Brigitte

I am from Le Havre, a hairdresser for 35 years, in 1997, I went to Cambodia to adopt my son who is now 16 years old, I stayed in this beautiful country for 6 months, having done a survey to find out the concerns of young people who were asking to learn European hairdressing, so returning to France after this adoption, with my husband and my 3 other children, we decided to sell our house and in 2000 we were settled in Cambodia in opening 1 salon in the heart of the capital of Phom Penh and 1 in Siem Réap, I surrounded myself with 14 Cambodians who became my employees by providing them with the necessary basics of French hairdressing, we formed a family and went to hospitals to massage and style children who had Leprosy, Tuberculosis, and AIDS, my experience in Cambodia is memorable and I am still in contact with my employees to this day, because in 2005 I had to return to France to file for divorce and I was never able to return to Cambodia because my husband took the opportunity to sell my 2 salons, my L'Oréal products, our furniture and appropriated the sum from which he benefited, and settled in Vietnam, since my employees have asked that I come back and I still feel capable of starting this kind of experience again and staying with them permanently but given my age 57 years, I would like to protect myself and leave as an expatriate for Social Security and others, how can I make my dream come true, share and exchange my knowledge with them again, feel useful, I like the Land of Smiles, I like these people, their culture. Sincerely
