Faces of Ratanakkiri

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Faces of Cambodia: Ratanakiri
Greg Jewell looks at stories of children in the province of Ratanakiri. Ratanakiri is about a nine-hour drive northeast of the capital city Phnom Penh, and is located near the Cambodian and Vietnamese/Laos border. Ratanakiri is best known for its beautiful waterfalls, diverse ethnic communities, a lake in the middle of a mountain formed by an ancient volcano, and as the destination from which trekkers leave for their jungle excursions.

Chen Rachana
Chen Rachana is ten years old and studies in the third grade. She lives in Kak commune, in the Borkeo district of Ratanakiri. Rachana’s community is composed of elevated wooden houses, built on stilts. Rachana’s father runs a small convenience store out of their home. Rachana routinely helps her family with chores around the house and with her father’s business.

Rachana’s parents are illiterate, but she has a tremendous passion for reading and loves to help other children in her village learn to read as well. Rachana says that she enjoys teaching others to read because: “Reading is my favourite thing to do.”
