1. The fate of the elderly in my country, Cambodia

    73

    GRANDMA IS SO POOR. SHE HAS NOTHING TO EAT
    The kind of picture that breaks my heart…

    Cambodia is still one of the few countries in SE Asia whose state does not cater for, or formally recognise the needs of its elderly – the aged population. Reeling from the destructive legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime in the seventies where the nuclear family unit had been deliberately split apart to deny the family any influence it could exercise as a main rival institution to the state, this social and core human fabric has been coming under attack and grievously and violently violated further ever since under the current neo-KR regime as a consequence of the state's failure to redistribute 'generated' economic wealth equitably among its citizens, or rebuild a sound economic base capable of meeting demands of its domestic labour market, particularly, among the youths whose search for job opportunities has been forcing them to venture overseas leaving behind dependent family members such as this elderly woman to fence for themselves in the process… ~School of Vice, KI Media

  4. Grandma from my homeland, Cambodia

    So sad to see an elder this old struggles to survive…The day people purchase her items, is the day she called, 'lucky'. The day she will have money for food. That's why we should not complain much, but learn to appreciate with what we have in front of us. There are many unfortunate people out there who need our helps, our attention…

  5. The best things in life really are free

    543

    To be calm, relaxed, just being present in the now…sounds so easy but unless you are Gandhi, it’s not all that easy. It is too easy to get caught up in the bussy-ness of life and  let time slip away without cherishing the moment and appreciating everything you are blessed to have.

    Slow down, take a breath and literally smell the roses from time to time. The best things in life really are free and are much to often overlooked. ~quotesnsmiles

  6. What if? A Real Alien Wouldn’t Be Green and Bald

    30

    In February, 2014, NASA made a major announcement with the discovery of more than 700 new planets, described as being in solar systems very much like our own.

    Naturally, Team ‘What If?’ started chatting images of pugs in black suits, big-brained humanoids and an endless supply of Reese’s Pieces. (See ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’)…read more
