The kind of picture that breaks my heart…
Cambodia is still one of the few countries in SE Asia whose state does not cater for, or formally recognise the needs of its elderly – the aged population. Reeling from the destructive legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime in the seventies where the nuclear family unit had been deliberately split apart to deny the family any influence it could exercise as a main rival institution to the state, this social and core human fabric has been coming under attack and grievously and violently violated further ever since under the current neo-KR regime as a consequence of the state's failure to redistribute 'generated' economic wealth equitably among its citizens, or rebuild a sound economic base capable of meeting demands of its domestic labour market, particularly, among the youths whose search for job opportunities has been forcing them to venture overseas leaving behind dependent family members such as this elderly woman to fence for themselves in the process… ~School of Vice, KI Media

+Jendhamuni Sos , My Dear Sister, this is horrible and inhumane to treat the elderly in such a cruel heartless way. Doesn't anyone care about their elderly?

Sad, but just yesterday I asked if anybody reading these posts would assist in development of a healthcare and art colony in Cambodia.
Needless to say, not one response was received. Words mean nothing without action, now do something after seeing this heart breaking photo of an elderly woman reduced to begging while nobody does anything to help her in the US, or elsewhere. Just look the other way, always the answer to avoid the image of suffering.

One must care their elders it is natural moral duty of all
Tommy Graves
That's a shame, on the leadership of Cambodia whereby
the rich have no mercy through their political strategy. ( That's the trickery of the KR regime which cause that economy failure sense the seventies.) Jendhamuni do all u can do for her u r her blessing in her sight and the our Created! Now here in the USA we need to open our eye and recognize what political party trying to lead this country down a similar path sense the eighty talking about( trickle down) what wooden nickels to now the welfare of poor and our elders!

Really it is not. What makes me want to cry is when I can't straighten my hair in the morning, every body laughs at me then I get upset, then I cry.
Margaretann Hudson

Antonio Zippo
No!

I see elderly people in such pitiable condition in India too. There is no effective social security scheme here also though anti begging law is very much in place. Wherever there is corruption, there is no priority in government schemes for such poor elderly people.

Don't get upset Jendhamuni, there are so many children in this world they don't have food one time only. We have to help them, I am also giving funds every month for such children. God bless them.

you should form an association to build homes for these elders and help them and provide them with food three times a day by getting money from people of the society

Sad as it may be … at some deep level I think we all choose to be here in the conditions we are in. That why I say pain has been my best of friends. I have had tough time in the not so long ago past and still now, but if I could change or relive my past I wouldn't. Now I'm being conscious aware of who and what I AM and that I have the power within to change without. I can have any thing my heart desire…. now knowing this it seems like I want less.

Peace!!! Our Minds cannot see the full curve!!! of G-d Plan. Coming from a people who have been made the Servants of Servants for the World over 40million!!! G-d plan is better!! Your people will come out stronger and purer than before just like the Native African Americans!!! Peace!!!

Now that you have the knowledge of good and evil you will become gods like us. Jesus said not only will you do as I have done but more
George Bolton
I don't believe in a god above us that we should bow down to and worship the kingdom is within. Love is an expression not an impression.

The white man with a beard made me suplicitous. I don't believe in Santa anyone and being a homeless vet I don't trust uncle sam
