Due to poverty, this teenager cannot attend school like other children because she is duty-bound to help her parents and younger siblings. The young infant in the krama is a tool of the trade to earn money for the family. (Photo: Will Baxter, The Phnom Penh Post) |

Why are 13 years old begging instead going to school?
- Most school requires to pay theh tuition and pay other mores.
- Prarent don't have food to feed their children.
- The government did not help much to the poorest families
because Cambodia has the same opportunity for all!
There are NGOs offering these kids education n place to stay but they just don't wanna care bot their own future. They rather stay on the street than staying in NGOs...
I've been reading to KI feed for quite sometime now and i found that KI is bias against the gov.
Yes i agree that H.S is not that good but ask yourself, have you done anything bot it? "NO" all you guys doing is bark, bark n bark...
All you people are doing is only bringing bad images of Cambodia to the world. The more i see the more i think that KI is the one who making Cambodia bad but not H.S.
