There are 40 students in Sokhin's class. In her school, girls sit on the right side of the teacher and boys on the left. Sokhin is taught the Khmer language, mathematics, music, geography and to memorize Khmer proverbs. The Khmer people don't see time as others might. No one is sure of their birth date.
Birth dates are approximate.
Sokhin herself looks a year or two younger than the age stated in her sponsorship form. Early afternoon and Sokhin is on her way back home from school. It is a one kilometer walk over a mud road. The wood and bamboo hut is functional. A portion sticking out like a balcony serves as the kitchen.
