Facts From An Article About Cambodia:
There are approximately 14,000 to 24,000 street children living in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh alone there are between 10,000 and 20,000 living and working on the streets.
They sell bracelets, guide books, fruit, key rings, postcards, sunglasses, necklaces...the list goes on. They approach you on the beach, sitting outside restaurants, walking along the street, in internet cafes and anywhere else you might be. Their eyes are sad and their clothes are worn. Sometimes they have tattered shoes clinging to their filthy feet, other times they have none at all. Sometimes they are quiet and move from person to person without uttering a word. Other times they shout in shrill voices about what they have for sale.
In Phnom Penh there are clusters of families that sleep on the streets. Usually single mothers with anywhere from one to five small children and babies. They do not sleep in corners or doorways or parks. They sleep on the side of busy streets, day and night. I want to cry when I see them. It's a cruel world that lets babies sleep naked on the streets.
The smaller towns in the country of Cambodia are filthy. Waste flows directly into the small canals along the side of the road and there is rubbish everywhere. Naked toddlers play in ditches with muddy plastic bags and old styrofoam containers. But the older children cycle to school and the people along the streets smile because they are surviving.
