Somaly Mam: Love, Laughter and Forgiveness From the Heart of Cambodia

Born to a tribal minority family in the Mondulkiri province of Cambodia, Somaly Mam began life in extreme WISH Workbookpoverty. With limited options as a severely marginalized ethnic group, and living in unimaginable despair, her family often resorted to desperate means to survive. This confluence of dire circumstances led to the unspeakable horrors that would mark Somaly's early years. Somaly was sold into sexual slavery by a man who posed as her grandfather. To this day, due to the passing of time and the unreliability of a wounded memory, Somaly still does not know who this man was to her. Yet his actions set her on an unimaginable path fraught with danger, desperation, and ultimately...triumph.

This year, your purchase of our WISH Workbook goes to support the Somaly Mam Foundation. You can learn all about it and purchase your copy HERE.
