This is Socheata, age 14. She is learning English in school and she wants to become a doctor when she grows up. I hope by the time she is ready to go to medical school, the teaching will no longer be in French. Would be Cambodian doctors and pharmacists still have to learn French to attend the government Faculty of Medical Sciences. Although this is a bit of an anachronism, some graduates from the medical school are then sent to France for advanced training and professors from France come to teach at the medical school. Socheata is fortunate to have been born into a family of silversmiths in a little village near Oudong, a former capital of Cambodia, not far from Phnom Penh.
