It got a flat in my motorcycle on the way home from Phnompenh a few weeks ago. The afternoon sun was burning hot but whole surrounding was totally rice field that's why I could not help pulling my motor on the way. The sudden accident happened, which irritated me, then I arrived, where is very small repairing shop that a disabled guy run. His name is Jantu. Although he is still young, he doesn't walk anymore as other handicapped persons since he got a neurological disease in his backbone. However fortunately for him, he has a very faithful and devoted wife who look after and help him like an angel... so they can make a living without worrying about their next meal. Even though it is such a like hard life for them, I couldn't help but to take my hat off to them for their beads of sweat stand on their brow. Because I was just sitting down and to saw how they manage to live... then I felt mean for what I have irritated a few minutes ago. After completing repairs, I could not forget the memories of their shining eyes all the way back. Since that day, I always go to their shop if I need something for my motor although it's pretty far distance from my place. I guess I just miss them.

This is the Preyveng provincial town in Cambodia. This town is very quite and pretty clean as well. By the way, if go futhermore to outside from the town, there are so many poor people. This village is one of those where is far from the town just 1km. Most households are living as a refuge camp. However even the poor here are full of energy because of many children. We run some activities for those children twice a everyweek like a paper holding class, reading Khmer book, hygiene class and singing the children's song and so on. Some children are infected with HIV virus, and some of them are living with only one grandmother without their parents. Most children actually entered the primary school but still not easy to read Khmer letter. One reason is that many teachers at school very often abscences for many reason. For sure, education at home much more important but there are so many difficulties because for families in poverty, however, survival is the first priority not the education children.

We gave 2,000 books and shelf to elementary school where is in Buddist temple near by our high school. All the fund came from one of French NGO. We made a small library in the village where is no electricity, moreover everyweekend some of our highschool students are going to assist this activity with all the children in this village through those books and materials we gave to them. The education is one of the most big problem in Cambodia. There is mostly no library in each school especailly in rural area, even if there is a libray, if any books. So we hope that it will be planted seeds of hope in each children's mind through these books.
