"Tuol Sambo - AIDS Colony" by Artur Gutowski | cały materiał zobaczyć można tutaj: http://www.artgutowski.com


In 2009 the cambodian government decided to evict 40 families
with HIV/AIDS from Borei Kolei (the district of slums Phnom Penh)
to Tuol Sambo. Nowadays this part is bigger and there are 60
families. Mostly you can see there children who are so happy and
play all the time. There is "strange hapinness". All of them live in
barracks. There are not any toilets and running water. There's
missing food, medicines and clear water. The government sent them
to die. Inhabitants try to manage with this hard fate. Before eviction
majority of them worked in different occupations. Unfortunately,
nobody has money to go to the city- transport is quite expensive (it
is about working day to pay only for ticket). But they do not give up.
The fighting to survive is so important to live and earn money.
The people are scared ... They are not sure about future. Parents are
worried about their children who will be orphans. Each day is a kind
of challenge. I loved these people but I really hope their hard
situation will be changed one day. All the time they need some help
from outside, from good people...
