We are all hardworkers in the LHA office, but we do like to have some fun from time to time. Many of the admin staff (Cambodian non-monks) are quite young so we tend to resort to online videos for some entertaining procrastinations "coffee breaks" during the middle of the day. The video I saw with them today was quite telling and powerful so I thought I would share it here.
This may be (yet) another Psy parody video of Cambodian kids enacting his infamous "Gangnam Style" but the story behind them is truly riveting. There is a short documentary portion in the latter half of the video so I don't want to give away too much information; but I promise you will see this video in a completely different light when you watch it for the second time.
And the most siginificant part is that despite their situations, the children are extremely talented, happy, and funny. Yet at the same time the video has touched many, including many Cambodians. I am not sure if these kids realize how much of an impact they have made but if they don't, I do hope they do one day. And I surely hope that they will continue to impact and inspire others.
