My birthday

Today, September the 15th is my birthday. Today 27 years ago, I was born in Takeo near my small cottage. Today this year, I am in Denmark celebrating. I will only have a small meal with my wife and wish to get happiness in the whole life. I wish I could go to Khmer pagoda today.

But today is also the first day of Pchum Ben periord. I hope all of my family, friends and Cambodians go to pagoda and offer food to monks and pray for their ancestors. In return, they will get happiness! Happy Pchum Ben!

A long suffer from landmine

Resulted from decades of war, Cambodia is left with poor infrastructures and almost zero of human resources. Even worst, the country is still struggling with landmines, one of the country's silent killers. It a slow and paintful process to clear one signle landmine. A deminer could spend the whole day to just identify and clear one. All of my friends, I would like to invite all of you to spend 3 minutes on a documentary about landmine clearance. It is an effort to rescue land for farmers. Enjoy it and I am waiting for your comments.
