87:365 One Poor Boy

"The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles. " Plato

 

While waiting for our flight back to Saigon from Siem Reap, we had our lunch somewhere in the city area.

 

Less than an hour after, Kiko and me took some random shots on the streets.

 

Then this young boy just appeared in front of us, if not for him we would not notice the trash bin, another story of poverty in Cambodia.

 

The young kid who is supposed to be in school, with his head burried deep reading books is out on the street, instead of books, he burries half his body inside the trash bin and after a few minutes of digging, I noticed him holding an empty softdrink can with a seemingly triumphant clamor.
