Tuy Sobil – One Man, One Life, One Story

There are no translations available.

 

It doesn’t exist only in the fiction “Les Miserables” of famous French writer Victor Hugo that people can make a change.

I also write a fiction about The Misery people in Cambodia. It’s a fiction that I wrote long time ago.

Ok back to what I wanted to write about One man, One Life, One story on this post.

Tuy Sobil is someone that could be an example to those who followed the wrong track or made friend with the wrong people. At 13, he used drug, at 18 he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment for armed robbery.

He was deported from California to Cambodia in 2004 and then he formed Tiny Toones, where he taught street’s kids to dance Hip Hop and earn their living.

We could see them at night at some restaurant and at the riverside.

Everybody makes mistakes. But as you grow older, you get wiser. Children look up to some people as their role model, some kids pick the right guide, while others follow in the steps of the wrong person. I want to inspire the kids with what I’m doing now, to show them that a guy that can make mistakes but can change his life for the better.

Says KK, who recently visited the Philippines to share a few of his breakdancing tricks to some children in Davao City as part of Smart Kids program.
