This is a picture of the Phnom Penh dump site, a place many Cambodian orphans call home. This is how they live and making for a living. We visited the dump site on the second day of our Ubuntu journey. We shed many tears as we saw teens and children go through the rotting trash hoping to find a food to eat and soda cans, water bottles, plastic bags, and something metal to sell to make enough money to live for a day. Orphan children in Cambodia are vulnerable to many diseases such as malaria, aids, and tuberculosis.
The blue & red roofs you see in the background are their homes. They live there & breathe the smell of rotting trash every day. Can you imagine living like that?
Most orphan children are very poor in education, physical & mental health due to malnutrition and low spirit & well-being. Can we imagine? Orphan children like these from all over Cambodia have to live and face a world full of hardships we cannot imagine.
