Since the beginning of year four, I started thinking what should I’ll be doing for this year to create some change for my country. To say out the word Change I know that it kind of very big word to say out, but if we really want to change something, we need to work hard, try hard and be a role model for the other. Everyone knows, to change something it need time. We can’t change a big thing in one minute but we can do it in a bigger time. So in order to change something or someone its need to start from our self, we should be the one who lead the other and show them the right direction to go and let them make their own way to have a successful life and a brighter future. When I was just a little girl I haven’t thought about anything else other than when I grow up I will find the best job and get a lot of money to support my family but now the opinion had changed. Since I came to Liger from 2012 until 2016 I remembered that all the projects that Liger had provide us were all important and explain how our Life is and how we can use our knowledge to help our self to understand about the real life issue and current events. During the last three years I had been involved in so many projects which had made a lot of success to my country.
There are so many problems that are now having in Cambodia. Some problems that we found out were Traffic in Cambodia , problem with their education and poverty problems.
So during this year in 2016, I had made a lot of new progress. On the 14th of November 2015 I had participated in TEDX ISPP to give a talk about Made In The Future. For this event I had give a speech and talk about Persistent Surveillance System and how this technology can help to change the world and the society. This talk have a link in Youtube which can help people in my country and the world to learn about the Persistent Surveillance System. I am feel so proud of myself and how I can give a speech and help my country.
One big project that I’ve did was my science story book. My partner was Samady we had work very hard and researched so many science topics to get the information to write the book. It was a good experience working together with Samady but also I got to created a book that could help Cambodia kids to learn about the Water Cycle. I really hope that this book can be publish out and then I will share to everyone to learn and help share the first Science story book made by Cambodian kids.
Another project that I had joined was Technovation. It was my first time to join this type of competition. This is a global competition and an opportunity for girls who wanted to joined the coding world and business world. For this project we look at the community problems and see what can we change the problem in our community. My team and I had plan and work until the national pitch arrive. It had been a 12 weeks researching. As the result this application is called LiBook. It is an app that could possibly help the students and everyone in the world to read the book by their smart phone and donate the book to the students who can’t afford to buy the books. This app made most specifically for Cambodian. Through out the survey a lot of students reply with a answer that they really wanted to have this kind of app because they can share and help others and help make a different. On the national pitch my team did a very great job of presenting to the judge but seriously we didn’t get to win the pitch but we did it. We had made our prototype of the app. By the future I will be developing this app into a real app that will allow everyone not just Cambodia to go and read book and donate the book they want to. This is a very powerful experience of learning coding and business but eventually this project also help us think about the future society as well. Even those this app had not been publish but I will develop this app and make a different for Cambodian and be the changer for my country.
One other project which really help to change Cambodian in this year was Kingdom of Wow event. This project was a crazy idea. We had only about like one month in a half to plan about what we will do for the event. This project was organize by the 4 planning committee which are Vornsar, Sovannary, Venghour and the one is actually me. But this project could not become successful with out Jaime(Facilitators) help and guide us. For this event we really working hard to make it happen. We actually went out to some government schools and international schools to work with them about our project and ask them is their students can join to compete with the others Cambodian. This project is very inspire me because I am just a 14 year-old girl and I am planning my own event and searching the talented students. On the 4th of June was the event day. Everyone was very happy and excited to see what Cambodia kids have. I am so proud of myself because I got to work in this project and be a part of the changer. This really make change for Cambodian kids who join our competition. At the end of the competition it was the great result of what we the planning committee had working very hard.
Let see what I am going up to for my next school year!!
