High Five, I'm just quoting you to get something off my chest. Cheers for the post mate!
With the state that Cambo is in at the moment, most/all organisations are not in a position to help from their top-down level. There's just too much crap to cut through.
I'm all for people like phuketbound who are going there as individuals, because that's where the lives of Khmers can be touched. From a bottom-up level.
People going there thinking that they can change everything are kidding themselves. It aint gonna happen.
While I was there I helped put a motodup through school. It worked.
Another guy I knew gave his cleaning lady enough money to set up her own market stall. That worked too.
I reiterate, it's from a bottom-up level that we, as individuals, can help that dire little country.
