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 ).
