In one of the most extraordinary stories ever told, No One Born Poor poignantly captures the inconceivable life of Veng Sereyvuth. From a village boy in Prey Veng in Cambodia, a cyclo driver, a prisoner and refugee, to becoming a politician, a Cabinet Minister in the Cambodian Government and a pioneer in education today – all in the span of 30 years – this striking autobiography of Ven Sereyvuth is an epitome of the indefatigable human spirit. Set against the backdrop of Cambodia’s tumultuous 1970s, when over tow million of its people were killed, and the country’s ensuing political and socio-economic developments.
