It’s amazing how generous everyone here is. My goal for
Cambodia was to give as much as possible, without expecting anything in return,
yet I have gained so much from this experience. These people don’t have much,
but they are incredibly giving. They will always find a way to show you their appreciation.
For example, when we where delivering
supplies in the slums, people where constantly inviting us into their home, and
offering us their food. Here these people live in little shacks, with no doors,
dirt floors, and one wooden bed for the entire family, yet they are still
willing to give us what they have. At home, we have it all, but all is never
good enough. Personally, I’m never satisfied with what I have. There is always
something out there that I “need”, always a material possession that I think will make my life better. Compared to these people, I have the world, and witnessing how
happy they are with what they have, really opened my eyes. Material wise, it’s
not about what you have or what you don’t have. None of that matters. In the
end, the only thing that will matter is how you choose to live your life.
