Charity Cambodia

During spring 2009 I went for a travel of 4,5 months through Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia. When I came back home after this trip I once again started working in Helsingborg. My mind went although often back to Asia and it became a dream to someday move there for a longer period of time.

I remember the first time a mentioned the idea of going to Cambodia and work as a volunteer. It was actually the day I came back from the trip in Asia and I was talking with my cousins girlfriend as they were visiting me for midsummer. She mentioned to me that she had friends running an orphanage in Cambodia and since then the idea has been in the back of my head. Around Christmas last year I realized that the time has come for this adventure, decided to quit my job meaning that the trip started in March and now I am sitting here writing this in Sihanoukville.

I think the many memories of poor children and people hurt from the Khmer Rouge as well as from mines around Cambodia I saw on my last trip are the main reasons I finally chose this country to volunteer in. I guess this is where it is needed the most out of the countries I saw as possible destinations.

Then the fact that there are several nice beaches, lovely climate and friendly people in the area also is a very good reason to stay here.

Until I have started to take new pictures I give you some pictures from my trip in 2009 which gave me this idea.
