Mrs. Obama met some amazing young women at a high school in Cambodia. Sohang Vean shared her story with the First Lady, and we wanted to share it with you: "Every morning I woke up at 4am to cook for the whole household. I don’t live with my parents. I am living with my grandmother, uncle and aunt. I need to help them doing housework from watering the vegetable to looking after the cows. Not only me that have a hard life, my friends here as well...We, however, never thought of dropping out of school. If we stop studying, we will have the same faith as our families. We want to have a better life. We no longer want to see poverty, discrimination against girls. We want to see this country full of educated people." #LetGirlsLearn
