A 15-year-old Cambodian girl talks about her dreams for the future
Pov Somaun is 15-year-old girl in grade seven. Until she began taking classes through Samaritan’s Purse, she didn’t have a plan for her future. Through the lessons, she learned about having dreams, making plans, creating a healthy marriage, and having healthy communication. She now has a clear vision of what her future looks like and knows how to prepare for it.
She recently told us about the impact the classes have had on her life.

PS: Yes. I have heard about Jesus through the project staff.

PS: I’ve shared what I have learned with my classmates during school time. Many students listen to what I’ve learned. As a result, I have many friends in my class.
