Babysitters

One thing that certainly isn’t hard to come by in Cambodia are babysitters. There are thousands upon thousands.

 

I’m not sure how old these two are, but suffice it to say in the US these two wouldn’t be allowed into the babysitters club. But here, these guy are in charge. We saw one little boy who’s face was burned by rice porridge on a day when his 7 year old brother was watching him for the day while their mom went to work. Good news, mom was at work. Bad news, here only option for daycare is her 7 year old son. She does what she can to survive.

That story is repeated a thousand times a day just in Battambang.

These pictures remind me of a Matt Maher song. See below.
