  4. “The rains have changed and …we had no way to feed our families, so we fled our village. Now in the new place we migrated to, we are having the same problems. The desert is devouring our cropland and water is scarce. We will have to move again soon. We have been forced to creep, bit by bit, in search of survival and our living.”

  6. “Disasters occur so often - Flooding sometimes threatened our lives.Life was miserable. We did not know what else to do other than growing rice and fishing …but we lost everything. We had to migrate away. My children had to stop school, and I sent my girls to [Phnum Pénh] to work to help our family.”

  8. “My grandfather has worked on our lands, my father—and so do I. But times have changed…the rain is coming later now or not at all, and our crops are declining. The only solution is to go away, at least for a while. But leave my village forever? No. I was raised here and here I will stay.”
