Topic: Seeing the good side of problems

Presented at TEDxPhnomPenh 9 June 2012

Sovathna (better known as Nana) was born in 1986, in Kampong Cham province. From an impoverished family, Nana has been working since she was 14. Starting as an interpreter, her career highlights include work as a counselor, radio presenter and most recently as the president of a local youth volunteer organization. Today, she is the main source of income for her family, but she feels thankful to those responsibilities for shaping who she is today.
