This year for the holidays, our "gift" to ourselves (over the next four years) is to sponsor Leng Soparoth for college in Cambodia through the Sharing Foundation. Believe it or not, college tuition in Cambodia is about the cost of a couple of video Ipods! Technorati Tags: cambodia , net2 , nptech

Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way. That's why in 2006 when Leng Sopharath did not have a sponsor for college, I stepped forward. My motivation was a simple act of reciprocity (not what you might read in some of these comments ).
