Cambodia is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world and often referred to as a recovery land. I am thankful that the Heifer program has started in Cambodia. Because for some time the only support that the country was receiving from social media was from Angelina Jolie. After she visited the country she feel in love with its people (as I did) and started adopting children from their and providing them with charity. This program sheds light onto the struggles of poverty in Cambodia and gives them a way to start a life. When I was there I saw first hand just how hard these families and parents work to put their child's through school because they see how education can change ones life. Just like in many of the books/short stories we are reading (Nervous Conditions) education is something that is very important and a lot of the times taken for granted. Many people in the U.S today do not think "I want to go to school because at least while I am there the Khmer rouge will not kill me or my family".
