Flower Power.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"Couroupita guianensis, known by a variety of common names including cannonball tree, is a deciduous tree in the flowering plant family Lecythidaceae. It is native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, and it is cultivated in many other tropical areas throughout the world because of its fragrant flowers and large fruits, which are brownish grey. The tree has cultural and religious significance in South and Southeast Asia. In Sri Lanka and India, the cannonball tree has been widely misidentified as the Sal tree (Shorea robusta), after its introduction to the island by the British in 1881, and has been included as a common item in Buddhist temples as a result." This specimen is located in the grounds of Wat Damnak in Siem Reap.

Formerly this was a Royal Palace. Hence the name – Dam Nak means palace.
It’s a lovely place. It has all the standard features of pagodas – a temple, a dining hall with its own buddha, a small lake with fish and a shrine in the middle (heavily guarded with fencing).

A girl plays with some water snails she picked up from the lake. For US$2, her mother will take tourists in their boat around the Kompong Phluck floating village.
These two kids were very sad to see us leave after all the fun we had taking photos. We arranged to copy all of our photo for them... but the orphanage has no computer and no grid electricity so Jon will print the best photos and put them up on the orphanage bulletin board.
It only takes $9.00 US$ per year to send one of these orphans to school. You can help these very poor kids by making a donation to the Life & Hope Association through their website at www.watdamnak.org/lha/index.html
Every October, the monsoon season floods Tonle Sap, Asia's largest freshwater lake and results in an abundant supply of fish for its inhabitants. A sleepy-eyed child from Kompong Phluck, one of the floating villages in the lake, follows his father and grandmother out to the nearby flooded forest to check on the day's catch.

We went to visit the Life & Hope Association residential sewing school for young ladies which is housed at Wat Damnak, a Buddhist pagoda. The L&HA offers a 6 months course to young women to train them as seamstresses and improve their education. At the end of the course, they give them a foot operated sewing machine that they can take back home as most of the villages do not have electricity. This lets them to earn a living providing sewing services to the villagers.
The students who come from towns and cities that do have electricity, are trained on the more advanced eclectric sewing machines. This allows them to find employment in workshops and factories making clothes.
The Life & Hope Association website is located at www.watdamnak.org/lha/index.html in case you want to support this worthy cause.
