A special thanks to all the staff and children at the orphanage and school who were so kind in letting me take this photo's for my week's stay in Siep Reap. You can visit the orphanage website and make a donation at: http://www.sunrisechildrensvillage.org/ These photos were taken in combination with the Angkor Photo Festival http://www.angkorphotofestival.com/ and the VII photojournalism workshop http://www.viiphoto.com/index.html in November 2006.

The piece was entitled 'Hope' and was intended to show the positive side of children's lives in Cambodia, a country that has seen much hardship in the last 50 years or so. If you wish to use or link any of these shots, please ask first and i'll be happy to oblige with permission of the Sunshine Orphanage.
