A Visit To The Cambodia Development Organisation's Orphanage
This is a video of a wonderful day that I spent with my dear friends, Minty and Linda, at the Cambodian Development Organisation's Orphanage, where we threw a party for the children.
The orphanage provides 24 hour care and shelter to 21 children from poor and deceased families. The children in the orphanage all come from backgrounds of extreme poverty and deprivation. They range in age from two years to 14 years. Many have never been to school and are desperate for a safe and loving home. The orphanage provides three meals a day and ensures that all children are attend a government school.
In addition, the orphanage runs its own classes in Khmer reading and writing, as well as English language. The organisers also believe in preserving Khmer culture, so they teach the children traditional dance, as well as tuition in playing traditional Khmer musical instruments.

62nd Chin National Day Celebrations
I was honour
ed to be invited to the 62nd Chin National Day Celebrations in Tokyo. The Chin are an ethnic minority group in Burma. Due to their persecution by the Burmese military regime, many have been forced to flee and try to rebuild their lives in foreign lands, as refugees. Sadly, this is reflective of all minority groups in Burma.
However, as tragic as the plight is back at home, the joy and pride that the Chin have for their unique culture, shone magnificently throughout the event in Tokyo.

The evening of celebrations that I attended were a fantastic, determined display of Chin culture, which consisted of traditional singing and dancing, as well as a fashion show.
A highlight of the evening, was Sung Tin Par - one of Burma's most popular singers and an international star. She was absolutely spectacular.
