Cambodia is a fascinating country, from the temples of Angkor Wat with their rich history to the modern history of the Khmer Rouge.
Cambodia for me was an unexpected destination. My purpose in visiting was to attend a photography workshop which would teach various aspects of story telling photography and give me the opportunity to work with an NGO.
I had not expected to feel such a connection with the people and their story that I would want to return and use my new found skills.
The Cambodia Charitable Trust is a Tauranga based New Zealand charity works with the education system within Cambodia to help improve the educational opportunities for rural children in southern Cambodia.
Each year they work in a number of primary and secondary schools along with teachers training institutions.
