Born in 1977 in Siem Reap, Cambodia, my journey has been one of resilience, adaptability, and purpose. In 1986, my family fled to Belgium, where I grew up, studied, and built a strong foundation in multi-language. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite the distance, Cambodia remained close to my heart. When I first returned in 2000, I felt a deep desire to contribute to improving the lives of Khmer people. In 2020, after coming back to reunite with my family, the unexpected circumstances of COVID-19 turned into an opportunity to bring my vision to life. This led to the creation of Clean Kulen Center Recycles<\/em>, an initiative that blends education and sustainability. <\/span><\/p>\n Together with dedicated volunteers, and skilled seamstresses, the center provides English language instruction and digital skills training in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
