EN GOD MÄNNISKA

10/01/29
Thomas Sahlström från Göteborg samlade många fattiga barn i staden Sihanoukville för rengöring av stranden. Inte nog med det har också Thomas lärt de sjunga, dansa samt följt dem till skolan på morgnarna. Denna sysselsättning gjorde han under sin bad semester i Sihanoukville.
FAKTA: Vi, 12 personer från Göteborg bestämde oss att semestra i Kambodja. När vi kom till Sihanoukville(badområde) inkvarterades vi på en Bungalow vid stranden i 4 dagar. Vi samlades varje morgon på Bungalows restaurang för att äta frukost. Thomas var inte närvarande vid dessa tider och vi började undra "var i helsicke tog han vägen på morgnarna". Många trodde att han låg och sov. Medan vi höll på med det snacket dök han plötsligt upp i sällskap med ett antal små disciplinerade barn. Efter att ha presenterat sina söta småttingar lät han barnen uppträda i form av körsång. De dansade och sjöng på båda kambodjanska och svenska. Detta var helt fantastiskt! Vi njöt av uppvisningen och var stolta över Thomas insatsen.

BEKÄMPA FATTIGDOMEN

Uppdat.10/02/01
Bekämpa fattigdom är inte bara ge pengar direkt genom radiohjälp eller välgörenhet till barn eller vuxna människor i de fattiga länder utan också ge pengar i form av lån (mikrofinans) som används till näringsverksamhet. Den första lösningen är en tillfällig lösning medan den andra är en kontinuerlig lösning som har behov av ett stark engagemang från båda låntagare och långivare. Nobels fredspristagare 2006 tilldelades Mohammad Yunus från Indien. Han var grundare i mikrofinans i Indien.
Just nu mikrofinansen i Kambodja håller på att balla ur systemet på grund av svag engagemanget från långivare. Den sistnämnda fungerar nu som en vanlig Pantbank.

BEAUTIFUL KRATIE!
Kratie is a province in northern Cambodia, a province where I was born, I left it since I was 2 years old. My parents moved to Phnom Penh and there i grew up. Kratie is unknown for me (not geographical) though there I saw my first light. However Kratie is a beautiful province which I find out during my visit in this area after 58 years.
With mekong river and big threes the province get an unbelived charm that makes me proud to be born there.
