One morning, Chen woke up to find her body no longer responded like it once did. An unexpected illness had robbed her muscles of their strength, making even simple tasks like walking near impossible.

Chen felt scared in those early days, facing an unfamiliar future. But she never gave up hope. She just had to take it one day at a time, finding new ways to adapt and pursue her dreams. That’s when Chen joined the JWOC program and met mentors who saw her potential, not her disability. They empowered Chen to believe in herself again.

Now Chen is proud to work part-time here with us at SiemReapShuttletours. She greets every customer with a warm smile and approaches each task with quiet determination. Having Chen on our team reminds us that disability does not define ability.

At SiemReapShuttletours, we believe in sustaining communities by investing in youth like Chen. Her perseverance deeply inspires us, and we hope it inspires you too. When you choose to travel with us, you choose a company that cares about empowering Cambodian youth to overcome challenges and transform their lives. Chen’s story shows the change that happens when we support each other with compassion.

So next time you’re in Siem Reap, come say hello to Chen! She has an incredible spirit that motivates us each day here.
