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

I just got an email from Dr. Hendrie who is in Cambodia right now. We have an opportunity to receive a couple of OLPCs for our literacy program at our farming project (we school the kids of farmers who we train to farm the land, sell vegetables, proceeds go into micro loan fund.). Okay, that's not a huge amount, but I'm the donor!

Unfortunately they don't have credit cards (that's a problem for some of the potential donors like the bloggers I met in Cambodia - take for example Denith ). I never realized this before, but one of the photos I took at the Khmer Literacy School has someone's butt in the background. I want to thank everyone who has contributed so far.

My husband and I adopted two beautiful children, Harry and Sara, from Cambodia. But, also felt sad when thought of the many children in Cambodia who would not have the same opportunities as our children do. Our project on Global Giving focuses on literacy which is key to education and jobs for poor children. Sign up here.
