When we were in Siem Reap we set aside an hour or so to visit an orphanage that my uncle had donated to. I don't know what we expected to find, but we could never have anticipated just how amazing this place and these people are. The orphanage is called "Orphans and Disabled Arts" and is located in the Angkor Wat complex.
We had planned to visit for an hour, but we stayed the whole afternoon, captivated by the stories of the children and the people who care for them. There were times when we were both sitting so still, trying desperately not to cry as we were so overwhelmed by all that we were being told. This is one of the best organisations in the world. Every single cent that is donated goes directly to the children-you can see it. It was just incredible.
Please take the time to watch this short clip, which explains about their lives.
