Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Here are a few photos/video to give you a little glimpse of the amazing Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia....

We arrrived to watch the sun rise over the temples. None of our photos did it justice.



Jim made this using some of our photos and the Gimp photo editing software.
Unfortunately, many children here are forced to sell bracelets, postcards and other goods to tourists. They are smart, fluent in English and incredible salespeople - and are often used as the breadwinners for their families. The Green Gecko Project is working to empower these children with skills, education, care and support to enable them to break the begging cycle and live to their highest potential. We met a few volunteers from this non profit and were really inspired by their wonderful work.
