Pav Rith

We navigated a winding path to reach a villager’s house. The residence was situated in a remote area, surrounded by trees. The owner, Mr. Pav Rith, is 53 years old and he resides in Bak Nim village. He serves as the village’s pastor. During the period of the Khmer Rouge, he was a young student, and he was assigned to collect animal waste for use as fertilizer. He had completed his studies up to the 8th grade. He evaded the conflict by seeking refuge in the mountains, and it was only after the liberation in 1979 that he decided to return to his hometown. He married in 1986. Sadly, he lost three siblings on his wife’s side. Fortunately, he did not suffer any loss on his family’s side.
