Sun Valley Online (Idaho, USA)
The Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival passes will look and feel different this year thanks to local student Lexi Dupont. Instead of the typical plastic sleeve passes worn around the neck, the Spiritual Film Festival pass holders will be given intricately woven black and gold fabric bracelets with the message “illuminate” woven into them.
The bracelets were commissioned from M’Lop Tapang in Cambodia, an organization to support and rehabilitate Cambodian street children. Community School student Lexi Dupont spent a month working directly with M’Lop Tapang for her Senior Project. Her short film about her experience inspired the organizers of the Spiritual Film Festival to support the Cambodian NGO with a bracelet order, and the film will also be screened as part of the festival this year. “The film provides a young, fresh filmmaker’s glimpse into the re-integration of these children back into education, families and community,” said Mary Gervase, Executive Director of the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival.
The Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival runs September 19-21 and features 33 films that celebrate the human spirit. Many of the filmmakers will be in attendance to meet the audience after the screenings, and there will be other speakers, including the author of the best selling book Kitchen Table Wisdom. Tickets and programs are available online at www.svspiritualfilmfestival.org and at Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum.

So hard to be poor. I always got a phone call from poor family in Steng Meanchey that sick and injuries almost every month!
Thank you Malop Tapang for helping us. But don't bring too much new ideology to break us apart like the story " Things fall apart"
We are poor because ...
This is the result of Civil War!
The result of the breaking down like the story of " Things fall apart" about how U.K. started to colonize Africa.
After breaking down, Cambodia under U.S., then, China, then Vietnam,
now , under many different directions.
Look at Cambodian Law:
We use Japanese law (civil Law) for the fact we knew so little about the Japanese thinking.
We use French law for Criminal Law
Labor Law is so confusing with too many different experts
