Testimony of a beneficiary :

"I'm Mrs. SOK Kosol, I'm 75 years old, I used to sell cakes on the street; now I can't because of my age. My only son, who is my support, was arrested for drug use. It is thanks to Mr. Sun Eam who is the lawyer here in Kratie that I can follow my son's case. He told me that he will defend him for free. He is my only hope.
