On any given day, Aki Ra walks where others fear to tread in the remote villages of Cambodia. Dressed in protective gear, he takes careful steps, searching for one of the nearly six million land mines buried underneath the war-torn soil. For Aki Ra, this is his path to redemption. As a child, he was kidnapped to become a soldier with the Khmer Rouge and was taught to lay mines -- planting as many as 5,000 every month. When peace finally came, he saw an opportunity to undo the damage he had done and he began to clear them. At first, he used his hands, knives, and other unconventional tools; now, he has formal training and leads the Cambodian Self Help Demining Team, which he created. Since 1993, Aki Ra has cleared more than 50,000 mines and unexploded weapons. He has also opened a museum so the world can see the damage that remains long after a war ends. He often meets children who are orphaned or have lost a limb to a mine and gives them a home at the orphanage he built next to that museum -- there are 30 living there. Aki Ra teaches them that to move forward in this world they must "do good acts and love each other."
His mission:
Aki Ra wants to make every village in Cambodia land mine-free. While the Khmer Rouge stole his childhood, he works to make Cambodia safe, secure, and strong so that every child has the chance to prosper. Aki Ra doesn't believe the Khmer people should wait for others to clear the mines from their villages; he believes they should "do it for themselves."

Loc Hotel Dauphine, Rue Jean Jaurés, Puteaux, Paris
The hotel was absolutly lovely consering how cheap it was. The room was small but the beds were comfortable and we got cable TV (even if the only English channel was CNN). The breakfast buffet was good and the service was friendly. The only problem might be the walk to the metro station (about half a mile) but there is a bus to Pont de Neuilly.
