about three twenty p.m. Hours of January 31 duemilaundici , we get Tiny Toones Cambodia and the center while meeting immediately before the gate to the museum lost the smile, is there waiting for me in the face of all the children attending this day care center, the faces are painted with the spray and the boys are very "stylish" even the smallest, alternate with passages of nomrali walk a few dance steps, surround me and greet me warmly.
We arrived later than the appointment and the girl who makes us to guide us immediately invites us into a classroom where the boys sing the school song taught by a volunteer with younger children, and I take off my shoes and entered the small classroom, placing them in front of the large class of children, they start immediately to return to sing and I try not to make too many movements to avoid compromising shots since I only have one chance to shoot at the same time I hope that the volume recovery that now I can no longer be appropriate to adjust the volume and strong the echo of the little room.
finished singing and I go out of control, the audio seems to me correct, then the children sing a greeting to me that the public below.
greet and thank the kids that I was moved by their commitment, and I move to continue the visit to the halls of music, step to the library and I keep taking pictures, there is a beautiful mural that hides the dining DJ by step and continues in the post room and music continues, time is short and in the courtyard waiting for me for a performance of boys grades, there is also Inismo them Tuy "KK" Sobilo the founder the school here will perform in a show of Breack Dance (I think).
Tuy has a difficult past but it is the example of the fact that it is never too late to redeem and especially to make available to support neighbor to help him not to take the same mistakes, the center houses children of disadvantaged families, who have drug problems, prostitution and exploitation of various kinds, all children have a family, but especially this happy island where they learn to dance, learn to making music, English and computer, in my view items that can save your life here in Cambodia, giving you enormous possibilities of change.
Some photos of the performance ....
I see time and ask the girl who has offered to give me a ride if we go by Antonio I said yes and let's start with his scooter, while we move a little chat ', asking the usual excuse for my English, and she turned around and as no one ever told me, I repeated that my English was better than his Italian, I promise I will learn English and I stopped to apologize because this still does not help.
arrives at Interviews where I had left the backpack bigger, but expect that Antonio is busy in the office I see the video and some photos taken of the children, she is enthusiastic about the quality of video and photos, I'm a bit 'because it takes less time to do good things, I tell him that I will publish the first and maybe see what I publish an e-mail, she says there is no problem, I can publish what they want.
I surprised her eyes as she tells me that many have pictures but then they all disappeared, even though I know for five hours and will probably not see her again easily feel a sense of purity in his words, moved here from Poland, coming up with the Trans-Siberian, which is dedicated to the cause of these guys, kind in any action, nice to everyone.
I leave you with the hope to return next year in the center to make a more structured way.
leaving with Antonio that gives me a passage near the Indian restaurant, but I do not find it near the girl who wanted to give them the phone my friend tuktuk, I go back to the restaurant and sit down to eat, good as usual I also do not end up wrapping the dog food, then I call my grandmother and my mother to empty cards Cambodians out of this country will no longer work, I pay farewell and head for the bus stop.
outside the restaurant I find my friend tuktuk, jumping up, we stopped into a martyr to predict anything for the trip and finally arriving at the bus, I go and I sit down.
It starts at the last stop on this pilgrimage.
