I'm familiar with all the torture, escapes etc. but you wrote so emotionally and from the heart. ( A cliché, but true in your case ). I'm so sorry for the loss of your family members who were killed in front of you. ( Sorry is completely inadequate. ) A horrible and never-ending nightmare. I've heard of others in similar situations that have crawled from beneath the bodies and out of mass graves, after pretending to be dead. I hope you managed to get some counselling. Most Cambodians need psychiatric help, as they've all buried their KR experiences deep inside themselves and aren't aware that they are passing on their trauma to their children. TPO is an excellent organisation to help with this.<br /><br />I loved your expression, Bamboo in the Wind. Very meaningful to me but too personal to explain.<br /> <br />You have worked so hard to get your qualifications. I love the fact that you are using your education to better the lives of Cambodians who are still struggling to survive. I did get out to see The Bakong Technical College. It's a huge enterprise for you to complete. Just amazing. When will it open? I like the fact that it is out in the country where there are so few opportunities.<br /><br />Gaye Miller, AustraliaRan Yimsuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850805201939371891noreply@blogger.com
