Sharing by Sopha

ACTS taught me that even in the most difficult of circumstances we also can help each other like ACTS helped us, never forget us.

Experiences to join ACTS mission


MH is a love house. Love has made us able to share, correct, encourage and help each other to build ourselves, we already have the Sr. there as the example of Love. MH also a joy house because always has new friends. When I got here I had countless friends, especially Singaporean friends.


December is the happiest month in MH because we are waiting for Christmas day and also waiting for special presence from ACTS team. In fact, MH’s student don’t have feeling to study because we want to make some program for ACTS. We also have different roles, but I’m really lucky Sr. Chose me to sell cards, you know I felt like I was the one that happiest in the world. I don't know English, I had only friendliness has made me sell a lot of cards. I wonder why they are so unique. A card cost $1 or $2, but they always gave me $20, $50 or $100, and said that do not need to pay it back. When I told Sr. she laughed me, and said “They helped us even more than you do not know it, and they never want anything from us back.” why Singaporeans are so beautiful and so kind? I have never seen foreigners and talk with them before, when I talk with ACTS I was very happy.


From year to year I am more growing the Knowledge and Education:

In the 3rd year I was an Oratory leader and translate for students at Don Bosco, I show my gestures when ACTS don’t understand, the 4th year I was an MC for give thanks to ACTS. I still remember that night when I get on stage I said” hello”. At that time all peoples looked at me, some was smiling, some looked tired, some still power and also some was still eating, but they stopped for listen to me. I was so excited and really want to cry. I asked myself why I had this day” and my answered is because of the people that stay in front of me. Saw Sr. smile I’m so happy I almost forgot what I need to say.


On vacation I always stay with Sr. that why I always join to learn English with ACTS I have learned a lot of lessons, learn about the world, English, the songs, the Dreams and Dreams big too. But the most special lessons is that the lessons from this year. ACTS taught me that even in the most difficult of circumstances we also can help each other like ACTS helped us, never forget us. ACTS still try to meet us even though online or anything. I think this is the plan of God. He called me to join this mission. I answered “yes” very fast when Sr. TM asked me to sing with ACTS. They are from different places, but they had the same heart and join with wholeheartedly. ACTS helped me to know that when we do anything we can’t do it alone like how I make the video, I always have lovely friends with me. Friends are like family.




I really thank you to ACTS team that give me the chance to have a good future, without your support I and other students we don’t know where we are right now. I hope that all of you still helped us because I want Khmer people have a good life like I had today, and one day we can help each other, Cambodian help Cambodian, Cambodian help Singaporean.

Thank you for took Cambodian in your heart, but you need to know that we love you very much
