The Sean Family
Our Story
Sean Kosal and his wife, Som Dany, have been through a lot together. Having been duped into a loan by local loan sharks at a mammoth 50% compounding interest; the two have quickly accrued over $4,000 USD of debt and have separated to try to earn money as the growing debt is tragically tearing the family apart.
Sean Kosal stays in Ta Skor to guard their several daughters from local boys who have been bothering them, an additional problem for their vulnerable family, and tries to earn money as a fisherman. Som Dany has found work elsewhere as a waitress, and sends money back to her family every month. “We can earn as much as $10 a day, but sometimes nothing,” Sean Kosal says – highlighting the difficulty of staying afloat on sporadic incomes! All four of the girls attend both SALT school and the government school.
