this is such a sad story and you are such a beautiful person for not turning a blind eye and pretending it doesnt exist.

When I have language barrier issues I use google translate on my phone and problem solved. Many Cambodian locals never had the opportunity to go to school and cannot read, so I just play the audio and it works a treat. Maybe this will help?

I wish you all the very best for your project and hope it becomes a huge success. If only there were more people in the world that thought like you!
