SEK Theum:
32 years, Pottery Teacher
I am from Battambang Province, was born deaf and could not hear or speak. My family was looking for a deaf school for me in Battambang. After I graduated from the school for the deaf, I came to find work in Siem Reap, a beautiful province with a rich history in Cambodia.
As a deaf person, it is not easy to find a job. Coincidentally, one day I met the same deaf person, and we talked about finding a job. He also recommended me to apply here because he also works in this company. When I got a job here, I secured a position as a potter. Over the past 7 years, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pottery. I always share this knowledge with people around me, as well as tourists who visit here.
