Sorry for taking so long to post this blog. As usual I have the craziest travel schedule which I can’t seem to get a grip on. I have so many more stories to share with you from my experiences in Cambodia and will post them as I continue to finish them. THANK YOU for taking the time to read this because it truly means the world to me to educate people on what unbearable things are happening everyday, in countries like Cambodia and other countries around the world. This blog is from the heart, it’s the truth from my perspective, its real, and it’s happening right now.
The TV special I filmed in Cambodia for World Vision will be airing this October on all major networks in Canada. At that time you’ll also be able to go to www.worldvision.ca to see behind the scenes footage of some of my experiences and the stories we focused on. Check it out in October and let me know your thoughts. But until then I can write about it.
This story is about the severity and reality of Child Labor in Cambodia. We paid particular attention to a child by the name of Pharady and her family. My experience in Cambodia changed my life in so many ways. I dove right into the everyday life in Cambodia. I interviewed everyone I came across even when I wasn’t shooting for World Vision. I learned about their culture, their history and why they are so deeply tormented by the problems of their past. We’re truly blessed to live in North America. Every time I hear someone upset because their Mocha Latte isn’t hot enough or they had to wait too long in the Starbucks line……I say, go to a third world country, live with them for a few days and you’ll see what real problems are. Spending time with some of the people of Cambodia and listening to the stories of their past has given me a whole new outlook on immigrants in my country, what they have been through and what they had to give up for “hopefully” a better life in my country. If you were born in a country like Cambodia under the same circumstances, you would do the same thing.
