TEDxPhnomPenh - Sovanthana Nana - Seeing the Good Side of Problems.mp4

Sovathana (better known as Nana) was born in 1986, in Kampong Cham province. From an impoverished family, Nana has been working since she was 14. Starting as an interpreter, her career highlights include work as a counselor, radio presenter and most recently as the president of a local youth volunteer organization. Today, she is the main source of income for her family, but she feels thankful to those responsibilities for shaping who she is today.


TEDxPhnomPenh was held at Pannasastra University on June 9, 2012.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDxevents are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
