Salvaged Cambodia Pictures!!!

Thanks to a few friends in Cambodia who were kind to forward their pictures, I am able to share a few photos of my activities.


Below is a sweet boy who was the official shoe straightener at the entrance of Wat Phnom (temple).  He is malformed in both arms and has a total of 4 fingers.  But what a beautiful smile!!


In a window on top of Bayon Temple.  Built around the year 900 in Siem Reap.



Playing with the kids in the remote village of Krang Popleak.  This is the inside of their pre-school which was built by Sustainable Cambodia.   I was taking pictures of the kids with my digital camera and then showing them the images of themselves.  So fun!   One little girl grabbed the camera out of my hand and started taking pictures of me!  She caught on right away at how to work the buttons.   





This is Threy (sp?) He says he has never been to school, but speaks English fairly well.  He works along the Boeung Kak Lake (where the Government is doing the forced evictions) selling books.  His shirt said "hip hop" on it, and when I asked him if he knew what hip hop was, he answered "yo yo yo" and threw me the peace sign.   Nice.



Riding an elephant!!!  Check mark on the bucket list :)
