Flooding in Cambodia 2011

My wife Lisa and I are volunteers living in rural Cambodia. We were 8 hours of bus rides away from home when the flooding started. Then we got a call that our house was flooded and we should not return. Of course we had to return. As we traveled back home through Cambodia we saw first hand the extent of some of the flooding. Over 100 people have died. 25 children just in our province. But it could get much worse as this water is really polluted and will start breeding and spreading diseases. it's also killed a porton of the rice crop which isn't good in a place where people already don't get enough food in the countryside.
