Changing Cambodia

Before I came to Liger I saw a lot of problems and I always hope that I can solve it in one day. There many problems in Cambodia and my eyes couldn’t see all that situation. When I came to Liger I’m so excited because it is the best place for me. Liger give a good education.

Last year I could help to change small things in Cambodia.

 

Problems:

After I came to Liger I still see the problems like rubbish, cutting down trees, poverty, no clean water for people to use, corruption (bribery), electricity, pollution, students go internet place to play games instead of school. All of these problems are making Cambodia to become one of the poorest and most corruption. Cambodia can become of the worst countries in the world if there are the problems like that happen. I’m not really happy because if Cambodia still all of those problems, there will be no chance to become better.

Solution:  

Everyday I always try to find out the solutions. My solution for the people to manage their waste is I want people to just throw the rubbish anywhere they want, they should have their own basket to put their waste and they should divide the basket. Also if the waste that we can recycle it to something that is helpful, we save the planet, too. The solution for cutting down the trees is the government should make a better law and treat the people to respect the law and don’t do anything that against the law. Cambodia need the people to respect their own position. Cambodia is the developing country and Cambodia also have a lot poor people who can’t afford to buy the food for their family and themselves. I think government should make more sub sector in the secondary because the people are really need the work to feed their family. There are a lot of pollutions in Cambodia such as air pollution, water pollution and other pollution that effect to the environment. I think the government make the law to protect the environment and then make the law to be tight until people respect it. Most the kids, teenage in Cambodia are needing education for the future, but most of them are not going to school, they only went to an internet place to play games, Facebook and other bad things. It’s really bad for the ages like that to go to the internet place instead of going to school. I think the parents should put the rules for them to respect. The parents are not helping them and that’s why they become like that. Sometimes they go out of the house and use the illegal drugs. If the parents can put a better hard rules, it will be great because the children can respect it and follow it.

From the past until now I made a lot of change in Liger, but this year I also a small change problems for Cambodia. One exploration from this year that I did a promotion is Recycle Community. My group include I did the presentation about waste, like type of plastics and also  one of my group member had made a game on a computer for the community to answer the questions. Also my group had showed the products that they made from the waste that people don’t need. It’s look really beautiful and it shows the benefit of waste.

The next exploration that I did a promotion was poverty in Cambodia. I went to Kampong Chhnang to present community people about first aid with Srey Pich. It was my best time because I’m like a professional doctor that gave the great presentation. The special thing is I could use the spray for help the people who have the problem with sprained and my partner Srey Pich. After I presented there were another group that present about that presented about another first aid. After lunch, we had some game with some of the children. I played football with them and some of my group played a balloon game.

 

Baby steps

The baby steps that I made change in this year for Recycle Community are learn about types of plastics and the benefit of waste. It’s a main thing that we must to follow because it leads me to the way that I need to change. It help me by studying about it and present to the people.

 

What I change this year?

What I change this year is in Recycle Community exploration. My group and I taught community people by giving the promotion of waste, plastic and playing game. By that I promotion, there were many things for people to learn. I know that my group did not accomplish all the mission, but we could make a small change to help them, too.

Change Cambodia

In the world, there isn’t anything 100% perfect. So that’s mean that there are always things that need to change. For this year, as I observe one main problem is environmental problem that come from the action of people, such as pollution, trash problems and etc. Also there are more problems such as violence in the family, a lot of smoking and etc.

 

This year I have some conversations with some people such as my family, my friends and some other adults about the problems above. I did not just tell them the problems, but I talk deeply about the problems that will be not good for the society. In that talking I shared about my solution to each of the problem and also the people that I’ve talked to have share their solution.

 

This year I joined a robotics class and beside learning how to build and program the robot because the competition divided into two section, one is robot game and another one is project.

And the project for this year is called trash trek which is one of an environmental problems. My team chose one type of waste which is plastic to be the main topic to present to the judge. In the class I did a lot of research about plastic problem. On the sharation day I and my other teammates present to the people both about the robot and the project which is about waste problem, including the solution. I do not share what I’ve learned in the school, but I also talk to other people in my community like my friends and old people that I did know. The discussing went very well because everyone started sharing their idea and raise more problems to solve.

 

So, we need small steps to achieve the goal. My goal is for people to use more cloth bags and reduce as much plastic bags as we can. I did not do a lot of things or a lot of small steps, I just prepare a google presentation to people and present to them and if they have any questions, they can ask or some other hard questions that is very difficult for me to understand, we discuss together to find the answer. Also another small step is to understand about the plastic and know what to talk so when we talk to people it isn’t like interviewing them, it is like a discussion.

 

At last I did create some changes, but it isn’t 100% perfect that people do not use plastic bags but they reduce their amount of plastic bags as they use normal. A lot of kids change their behavior of using plastic bag to just not use it if they don’t need to. At last I’m really happy to see people change their behavior, but at the future I want more people to change more to make our world safety.
