Sokunthea is an active and resilient Change Agent. This bright, passionate young woman is on a journey of self-discovery, determined to find her true calling in life. She has a scholarship from AusCam to support her through University, and she also works part-time as a peer mentor at AusCam's Glow Club, a club that teaches young women about female health issues. She is honing her soft skills and earning a small stipend to contribute to her studies.
Sokunthea is also exploring leadership and her role as an active citizen - she is a leader within the group of young women who are leading the sisterhood of Change Agents. In the past months, that voluntary leadership has seen her speaking with National level Government leaders, mentoring campaign groups, leading large scale leadership and training youth in some of Cambodia's most remote locations.
Her journey has not been without its challenges. She is juggling a lot and dealing with incredible responsibilities. As a Chinese language student, she has faced difficulties understanding the lessons. "I face a lot of challenges with my major, but I feel committed to fighting through it and preparing strategies to improve. I'll make a schedule, read Chinese books, and work on my time management."
With the support of AusCam and her unwavering spirit, Sokunthea is well on her way to discovering her true passion and achieving her dreams. She is a leader, a Change Agent and a scholar, but above all she is a young woman following her heart with courage and conviction, determined to make the world a better place.
