WHAT IS YOUR JOB WITH FLAME?
HR and Admin Officer
HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED FOR FLAME?
I’ve been with flame almost two years.
The Admin Team: Senghout, Ai and Narom
WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?
I love helping our staff and doing my best to make sure our processes are excellent.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND/HOW DID YOU END UP WORKING FOR FLAME?
I come from the province in a poor family. My mother is a Christian pastor. My father died last year, he used to support my mum so she could do her Christian work. I miss my dad still, he used to call me everyday at work. I have two brothers and three sisters, and we are all very close. My family valued education and I was able to go to school, and then university where I studied finance and banking. Two of my siblings are doctors.
In 2015 I got married to Sreynoch Em and we have one son, Sokreaksa, who is 10 months old. When my son was 3 months old my father passed away. He really liked my son.
Before Flame I applied for some companies and organisation but when I told my mum she asked if they were Christian? She encouraged me to find a Christian organisation where i can help people as I wanted to see children in Cambodia going to school and have a good live in the future. That was how I came to work for Flame.
When I got the job with Flame I came to Phnom Penh, and moved in with my grandmother-in-law. She has now gone to New Zealand to live with her children and grandchildren but she comes back to visit us regularly.
WHAT MESSAGE OR ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE?
This is a favourite bible verse of mine because love is the greatest thing we can do.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love
- 1 Corinthians 13:13
