Oung Ham provides for his family by fixing bikes and motorcycles. Before working with Cambodia Job Foundation (CJF), Oung earned $5 a day which was barely enough to support his family. Oung joined CJF’s 12-week Academy for Business Creation course. After completing the course, Oung applied for and received a small business grant, as well as financial and savings training. With mentoring and ongoing help from CJF, Oung was able to double his income and now makes $10 a day. He also saved $500 and used it to build a new motorcycle shop. Because of principles learned from CJF, he was able to start a new branch of his business where he buys second-hand bikes and repairs them. His example is just one of hundreds of individuals CJF is helping.

I used to believe that a life free of trials was the most desirable. I figured that if I were just righteous enough, I would be spared the difficulties and challenges experienced by others. As my understanding of the Father’s plan has increased, I’ve realized I’m wrong on both counts. A life free of trials is the least desirable mortal experience because it would lead to such little growth. And righteous behavior definitely does not exempt us from difficulties and challenges.
