Excellent photos! Dengue fever season is always around the bend for Cambodia. I was there during Dengue season and decided to donate blood to the local children's hospital. The line-ups of very sick babies and children were along every hallway and outside of the hospital. I was ushered in by a guard, and treated like royalty when I said I was there to donate blood. The sample fridge was EMPTY. So sad...so many tourists see Angkor Wat/Cambodia, but don't donate blood (a mindful way to give something to the needy)! The hospital was very sanitary, I watched the Dr. open the packaged needle right in front of me. Only took me 10 minutes. Give it a try, you'll feel more hopeful about the overwhelming poverty that surrounds and constantly asks you for help. Thought you might consider this idea. Cheers!
