Children of Kompompluk

While Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world, I don't think I ever saw what I would consider true "poverty" until visiting this village. I spent most of my time in the two biggest cities and in a backpacker beach resort, so it wasn't until Kompompluk that I really realized I was in a third world country. The children in the "high part" of this village (ie: the water wasn't high enough in a certain area so kids could play on the ground) were beautiful and curious and friendly. I loved taking pictures of them and some of these are my favorite of my entire trip.
