I love that photo. I took it during my last trip to Cambodia, almost three years ago. Those kids are the children of the poorest villagers in Roteang Village. Their parents are working on our farm project. We built a new school building for them - and the school is a literacy program. A sort of Headstart program.

I thought top friends was a great way to acknowledge your donors, but if they privacy settings do not allow displaying their name/photo on your profile, you won't be able to add them to your list. Yesterday, the search function worked beautifully so you could drop names/photos in, but today it isn't working. I'm not sure why.
