Chanthy Chen – Our Co-ordinator in Phnom Penh
“I want to help our children move on, and into a better life….to have their future and choices in their own hands”
My name is Chanthy Chen and I am the Phnom Penh coordinator for Helping Hand.
I have a bachelors degree in Psychology from the Royal University of Phnom Penh and a masters degree in Education and Community Development which was gained at the Asian Social Institute, Manila, Phillipines.
When I graduated from my bachealors degree I worked for one of Cambodia’s most recognized and respected organizations; Cambodia Children’s Fund for 1 year. During this time I realized that I needed, and wanted, to increase my understanding of helping the poor in my country. I then applied for, and got, a scholarship to study in the Phillipines.
When I was a child I had a dream that I just wanted to stand in front of people and say something good to them, to help and encourage them but I did not understand this dream.
However after I graduated from High School I really understood that the subjects I wanted to study were Psychology, Education and Community, all of which can help and encourage others.
Now I am working for Helping Hand I am able to make my dream come true because I can use my skills, knowledge, qualifications and experience to help Cambodian children and their families live better lives and have a better future.
I am so excited to see the children show so much enthusiasm for the opportunity they have to have a good education. I am able to not only encourage them but help them as well by understanding their needs and situation of living in the slum.
To change a child’s life is to not only give them a good education but to help and assist with their mental and physical needs as well.
