average life expectancy: 71yrs

Religion: Theravada Buddhism

HDI: 0.555

School life expectancy: 10yrs

GNP: $43Billion

GDP per capita: 2,890 PPP Dollars

0.1% of a Doctor for every person

People below the poverty line: 3m

Natural Factors: Climate and Location: Hot temperatures and a lot of rainfall from May to October and might cause floods. Droughts can also occur from November to April because of the dry season. Rainfall can cause floods which lead to the physical infrastructure needing to be repaired

Cultural Factors: Following the 5 year struggle, Cambodia has quite poor living conditions. The houses are not normally so bad but due to the regular rainfall and droughts, also because of war, it’s hard to keep the house the same way. Disease, there is a 0.6% HIV prevalence rate in cambodia. This can lead to a big amount of money being spent on treating the people with diseases.

We can bond with our pen-pals by doing what they do, but with a twist on what we do.

Seila Chea is a 16-year old student from Siem Reap, Cambodia. In this post, he writes about a typical school day in Cambodia. The text is originally written in Khmer.
My name is Seila. I am an 8th grader of 10 January 1979 High School in Siem Reap in the Northwest of Cambodia. I was born in a village about 30 kilometers away from Siem Reap. Here, I spent my childhood and went to primary school before moving to my aunt who lives in the outskirts of Siem Reap.

Usually, I go to school from Monday to Saturday and have one day off on Sunday. Everyday, I get up at 5 am and organize my bed: blanket, pillow and mosquito net. Then I review yesterday´s school lessons before preparing breakfast. I then take a bath, get my school uniform dressed and have breakfast. At 6:30 am, I ride my bicycle to school.
My school normally starts at 7 am and ends at 12 am. I have school five hours a day with a ten minutes break between each lesson which lasts 45 minutes. I have to take 12 subjects spreading from Monday to Saturday to complete 8th grade. Normally, I have to attend at least three subjects a day according to my timetable (some core subjects are scheduled for two consecutive hours, but some only take one hour). During the breaks, I do different fun things: I chat with my classmates about funny stories, have a walk outside the classroom, buy something to drink, read a book, fool around, play games etc.

Generally, I leave school at 12 am. Of course, it can be earlier if a teacher is absent or doesn't teach until noon. I go home and help my aunt prepare lunch: cooking rice, cleaning dishes, setting the place for lunch. But my school day is not over, yet! After having lunch, I leave the house to take an one-hour English course. Then I take additional paid courses of the subjects I study at school. These courses are offered privately by my teachers and cover Maths, Physic & Chemistry and Khmer. After that I usually do sports (volleyball, football, basketball...) and sometimes go to BOOKBRIDGE library to read books. I normally go home at 5 pm.

In the evening I help my aunt with doing house work as watering plants and vegetables in the garden, sweeping the house, cleaning dishes, cooking rice... I then take a bath, have dinner with my aunts and other members of my family and watch TV. We mainly watch Korean and Chinese movies. When we don´t watch TV, we sit together and talk. Afterwards, I spend one or two hours to prepare tomorrow´s school lessons and to do my homework. My school day only ends at around 9.30 pm when I go to bed.

On Sunday , I don´t go to school! However, before enjoying my free day, I have to help my aunt with doing house work like washing my clothes, cleaning the house... But then I do fun stuff: Playing volleyball with the neighborhood kids, watching entertainment shows on TV, playing a kind of shuttlecock, and reading funny story books. After helping my aunt preparing lunch and eating, I watch different TV programs like concerts, entertainment and boxing shows. Then I normally take care of my washed clothes and chat with my aunt and sometimes with my other relatives. After having taken a bath, I have dinner with my family and watch TV. At 10 pm , before going to bed, I organize my school stuff for the next school week.

After the Khmer Rouge ended, Vietnam was in control of Cambodia.
Since the USA was enemies with Vietnam at the time, the USA did not recognise Vietnam to be in control of Cambodia, so many countries were mislead by this and thought that Cambodia was still ruled by the Khmer Rouge.

There was a civil war in Cambodia as it was being controlled by it's neighbouring country, Vietnam. In 1991, Vietnam left Cambodia.
