Ray of Hope - Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The garbage dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. April 2004

 

Children picking garbage for recycling.

 

I took this photo on my first trip to Cambodia, when I was starting photography, I just got my first dSLR camera and went travelling to Cambodia and by chance ended up at that garbage dump - two ladies from my guesthouse working for an NGO told me to go and see it. So I spent my last few days visiting Stung Meanchey.

I returned to that place a year later to work on my first story.
