Cambodia is the land of children. They are everywhere, playing, working, going to school or begging. Over 50 % of the country's population is children under 18 years. And nearly half of them have to work to support their families.
Even today a lot of children don’t go to school. Their parents don’t know how to read and write, as they grew up during Pol Pot times, and they were sent to labour camps. They lived in fear.
There are many websites that deal with the Children of Cambodia, most of them are community and welfare organizations.
