 Young and always smiling, Kalyan is very serious about her shop. Together with another 3 young women, they work hard to keep the shop open 7/7 days and 10 hours a day. They have done many times better than the plan and keep the quilters busy. Some say it is the most beautiful of the 3 shops! See her on TV3 (in Khmer).
