Sou In was born in Seirey village , Kokchork commune, Siem Reap district and province. Her father’s name is Chran Suor and he died. Her mother’s name is Hoeurn Von and she is 42 years old.
She has six siblings, five sisters and one brother. She is the fourth child in her family. She was raised by her mother in the single parent family before she stayed at the orphanage. She failed at grade 2 of Kokchork Primary School and moved to study at Mukneak Primary School, because it is near to the orphanage where she stay. Now she is at grade 2 of Mukneak Primary School. She loves to study so much and she usually gets good grades each month. She is good at maths, but she likes the Khmer literature course at school. She doesn’t know what she wants to be. She is staying at the orphanage alone without any brothers or sisters. She was taken to stay at the orphanage by her mother, because she cannot raise her six children on her own. She can earn only one dollar per day by selling some vegetables at the market.
In ACODO, she has been provided with shelters, sustenance, through regularly feeding three times of meals per day, daily supplies - clothes, shoes, mosquito nets, blankets, mattress, medical supplies, school supplies, especially rice supplies and other things to use every day.
Furthermore, she has been provided with one hour per day of learning English with voluntary teachers who came from different countries around the world and two hours of practicing Khmer traditional dancing.
After practicing Coconut and fishing dance for a few months, she becomes a Coconut and fishing dancer. She performs on the stage at the orphanage at 6:30 every evening. Visitors look surprised at her fantastic dancing on the stage.
Besides those, she has been regularly sent to public school the same as other children with parents as well.
She is very lucky to have been accepted to live in ACODO orphanage and so she can study many subjects and get much more support. Especially, she can study the skills of Khmer traditional dancing.
