Children of Cambodia

Welcome to Cambodia, where you can see children children everywhere.

Children selling books and souvenir items are a common sight here. These cute little kids will follow you and persuade you to buy their stuff. If you don't want to buy anything from them, at least give them some sweets. They would be happy to accept your offer.





This girl here below is lucky as she is employed to play this traditional instrument at the lobby of the four-star hotel which I was staying at. In the morning when I come down for breakfast, I will see this girl with her sweet face playing some sweet music to soothen my senses. Not many children here are as lucky though.

Children bathing and playing in this canal that flows to Tonle Sap Lake. You can see families staying on boats and houses above the water here.



The not so fortunate children...




The last photo here is the most pitiful. It shows a mother and her two children spending the night by the street. Notice a child asleep on the footpath and a baby being carried by the mother.
