Poipet
A memorable exchange of undying love happened here in Poipet the place the lonely planet guide advises you to leave as soon as you arrive! I noticed a couple, the man badly disfigured, missing his lower arms and blind being guided by a woman. They stopped while she took a plastic bag and discreetly unzipped his trousers so he could pee into the bag which she tied and threw into a bin. They were chatting and smiling to each other and seemed very much in love. They moved on and she sat him down to beg from tourists arriving across the border. She put a hat on his head, and gave him a drink, then sat beside him and waited. It transpires he's a land mine victim who received no compensation from the government when he lost his limbs and sight...... see blog for more!

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
