The Meaern Family

Our Story

Industrious Meaern Sarun lives with his wife, Mai Porn, and their three children along a muddy road east of SALT School. Owing a large debt of over $4,000 USD, he works three jobs – a construction worker, a farmer, and a fisherman. Each of these jobs are labour intensive for Meaern Sarun, showing his admirable dedication to supporting his family!

Through the extra work, the family has managed to afford electricity for their small house which is an amazing achievement. While they are proud of their house, they know that since they do not own their land, they may have to move as the area continues to develop. It is the parents’ intention that their three small children will attend SALT School when they are old enough.
