with special guest, Raskey Samnang, a student and debate champion from FH partner communities in Cambodia.

While on-site in Cambodia, host Shelaine sat down with Raskey Samnang, a remarkable young woman sparking positive change in her community. As the sole female member of a debate team that has gone on to compete at the Cambodian national level, Raskey is no stranger to hard work. She also knows what it takes to succeed.

Raskey’s journey hasn’t been without adversity. At a young age, Raskey faced pressures to drop out of school and help support her family, but she knew education had the power to shape not only her future, but the futures of other young people in her community. 

Meet Raskey and hear her story of resilience and self-confidence, and see her vision for how a younger generation can build a thriving future for their communities.
