Sreynet's Story
Sreynet, ten, has lived on the streets in Cambodia all her life.
She lives next to a busy crossroads with her mother and two-year-old stepsister.
Each morning, Sreynet crosses the road to buy a bowl of noodle soup. She shares it with her sister, then their mother eats what’s left. After breakfast, the two girls go to the park to beg.
