We asked some young women in Phnom Penh
“Whats your dream for the future?” PHOTOS BY SENTOSA MAM
Sopheakneath, 19 I want to work in a bank, and I feel like I have a good chance of succeeding. I want to earn a lot of money for the family
Nou Srey Roth, 23
Sita, 21
I want to own a grocery store. My family’s setting up the business so I don’t have much choice! It’s a steady income
I already own a clothing store with my older sister, so I want to continue expanding that. I love fashion so I really enjoy it – it’s not just for the money!
Aka, 24 I want to be an actress, but I’m not sure it’s possible seeing as I work in a hostess bar. Also there’s no money in it, and that’s the most important thing for me. I need to help my family
Somalin, 16 I want to be a doctor. I want to do it for myself – I’m interested in it. I want to study cancer and help the world
Roth, 25 I want to be a flight attendant. I’m still studying, but I’m worried I don’t know enough languages to make it. I want to see lots of different countries, but the main reason is to earn money for my family
