A lazy day today spent 'thinking'!
A man approached us in the street. He was on crutches. We noticed he had only one leg and a dirty shirt, full of holes....
Cambodia is one of the most mined countries in the world, with millions of land mines still uncleared. There is also a terrible amount on UXO (unexploded ordnance - bombs that didn't go off). It has the largest number of amputees in the world because of this...
The man in the street asked us for food, not money but food. He was hungry. But, we had none. We watched as he vanished from our view.
There was a small street stall selling sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves. We bought 2 of the neat little packets and went to look for the man. We found him, delivered the food and you could see in his eyes that he was so grateful for this small gesture...
Have a 'thinking day' and remember how lucky we really are!
