Ratana, 12, reading at her home on Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia.

Every morning, 12-year-old Ratana sets off from her home on Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake by boat. She’s heading for a floating school supported by Save the Children – but she’s got a vital job to do before she gets there. As she rows she picks up friends along the way – and together they work to clear the rubbish that litters the lake. “When we row the boat to school we pick up the trash, and put it in our boat,” says Ratana. She and her friends care passionately about cleaning up the lake because of the eco lessons we’ve helped introduce to the school’s curriculum. “I have learned about pollution, deforestation, and garbage,” she explains. “I’ve learned how to clean the environment.” She is also spreading the word to her community about climate change and protecting the environment. “The elderly and adults should listen to children because we are now aware of the environment,” Ratana says. It is children like Ratana and her friends that are this fishing community’s best hope of saving their lake and livelihood. It is her generation that is leading the fightback against climate change across the world. Save the CHILDREN
