Cambodia 2011

I travelled to Siem Reap Cambodia in June 2011, to work as a volunteer and to document an NGO. As fortune has it, I ended up working with some simply wonderful people with Touch a Life. Mavis Ching, Kosal Som, Jacob and Carsten were my immediate  buddy's, including others that worked hard to produce the most healthy and nutritious food for the poorest villages of Siem Reap. 

After preparing the food in Mavis backyard kitchen, we went out on convoy in Carsten's Army Jeep and motor bikes, to do food drops in the remote back waters and outer villages of Siem Reap and to help provide medication for those with HIV and other serious illnesses.

What struck me most was the absolute dedication, of the people I was working with and how magnificent the response was from, the children and families they were helping.

Up to 2,500 meals are distributed in a month.
