We can't choose how strong our body is, but we can choose how tough are our minds in face of adversity. Big salute to all war victims in Cambodia. <<Background: Landmines is a big issue in Cambodia, a place which went through three decades or war. Thousands were killed or injured because of the landmines left behind by the army during the war period>>

Terence –

Terrific.

Some of the war victims have become so years after the war stopped, being maimed by uncountable landmines still buried in that lovely but troubled country. Near Siem Reap is a land mine museum set up and operated by a man who as a child was taken by the Khmer Rouge and taught to place and arm land mines. When we met him just over a decade ago he had disarmed hundreds of thousands of land mines and was helping land mine victims adjust to their wounds, as well as enlisting travelers to teach English at the museum to the victims.

Terance,

 

An interesting picture along with Stuart's narrative of how people still suffer from the madness of war.

[Jacques Kallis]

It's a very bitter reality of the world that countries start a war rather than solving issues by debates or agreements. Their decisions affect a lot on human lives or the residents of the cities. Innocent people are killed during the war and the people who lose their body parts Spens a very miserable life. Very Sad!

Sad, and touching photograph.
