Story About a Poor Village

On Sunday 13 09 2009 I went to find the poor place. On that day the weather was raining until night. Teacher Ly An, Prak Sokha and group of photo journalists went to the poor village. On the road there are a lot of water. Both teacher and group photo journalists there body are wet. When the motor lost the petrol we walked to buy but it a long way. After bought the petrol we continue to the poor village. We have been found the repair place a long way. Teacher Ly An gave the motor to repairer. Half hour later we discussed about how to find the fast way to go. We arrived poor village at 5:00 pm. Then both teacher went to find the leader in the village to discuss what he wants to do in the village. My friends and I met the villager and walk follow him to take the pictures in that village.

I have one hour to take the pictures at there, because it was raining and nearly dark. I afraid that it will break my camera. When I left to take the pictures.

I saw the streets are every dirty such as: water stinks garbage nearly in homes some house is broken. After that I saw the young children have been played in the water stink.

There are many people live at there. One family there are 5 or 6 children. Some houses there are 2 or 3 family in there. When I met the people in the village they every quiet. Some villager ask me, “Why I take the pictures?” I told them, I learned to take the pictures and want to know about poor people too. I said. I ask a question to them!

How many families were living here? They answered there are maybe 1700 family at there. They don’t have serious home to live. They’ve just to stay, but it didn’t their land. I met the old women and men. They said that they want us to help them such as: fresh water to use and power to use too. After that I get time to finish taking the pictures than I returned to met teacher and come home.
