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. 00:06:20.254 --> 00:06:22.784 When did they start hurting? 00:06:23.188 --> 00:06:30.166 They started hurting quite a while back – since I was in school, in 2009. 00:06:32.049 --> 00:06:36.551 They’ve been hurting since. I couldn’t walk. 00:06:36.972 --> 00:06:52.055 I wanted to quit school. I wasn’t learning anything and my knees hurt. 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. 00:07:03.514 --> 00:07:10.525 Though I feel some regrets now. 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? 00:07:16.925 --> 00:07:22.764 They said it was a shame because I had studied that far. 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. 00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:34.821 No, because it was far. I told my friends to tell my teacher. 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. 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. 00:07:48.938 --> 00:07:53.388 The reason why I quit school was because of my family condition. 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. 00:08:15.668 --> 00:08:21.557 Sometimes we have trouble making ends meet. 00:08:21.557 --> 00:08:31.896 Besides, I was young; I didn’t think too much about studying. 00:08:31.896 --> 00:08:33.935 I had to let it be. 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. 00:08:46.472 --> 00:08:49.324 It felt— 00:08:49.324 --> 00:08:50.266 I don't know 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. 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. 00:09:12.557 --> 00:09:14.797 Why? 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. 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 00:09:35.608 --> 00:09:38.796 I was embarrassed. 00:09:38.796 --> 00:09:43.716 I couldn’t go back after being absent for that long. 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. 00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:59.798 No one encouraged me to go back to school after my long absence. 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. 00:10:09.443 --> 00:10:19.228 My neighbors said I shouldn’t have quit school because I’d gone that far. 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:27.655 hey said if I had stayed in school, I would have gotten a high position job. 00:10:27.655 --> 00:10:30.446 That’s what they told me when I saw them. 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. 00:10:33.958 --> 00:10:39.519 It was because I had been absent for a long time. 00:10:40.148 --> 00:10:46.039 When I was in school, I wasn’t an outstanding student. 00:10:47.534 --> 00:10:53.581 My study was quite poor because I couldn’t attend class as regularly as the others. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:12:07.857 --> 00:12:13.362 I’ve participated since 2010. I quit in 2006. 00:12:16.647 --> 00:12:27.512 I joined the center as a volunteer in 2010. They were selecting people, and I applied. 00:12:29.612 --> 00:12:35.295 I’ve joined and other organizations know me so they contacted me to go to trainings. 00:12:35.295 --> 00:12:38.344 The trainings included topics like health and village agriculture. 00:12:38.344 --> 00:12:44.331 There weren’t as many organizations as there are now. 00:12:44.331 --> 00:12:50.160 I got to know other organizations through my participation, and I learned about social work. 00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:58.004 I asked to become a volunteer and I’ve been doing social work ever since. 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. 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. 00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:31.953 I’ve done some work with organizations such as promoting human rights. 00:13:31.953 --> 00:13:39.656 I was asked to gather the villagers to share what I’ve learned to them. 00:13:42.953 --> 00:13:52.672 Some people in the village know me as a volunteer in organizations. 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. 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. 00:14:19.942 --> 00:14:25.407 I think I will continue my volunteer work. 00:14:26.337 --> 00:14:33.308 I hope my community will receive good things 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. 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. 00:15:04.141 --> 00:15:09.091 They will have to take over what we’ve done. 00:15:11.147 --> 00:15:14.883 Where will you go if they take over what you’ve done? 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. 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. 00:15:35.441 --> 00:15:48.611 After not going to school for so long and seeing my friends learning and being educated 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. 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.712 The organizations call us to go to meetings. 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:16:49.670 --> 00:16:51.783 The tasks are not difficult. 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. 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. 00:17:08.418 --> 00:17:12.270 When my legs were hurting, my friends understood. 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. 00:17:19.306 --> 00:17:45.066 They understood. They felt regret that I quit school. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:18:55.628 --> 00:19:00.533 They don’t dare to go to school anymore, so they drop out. 00:19:01.017 --> 00:19:08.186 Some students fall in love and abandon their study. 00:19:09.998 --> 00:19:15.394 It’s sad that they quit school at a young age. 00:19:17.186 --> 00:19:24.033 Although I didn’t get to study much, I still felt regret to see that. 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. 00:19:34.486 --> 00:19:40.487 My knowledge doesn’t increase because I quit school. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:20:36.614 --> 00:20:45.531 The beginning is hard, but it’ll be okay after a while. 00:20:47.886 --> 00:20:54.385 The dropout rate has decreased a bit now because they have more understanding of it. 00:20:54.385 --> 00:21:03.080 Some students learn from organizations that come to their schools. 00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:07.540 The organizations raise awareness to the teachers. They understand a lot now. 00:21:08.301 --> 00:21:15.021 The dropout rate has also decreased, though there are still dropouts. 00:21:16.011 --> 00:21:23.109 I felt bored when I was in school because I wasn’t a smart student 00:21:24.329 --> 00:21:31.599 I didn’t get the lessons. I was so bored when I was in school. 00:21:32.308 --> 00:21:36.911 It was too complicated. 00:21:37.387 --> 00:21:44.502 The road in front of my house wasn’t like this 10 years ago. 00:21:44.922 --> 00:21:50.879 It was in pieces and water was flowing through. 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. 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. 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. 00:22:11.162 --> 00:22:21.915 That road hadn’t been fixed yet when I was in the 7th and 8th grade. 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. 00:22:30.335 --> 00:22:34.625 They began fixing it, although it wasn’t as big as it is now. 00:22:35.465 --> 00:22:40.173 Eventually, they began expanding the road until it is this big now. 00:22:40.173 --> 00:22:44.375 I heard they were going to turn the road into asphalt rubber. 00:22:44.375 --> 00:22:47.569 The road is road number 53A. 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. 00:22:55.933 --> 00:23:00.227 I’m not lying; that’s what I heard. We’ll have to see. 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. 00:23:09.936 --> 00:23:14.256 There have been more people traveling in and out of the village. 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. 00:23:19.742 --> 00:23:30.723 People travel through all the time because the road is easy to drive through. 00:23:30.723 --> 00:23:37.872 There are also disadvantages for the villagers. 00:23:39.782 --> 00:23:43.600 If there isn’t any rain for several days, the road becomes foggy with dust. 00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:46.590 The fog is so thick that you can’t see through when a car drives past. 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. 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? 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. 00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:18.543 Some of them didn’t get severely ill, but some did. 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. 00:24:33.017 --> 00:24:37.817 It goes into my house and other people’s houses as well. 00:24:38.485 --> 00:24:42.815 We couldn’t see anything. Dry seasons are very dusty. 00:24:44.116 --> 00:24:50.716 Before the road was fixed, there wasn’t any dust cloud. 00:24:52.610 --> 00:24:58.630 It has been dusty ever since the road got fixed. 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. 00:25:07.129 --> 00:25:11.351 My family and all the other families keep complaining about that. 00:25:11.351 --> 00:25:15.351 We have never requested a fire truck to come spray water on the road. 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:23.209 We have talked about it. Some have only talked amongst themselves. 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. 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. 00:25:47.270 --> 00:25:51.270 Why are they not taking note of the problem? 00:25:51.697 --> 00:25:58.912 I think it’s because they think they can’t afford to fix the problem. 00:25:58.912 --> 00:26:01.742 This road is quite long. 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— 00:26:22.662 --> 00:26:24.662 Okay, start. 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. 00:26:53.837 --> 00:27:09.927 The main problem for the villagers is their living condition. 00:27:09.927 --> 00:27:21.363 As you can see, there isn’t anyone in this village whose living condition is great. 00:27:21.363 --> 00:27:29.995 People here only get by on a daily basis; their livelihood is not that great. 00:27:29.995 --> 00:27:34.415 That’s one of their main problems. Their family’s economy is a priority. 00:27:34.415 --> 00:27:38.415 Along with their kids’ education. 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. 00:28:12.883 --> 00:28:17.373 That’s another one of the problems. 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. 00:28:35.555 --> 00:28:40.555 They won’t listen to one person’s demand. 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. 00:28:56.687 --> 00:29:04.386 If you get fewer votes, you can’t be a leader. 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. 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:14.389 If you do something with involvement from others, you might make mistakes. 00:29:14.419 --> 00:29:18.854 If you do something with many other people, everyone will benefit from it. 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. 00:29:24.504 --> 00:29:28.580 If you’re alone, it’s impossible, because you’re only one person. 00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:34.013 Why do you think it’s wrong to have only one voice? 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. 00:29:44.513 --> 00:29:50.146 How do you get many voices to make a demand to the authority? 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? 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. 00:30:23.153 --> 00:30:32.183 That means we have to meet and discuss first before we make a demand. 00:30:35.013 --> 00:30:39.333 I think the demands in the commune are okay. 00:30:39.333 --> 00:30:44.553 Our local authorities are quite easy-going. 00:30:44.553 --> 00:30:51.953 Before, we lacked a water canal 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. 00:31:01.073 --> 00:31:04.913 The villagers raised that issue, and they responded. 00:31:04.913 --> 00:31:10.903 It was just like before we had the road. 00:31:10.903 --> 00:31:17.483 The villagers talked about the road problems, so they built a road in response to that. 00:31:17.483 --> 00:31:23.283 Some problems can’t be resolved. There’s a limit to the commune council’s ability. 00:31:23.283 --> 00:31:33.113 Some demands can’t be met yet. Some demands are fulfilled. 00:31:33.116 --> 00:31:40.766 Some demands are rejected because the commune has to contact the higher level authority 00:31:40.766 --> 00:31:44.766 so those demands are not met yet. 00:31:46.774 --> 00:31:51.884 The climate here hasn’t been the same. 00:31:51.884 --> 00:31:58.694 It has changed. It used to be dry every July. 00:31:59.948 --> 00:32:11.148 But this year, it’s been raining till it floods. 00:32:11.148 --> 00:32:15.148 There had never been flooding in this area until this year. 00:32:15.148 --> 00:32:19.008 There was too much rain, so it floods. 00:32:19.008 --> 00:32:23.008 Some areas have flooding, but some don’t. 00:32:23.008 --> 00:32:29.758 As for the heat, the temperature only got to over 30 degree Celsius. 00:32:29.758 --> 00:32:34.718 That was considered very hot. 00:32:34.718 --> 00:32:38.671 But now, it’s gotten to 40 to 41 degrees. 00:32:41.849 --> 00:32:51.317 That’s the temperature this year. It has increased a lot. 00:32:51.317 --> 00:32:56.175 It’s because we have our provincial radio station. 00:32:56.175 --> 00:32:58.756 They broadcast heat warnings. 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. 00:33:06.496 --> 00:33:10.369 They tell us to be careful. 00:33:10.369 --> 00:33:20.351 There was flooding a few years ago. It flooded below my house. 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. 00:33:27.061 --> 00:33:30.431 It’s only this year. There’s too much water. 00:33:30.431 --> 00:33:34.431 In the years before, there would only be this much water in September. 00:33:34.431 --> 00:33:38.431 There’s too much water and too much rain this year. 00:33:38.431 --> 00:33:48.643 Before, if there was a drought or anything, they prayed in their traditional way. 00:33:48.643 --> 00:33:56.063 They prayed, got possessed by spirits, or gave offerings to the pagodas to ask for rain. 00:33:57.485 --> 00:34:08.058 But now, they meet up and discuss; they close off the water canal. 00:34:08.058 --> 00:34:12.421 There was a drought the year before as well. 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. 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. 00:34:26.282 --> 00:34:30.282 They also prayed when there was a flooding. 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. 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. 00:35:01.177 --> 00:35:05.345 We got the water canal and reservoir this year. 00:35:05.345 --> 00:35:10.554 Those who have money would dig a pond near their rice field to get water. 00:35:10.554 --> 00:35:14.385 Some have water pump for their farms. 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 00:35:30.724 --> 00:35:34.724 to find a way to solve the problem rather than just talk about it. 00:35:34.724 --> 00:35:42.081 If there’s a problem, we’ll find the solution quicker if we all work together. 00:35:42.081 --> 00:35:47.312 However, if we only complain about how hard the problem is 00:35:47.312 --> 00:35:50.250 the problem would still be there. 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. 00:35:55.454 --> 00:35:58.553 What about organizations and NGOs? 00:35:58.953 --> 00:36:01.650 As for organizations and NGOs 00:36:02.385 --> 00:36:07.229 when they come here, we make requests. 00:36:09.481 --> 00:36:14.753 When they come to the village and see the situation 00:36:17.322 --> 00:36:30.871 we tell them that our families are facing certain problems due to natural disasters. 00:36:31.377 --> 00:36:43.693 We always request items, cash or other aids from organizations for those facing the problem. 00:36:43.693 --> 00:36:47.576 We tell the organizations about the problem. 00:36:49.195 --> 00:36:55.027 As for drought, I think first, it’s climate change. 00:36:55.346 --> 00:37:04.615 Climate change is due to deforestation. I never encountered droughts when I was young. 00:37:05.028 --> 00:37:10.841 It’s only these past few years that we’ve been having droughts. 00:37:10.841 --> 00:37:15.259 It used to rain whenever it was time. 00:37:15.259 --> 00:37:20.123 That was because trees attract rain. 00:37:24.184 --> 00:37:29.659 Now that the trees are gone, it hasn’t been raining as much. 00:37:29.659 --> 00:37:34.031 Sometimes it rains early in the month or irregularly. 00:37:34.031 --> 00:37:42.046 This community has lost about 50% of its forest. 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. 00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:57.919 There isn’t any tree this big now. There are only trees this big. 00:37:57.919 --> 00:38:01.919 The trees have decreased drastically. 00:38:01.919 --> 00:38:05.919 Deforestation is due to people. 00:38:05.919 --> 00:38:09.235 Some people cut them down and sell them. 00:38:09.235 --> 00:38:11.982 Some cleared the forest. 00:38:11.982 --> 00:38:20.485 Some delivered the land to private companies. We’ve lost our forest. 00:38:20.485 --> 00:38:26.051 There isn’t any land concession here 00:38:26.051 --> 00:38:33.298 but some villagers own land that is near the border of Pursat Province. 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. 00:38:43.423 --> 00:38:45.562 That’s the land close to Pursat Province. 00:38:45.562 --> 00:38:55.938 The company came here to track the GPS on the villagers’ land. 00:38:55.938 --> 00:39:05.574 The villagers went and filed a complaint at the provincial hall. 00:39:05.574 --> 00:39:09.110 I don’t remember the place. 00:39:09.110 --> 00:39:10.650 The provincial hall. 00:39:10.650 --> 00:39:13.708 Yes, the provincial hall. 00:39:13.708 --> 00:39:21.961 They filed a complaint there and a provincial Excellency came to help keep the companies away. 00:39:21.961 --> 00:39:28.994 Many students came to measure the villagers’ land so that they could get their land registered. 00:39:28.994 --> 00:39:32.660 They got their land registered, and the land concession has withdrawn. 00:39:32.660 --> 00:39:40.167 Though there might be land concessions in other communes. 00:39:40.167 --> 00:39:44.655 I don’t know because I don’t know much about other communes. 00:39:44.655 --> 00:39:48.045 I heard that there were companies going to demolish the land there 00:39:48.045 --> 00:39:52.165 but there isn’t land concession anymore here in Anhchanh Rung Commune. 00:39:52.501 --> 00:39:57.051 There are villagers here and villagers elsewhere coming in to cut down the trees. 00:39:57.051 --> 00:40:00.518 The villagers here cut down the trees to use as firewood. 00:40:00.518 --> 00:40:04.431 They build kilns, so they sell firewood. 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 00:40:11.078 --> 00:40:18.198 because their village doesn’t have any tree. 00:40:18.198 --> 00:40:24.618 Some people buy land in the forest, so they cleared the trees to farm. 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. 00:40:33.147 --> 00:40:35.582 We only have the small trees. 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 00:40:51.728 --> 00:40:57.325 because although we have a community forest, we only have the temporary permit. 00:40:57.325 --> 00:41:00.053 It’s not official yet. 00:41:01.686 --> 00:41:11.224 We’re demanding recognition from the provincial authorities that we do indeed have a community forest. 00:41:11.224 --> 00:41:17.411 We have noted the exact border points. 00:41:17.411 --> 00:41:26.608 The companies that were going to do land concessions have also withdrawn from our community forest. 00:41:29.946 --> 00:41:32.626 'Do they arrest anyone? 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. 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. 00:41:55.573 --> 00:42:00.686 What do the villagers usually do for a living? 00:42:02.263 --> 00:42:09.230 Besides rice farming, the villagers plant crops or raise animals. 00:42:09.230 --> 00:42:11.911 Some go to work for others. 00:42:13.647 --> 00:42:22.587 Besides rice farming, they know how to make kilns and charcoals. 00:42:24.757 --> 00:42:28.832 Those are their jobs besides rice farming. 00:42:29.263 --> 00:42:34.718 As for youths who are dropouts, they migrate and find work far away. 00:42:35.988 --> 00:42:38.868 They come back after a few months. 00:42:40.518 --> 00:42:50.610 I have never been in a political campaign parade. I’ve joined the political activities, though. 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. 00:43:04.857 --> 00:43:10.287 I’ve partaken in my favorite political party’s meeting when they discuss their policies. 00:43:13.447 --> 00:43:27.397 When people see me going to meetings with organizations, they think I’m a staff. 00:43:27.397 --> 00:43:30.609 They think I probably have money. 00:43:30.609 --> 00:43:34.389 They don’t know. 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. 00:43:40.912 --> 00:43:49.029 Some people think I’m probably rich because I frequently go to meetings. 00:43:49.029 --> 00:43:51.971 That’s what they think. 00:43:51.971 --> 00:43:56.361 Some people know, so they understand. 00:43:56.361 --> 00:43:59.992 Some people don’t understand community service. 00:43:59.992 --> 00:44:02.428 They don’t get why we work without getting paid. 00:44:02.428 --> 00:44:07.254 They think it’s better to work other jobs or do some business. 00:44:13.421 --> 00:44:17.560 Some people think differently. 00:44:17.830 --> 00:44:23.991 Some people think I’m a staff and that I have a salary. 00:44:23.991 --> 00:44:29.521 Some people understand; they know that I’m a volunteer. I don’t have any money. 00:44:29.521 --> 00:44:34.563 They know that I’m volunteering for the village. It’s not a job. 00:44:36.083 --> 00:44:42.648 Some people don’t get why we volunteer when we’re not being paid. 00:44:44.122 --> 00:44:50.074 They think it’s better to find another job to earn money. 00:44:50.574 --> 00:44:54.687 They wonder why we keep on doing this when we don’t get any money. 00:44:54.687 --> 00:44:58.935 Some people think like that. Some people understand, so they don’t say it. 00:45:00.995 --> 00:45:03.310 For me or for everyone? 00:45:03.310 --> 00:45:04.787 For you. 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. 00:45:16.437 --> 00:45:19.853 I have some knowledge on legal issues. 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. 00:45:25.756 --> 00:45:31.305 When we raise issues, the leaders think we might have high education. 00:45:32.162 --> 00:45:36.302 We know a lot about what goes on in society. That’s our power. 00:45:36.952 --> 00:45:42.241 We have created saving groups 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. 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. 00:46:16.319 --> 00:46:25.032 We have celebrated International Human Rights Day, which we organized in this village. 00:46:25.032 --> 00:46:34.858 We requested to the donors to get money to organize the event. 00:46:36.024 --> 00:46:42.734 We cooperated with the local authority, and they were happy to work with us. 00:46:42.734 --> 00:46:44.943 We have organized forums. 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. 00:46:55.849 --> 00:46:58.742 Our group has been a part of many events. 00:47:00.072 --> 00:47:04.812 We stood out the most during the ASEAN Conference in 2012. 00:47:07.432 --> 00:47:11.727 That's one of our proudest moments. 00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:24.883 People from 10 countries participated, but our group stood out the most in Cambodia. 00:47:29.493 --> 00:47:36.276 I’m happy to volunteer in the community. 00:47:36.276 --> 00:47:45.051 I’m also concerned because our education level is limited 00:47:45.051 --> 00:47:54.110 our education level is low, so what we can do in the village is still limited. 00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:07.340 Our knowledge is low, so there are some tasks that we can’t do. 00:48:08.350 --> 00:48:12.455 We don’t meet up as often, so I’m concerned. 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. 00:48:25.414 --> 00:48:27.679 We don’t get paid for what we do. 00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.614 When we work an unpaid job 00:48:31.614 --> 00:48:35.549 Living conditions are very important 00:48:35.549 --> 00:48:40.241 Some members work jobs that can pay them and they leave this place 00:48:40.241 --> 00:48:42.173 That’s my big concern. 00:48:44.933 --> 00:48:48.623 It’s currently rice-farming season 00:48:48.623 --> 00:48:52.634 So sometimes the members can’t meet up 00:48:55.474 --> 00:49:00.255 We can’t meet and discuss. That’s my concern. 00:49:01.425 --> 00:49:02.076 Yes 00:49:03.456 --> 00:49:09.239 I have my parents and an aunt who is living with me 00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:13.332 I have 5 siblings. I’m the second child. 00:49:13.332 --> 00:49:16.440 My brother finished his bachelor degree 00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:19.004 He has a family and a job in Phnom Penh 00:49:19.004 --> 00:49:21.527 My younger sibling is also married. 00:49:21.527 --> 00:49:24.001 The two youngest are studying 00:49:25.521 --> 00:49:29.492 My family and I farm rice 00:49:29.492 --> 00:49:34.183 and we have other minor jobs to make a living 00:49:36.553 --> 00:49:40.556 The livelihood of the villagers here has improved now 00:49:41.246 --> 00:49:45.301 It’s not as bad as before 00:49:51.511 --> 00:49:54.594 Sophorn Take 8. 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. 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. 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. 00:51:28.135 --> 00:51:34.343 We can’t meet and discuss. That’s my concern. 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? 00:52:02.413 --> 00:52:06.533 How are your siblings’ studying? Okay? 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. 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. 00:52:56.929 --> 00:53:01.919 Thank you! 00:53:03.839 --> 00:53:13.052 We got it in 1979. The government gave us the land. 00:53:13.863 --> 00:53:19.754 We took whatever land we got. The rest was up to the government. 00:53:19.754 --> 00:53:25.216 It varied from family to family. Everyone got the same. 00:53:25.986 --> 00:53:30.236 It was a rice farm that was used since Pol Pot Regime. 00:53:31.276 --> 00:53:35.507 They came here and already saw the rice farm. 00:53:35.507 --> 00:53:39.458 It’s been a long time – since 1979. 00:53:40.616 --> 00:53:44.360 That’s all. They added one or two. 00:53:45.270 --> 00:53:47.116 Did they buy more? 00:53:47.116 --> 00:53:48.408 They bought more 00:53:48.408 --> 00:53:56.458 They haven’t made it for us yet, but they recognize that it’s our land 00:53:56.458 --> 00:54:01.253 No one has gotten it yet. They gave us the temporary permit already 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. 00:54:10.449 --> 00:54:11.709 My land is 2 hectors big. 00:54:13.600 --> 00:54:14.348 Field land? 00:54:14.348 --> 00:54:16.675 Yes, field land. I don’t have any farm land. 00:54:17.435 --> 00:54:18.850 I don't know. 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. 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. 00:54:42.041 --> 00:54:47.121 How many tons does your family consume in a year? 00:54:48.231 --> 00:54:54.242 My family needs 3 tons to consume and to sell. 00:54:56.639 --> 00:54:58.542 Consumption only. 00:54:58.542 --> 00:55:01.403 Consumption only, we need one or one and a half ton. 00:55:01.403 --> 00:55:06.603 We don’t have much left because we don’t have much money. 00:55:06.603 --> 00:55:11.569 We sell the rice to get money. We only keep enough to eat. 00:55:13.149 --> 00:55:14.876 When do you usually sell the rice? 00:55:14.876 --> 00:55:20.076 We sell the rice in dry seasons because there are many events and weddings. 00:55:20.076 --> 00:55:25.024 We sell the rice to give money to the newly wed. 00:55:27.773 --> 00:55:32.726 That uses up a lot of money. We also spend on household items. 00:55:32.726 --> 00:55:38.192 We don’t have much money. We can’t hire someone else. 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. 00:55:44.951 --> 00:56:00.084 I want to hire, too, but they have their own rice field. 00:56:00.084 --> 00:56:01.003 Who would I hire? 00:56:01.003 --> 00:56:04.867 Everyone here works on their own farm. There’s no one that we can hire. 00:56:04.867 --> 00:56:09.349 We keep our own seedlings to plant every year. 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. 00:56:13.964 --> 00:56:16.816 Can you tell us the seedling selection process? 00:56:16.816 --> 00:56:21.646 After harvesting, we select the seedlings. 00:56:21.646 --> 00:56:36.144 We normally keep 3 wooden baskets of seedlings separate and keep the rest for consumption. 00:56:36.144 --> 00:56:42.235 It’s hard because it’s farming season now. 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. 00:56:49.979 --> 00:56:58.641 I have to put this work on hold and let my family do it. 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. 00:57:08.601 --> 00:57:16.306 If the meetings are too frequent, then I miss out on this work every day. 00:57:17.180 --> 00:57:19.992 It’s okay if it’s not seedlings transplanting season. 00:57:19.992 --> 00:57:25.199 It’s farming season. I have to manage the time. 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. 00:57:30.777 --> 00:57:35.774 I would then stop at 8 or 9 and go to the meeting. 00:57:37.314 --> 00:57:41.996 It’s okay if it’s dry season. 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. 00:57:48.763 --> 00:57:53.572 They say I waste this work and don’t get anything back in return. 00:57:53.572 --> 00:57:56.845 They would only scold me for a bit. 00:57:56.845 --> 00:58:00.770 There’s nothing I can do; that’s the way it is. 00:58:00.770 --> 00:58:06.436 It’s okay if it’s not farming season. They don’t think it’s troublesome. 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. 00:58:13.007 --> 00:58:20.900 They’re older now. When I go, they have to farm on their own. 00:58:21.642 --> 00:58:24.936 What do you think? 00:58:25.813 --> 00:58:31.756 There’s nothing to think. I explain to them. 00:58:34.029 --> 00:58:36.353 I tell them what I learn from the meeting. 00:58:36.353 --> 00:58:39.900 Then they’ll understand. They will let me go. 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. 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. 00:58:59.880 --> 00:59:04.452 It was dry. We only got the water from the rain from the day before. (inaudible) 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. 00:59:11.551 --> 00:59:16.026 I think it’s okay here because there’s enough rain in the farming season. 00:59:16.026 --> 00:59:18.782 People get to farm their rice. 00:59:20.024 --> 00:59:25.162 The water canal is quite tough to use because there’s only water when it rains. 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. 00:59:32.787 --> 00:59:36.170 It was dry. There’s no water when there’s no rain. 00:59:37.292 --> 00:59:42.628 The water canal can’t store the water alone. We need to have reservoirs, too. 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. 00:59:58.987 --> 01:00:02.162 I have asked them to find a solution for the farmers 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 01:00:47.505 --> 01:00:54.046 Yes, it hurts. Every time I overwork, my knee hurts; and my bones, too. 01:00:54.046 --> 01:00:56.564 There is quite some difficulty. 01:00:58.933 --> 01:01:03.021 Have you seen any doctors yet? 01:01:03.388 --> 01:01:06.566 I’m thinking of having it checked after planting seedlings. 01:01:06.566 --> 01:01:09.390 I had it checked once around 6 years ago when it first started aching. 01:01:09.390 --> 01:01:13.610 So, after planting the seedlings, I’ll have it checked. 01:01:16.730 --> 01:01:19.080 Is it still hurting like it used to? 01:01:20.091 --> 01:01:24.617 Not that much. It only hurts when I work too hard. 01:01:24.617 --> 01:01:30.017 Back then, I could never even walk when it hurt. It only hurts sometimes now. 01:01:30.017 --> 01:01:32.522 Can you tell me in details how it hurts you? 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. 01:01:46.364 --> 01:01:51.073 It hurts like there is something stuck in the bone. 01:01:51.528 --> 01:01:54.738 Have you been fighting with it all these times? Yes. 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. 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. 01:02:09.943 --> 01:02:10.991 Sophorn! 01:02:10.991 --> 01:02:11.769 Huh? 01:02:11.769 --> 01:02:13.759 Have you eaten? - Not yet. 01:02:42.414 --> 01:02:43.933 Go buy 01:02:45.103 --> 01:02:46.505 a pack of MSG 01:02:48.935 --> 01:02:51.283 2 packs of Tiger Cake 01:02:55.921 --> 01:03:02.361 a pack of coconut jelly, and buy some snack for the rest of the money. 01:03:05.631 --> 01:03:11.211 Buy the MSG at the place you told me the other day. 01:03:23.531 --> 01:03:24.971 How much? 01:03:26.243 --> 01:03:27.634 2500 riels. 01:03:29.214 --> 01:03:30.731 They are all delicious. 01:03:31.531 --> 01:03:34.232 Oh, did you get the plastic bag torn off? 01:03:37.093 --> 01:03:38.871 No, it’s okay. 01:03:39.698 --> 01:03:41.699 Are they Khmer bills? 01:03:45.919 --> 01:03:48.309 Pick one. 01:04:13.197 --> 01:04:15.208 Yes. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Here, for yesterday as well. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Aunty, do you want some Nom Bahnjok?

I don’t have enough. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m taking these 2. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Take another pack. You still have 600 riels for the change. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Wait! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why do want to keep the change? It’s not much. That one is 2500 riels.

Pack them in 2 packages separately. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 How many do you want? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Here, 200 riels. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The amount of the cake keeps decreasing. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m not messing with you. I’m just talking about the seller that keeps decreasing the amount of it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It is pretty much less now for 1000 riels. 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? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think it’ll be soon so that it can be broadcast soon as well. 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? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think it was difficult because we had to go back and forth. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So, what do you think then? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m not going to say much, but switching voice actors made it difficult. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The voice recording might be easy, but it will be difficult for the editor. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think so because it was very random. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was complicated. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was almost going to be finished already when I was there. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But Chhang Theang and the others in the village haven’t voice recordinged as well. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They have once, haven’t they? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They have, but it isn’t enough yet. It was only for stage 2. 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. 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? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s why I’m telling you that we need to voice recording again. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It shouldn’t be voice recordinged again. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Chap Seng told me that he was too busy to voice recording it either. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was because we knew how to use the correct terminology and hilarious language. 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. 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. 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? 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It’s hard for me to talk about it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Because if I talk about it, we might have troubles. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Do you know what kind of troubles they are? For example, violence. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There was a family which the members didn’t get along, and they always used violence. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 First, we shall explain them why they shouldn’t continue doing so. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is about violence. Is there anything else? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They are the same. We should always help those who are in troubles. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Of course, everyone is equal. No one’s better. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Are you afraid that they would criticize us? Have you ever thought of that? 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. 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. 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? 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 How did they not know about this from the start? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 No one knew about it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 He minds too much. He shouldn’t haven minded with such things. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 He should’ve understood that we didn’t have that kind of feelings. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Do they only want the voice from Hout? Not only a word or two? 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. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 He wasn’t supposed to be upset and mined such thing. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I don’t know because they were voice recordinging the whole time, not me. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Really? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yes. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why did they make her the voice actress for the village’s chief? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Some actors didn’t get to talk much. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Just like me. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 A word or two then that’s it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m too lazy to think about it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Someone’s calling you. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Related to the article… 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 What? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Related to the article, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 What about it? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 How much do they charge for it? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I haven’t met them yet. I have to scrutinize the article. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think I can get to work on 2 articles. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Is that so? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The more I write, the more I know about it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Work on an article a day and revise it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think so. I think you’ll get to work on article a day. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Including the voice recording? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yes. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I can do it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Well, you can earn 100 Dollars already for this month. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Try to get an article for a day. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If you were (inaudible), you could get a few articles already. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Can you teach me someday? 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If one of you asks me for help, I’ll charge you. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Will you charge? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’ll charge 2 Dollars. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yes, 2 Dollars is fair enough. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Can it be 1.5 Dollars? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 How can you charge 2 dollars for this little thing? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m actually the one writing it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s because I told you to study, but you didn’t. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I don’t remember, that’s why I’m asking you to show it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Where are you going, girls? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Are you going to Bes Pak? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Hi! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Hurry, it’s hard for them to take a video of your hip. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They are finding lobsters. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why don’t you make stirred lobsters today? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I suggest putting a lock for the door. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That one. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think it’s okay because there hasn’t been anything bad here. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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. 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. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Do not leave it here. You must make sure to lock all the lockers. 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. 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. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s easy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But if Yon takes full responsibility, there will be no one to help locking the lockers. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s good. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’m trying my best to settle and help everyone to have the easiest way. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Doing so, they can lock them properly. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If the lockers aren’t locked, we wouldn’t feel secure. I understand that. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Even though, bad things haven’t happened, but we have to be prepared and more careful. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And what can we do when there’s something happening? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Who to blame when things happen? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We can’t do anything, see? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I can ask a handyman to fix the door in the afternoon and have it drilled. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The key is with me already, but there’re still problems. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There are many groups in our community, so sometimes when the one guarding gets switch 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Have you noted down? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yes, we have because when someone wants to monitor our items in our community 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we must be able to show them what we have. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We must be responsible because they are ours, not just one of us. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 As we have brought up a point, let me bring out another point. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 However, those who got to go there were representatives of our community. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Those who passed were the ones we selected and sent from here. 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. 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. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Mostly, we can do it 70%. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There are 2 ways in providing the knowledge, the easy and the hard ways. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 About the computer, it’s a bit hard because there’s only one computer. 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. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If there’s anything you need, just raise your idea. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We will try to give more support We can give software or technical support. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One more thing, the schedule you told me about is wrong. 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. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There aren’t that many women that can come and sleep there. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I know there are still problems, but we are trying to make it better as you. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There are people that can come on time because they have to guard.
