I am going to collect portraits of people while in Cambodia that made my heart happy and attempt to tell their story here.

I am six years old and my parents are missionaries in Cambodia. Today was a good day - we went on a picnic, I went swimming with my father and we ate ice cream.

I have been a missionary in Cambodia over three years - attacked and beaten once. There are good days and bad days with cultural adjustments. I desire somehow to see the Cambodian culture and people change to a place where they can thrive.

I just sold an airline ticket to an American, who would not quit until he took my photo. Strange Americans!
