February 17, 2005Pissed off in Siem Reap!
When I arrivied in Siem Reap I immediately incountered a lot of child beggars, big deal no problem. I also crossed paths with this nice guy from Chicago, whos helping run this program that teaches disabled people skills so they no longer have to beg. I thought great, how can I help, well he said we are raising money by selling popcorn and these hand made bracelets. Of coarse I bought one of each, and headed back to my guesthouse with a smile, that lasted until the morning, I was on my way to cash a travelers check, when I ran into this other American, who just happens to be starting a website engineared to get tour groups to stop at this wat complex in order to give things like candy and money to children and before I knew it I was accouste by five small children who literally climbed on me two of them started actually hitting me! My fellow country man just smiled and said wouldn't it be great to have a whole tour group to help these kids! Help exactly how are you helping these kids other than encouraging them to beg? Some people's stupidity never stops surprising me. Comments
Trav Keep up the good work. Keri is MAKING me learn to do this. Hope I don't screw it up. Love Ya How was the trip south? I assume that this was the location you were headed to. I hope that it was better then your first day there. Did you feel the eathquake? Or are you to far away.
