part 2 of my day4 in Cambodia

the gift from a small little girl who sold postcard  of the cambodia's scenery.
A picture means thousands words
it is so succinct yet significant!
flower
smile
for souvenir
for good luck
for you!

hello!

very nice to meet you

thank you for you coming

to see Angkor Wat

I give you flower for souvenir

I wish you good luck

in your job and all your family 

I am very happy to meet you

I like your smile

I hope

 you like my flower

I hope to see you again

I hope you don't forget me

from us.

Bye! Bye！

words are powerful

they tells us what we can't see

they live in pauperism

they are a group of people being marginalized

they are illiterated 

never gone to school before

but they have hope

they put trust to all that comes to them

they hide a small piece of rag,squish of wafer paper in the poster

even their ages are between 7 -12

they know

they need to survive hard

to maintain the upkeep of family

not a burden

but someone who can contribute

education, will spend lots of money

they long for it

but the chance is so 

with hope, with the scanty words they learn

they give you their best wish.....

before our bus went away

i looked back

i wanted to have a better memory on her face

then, i realise they all look the same

so wan

the figure are

so twiglike

but their mind, their ambition is significant

some people call them pauper

but look at their silhouette

so long, so big when the sun shine on them from the other sides

that reflect the reall inner self of them

the reality makes them stronger

in anywhere else, they can survive better than anyone of us

in such a young age, yet the burden is twi or even triplefold than us

i wonder 

will you call they pauper again if you have enough wisdom to ponder about it~?

NO!

they are abundance

they have courage and strength to go on with their life

pothole? hamper? thwart?impediment? on the way~

will never stop them 

from pursuing their dream

as long as they have hope......
