About me

Ok, let me say something about myself. My name is Heng Molyaneth. Generally, people call me “Yaneth”, and close friends call me “Ah Neth”. I like both. I was born in December 1983 (how old am I now???) in Phnom Penh, the city of Cambodia. So far, a few people called me “city girl”, but I don’t want to be called like this. I finished High School (Preah Yukunthor High School) in 1999. Luckily, I had a chance to enter National Institute of Management (now called National University of Management) right after my graduation from high school. My good luck was not yet finished. I passed the entrance exam to Institute of Foreign Languages in 2001 as my second university. I started my career as a volunteer in one local organization working for deprived children. Although I could not learn much from this job, the network I built there helped me a lot to get to where I am now. It was the starting point for me. Then, I had worked for a month for Royal University of Phnom Penh. I quitted this job because I was given a better job (I am not a bad person, right? It is what people do.). In this organization, I have learned how to work and made a lot of friends, some of which I keep contacting until now. Although I think I am capable to do the work, the people I know there have greatly helped me move to another step of my career. My last job was with one of the UN agencies. Until now if I look back, although I am so depressed with my life (sometimes), so many people who have come across my life are always available to help me. I have received a lot of support from them, which I will never ever be able to forget their sincere friendship for me.

Well, if talking about my family, I am the second. I have two brothers and one sister. My brothers are not as fortunate as me. They don’t have a chance to receive higher education. For my sister, she is an undergraduate student. I fervently hope that she can make a bright future with all the knowledge she learns from school. I love my mum and my family. Whatever happens to us, I still love them. I will do my best for them.

Sorry ne! I am going too deeply into personal matter. I’d better stop now. I think it is enough to tell who I am and where I am from. Oh one last thing! I am now in Japan doing my master degree. It is still a long to go for me to finish it.

Finally, thanks for visiting my page. I hope you can find what you are looking for. Good luck!!!

  5. Dear Yaneth: I was intrigued to learn about the highly successful schools in Finland which are being studied globally due to their focus on students’ character as opposed to pushing achievements. I spent 5 years in Japan between 1991-96 and saw the sometimes terrible burden of the highly competitive and critical educational system on students in all age groups. One of the saddest and most disturbing results of the Japanese cultural tendency to criticize and shame individuals who are different in any way is called “hikkikomori”, (self isolation) which effects more than 1 million young people. They have isolated themselves in their bedrooms — from the school, the community, and in some case from their families. 20 years ago I was one of three founders of THE VIRTUES PROJECT, a program of character education that is now used in 95 countries, including Japan. It is focused on helping people of all ages practice virtues in everyday life. We have seen amazing changes to the school and community culture where it is applied, from small “First Nations” villages in northern British Columbia to some Maori communities in New Zealand. It is easily embraced in schools, businesses, social organizations and among faith groups of every kind. It is a program that “honours the spirit” while not adhering to one particular philosophy or religion, and is thus universal and applicable in groups of all kinds. I hope you will visit our website (www.virtuesproject.com) to learn more. Best regards, John Kavelin, Virtues Project International, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada.

  6. Dear John,

    I have already visited the website of your project. Your work looks interesting and useful. If you have surfed through my blog, you would see that I like posting inspirational quotes. I need to keep reminding an motivating myself, and I think some people also need this kind of guidance for their life. I would be very keen to hear if you can tell me how you make people practice virtues in everyday life. Regarding the “hikkikomori” discease in Japan, yeah! I used to hear about it during my first year in Japan, but now it becomes silent. I don’t know if Japan is still facing this issue.
