Nice video. Also, it's nice to see people/groups doing charity/humanitarian work like this . . . regardless of the location. I was born in Battambang and have lived in the US for almost 30 yrs, and have been back to Cambodia twice, first time in '01 and second time in '08. Always love to see videos/pictures of rural Cambodia. That's where the majority of the people are (obviously) and things don't change much in those areas. Thanks.

@tnaktnom The rural areas were beautiful, especially for me because the big skies and wide open spaces reminded me of where I grew up - minus the brutally cold winter :-) I think I have decided that prairies and plains are the places that I want to be. I drove through Battambang but we didn't get to see much of it. It was on the way to Siem Reap, which I thought was a fantastic place.

Did u video tape the volleyball court and playground being built. Looks like a very interesting video.

Awesome video. I visited Pursat March 2009 and did some teaching there at a local school. Great to see it all again in this video :-)
