Very Poor People - a photo on Flickriver

Very Poor People

            In a completely dark room crammed with a dozen people at the former Lakeside of Phnom Penh. This is where the two kids I showed you in the previous pictures took me after our photo session. This was their home.

This is still the most positive of the pictures I took there. I will never publish the others, because I don't want to show people who have lost their dignity.

That day I realized that school uniforms are a very, very good thing... I guess somebody sponsored the two kids, for the English they spoke was much better than the English of Austrian or German kids of their age and the school they went to must have been a very good one.
