Cambodia 202

We decided to do some spontaneous street level good works. Phnom Penh is the kind of place where you can just drive around and see person after person you would like to help. In truth that’s one of the problems, there’s so many people in need, where do you start, and where do you end.

You just start, and end when you have to.

We did a shop at Makro, the plan being to buy five big food parcels, a sack of the very best rice, a box of noodles, a packet of Himalayan pink rock salt, a bottle of good quality fish sauce, a bottle of good oil, soy sauce, strips of chicken powder seasoning and soup base, a dozen coffee sachets, a tub of biscuits, and a smaller packet of biscuits, packets of washing powder, tooth brushes, tooth paste, soaps, in total each food parcel cost $42.07, we bought the best of each item, and then added 2 stacks of 100 x 1000 Riel, Cambodian money. Each 1000R note is 25c, so each stack was $25, and we planned to give 2 to each recipient.

$210.35 + $250 cash in total.

A big shop and $50, a life changing amount for some people.
