COVID Appeal: Cambodian Families are Going Hungry
Re: COVID Appeal: Cambodian Families are Going Hungry
I’m never asked for money or offered sexual services when I go outside, so I guess our social environments aren’t the same.fsdfdsdf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:55 pmwhat does social circles have to do with it? every time I go outside Im approached by people asking for money or selling sexual services. khmer people tell me that most of them are begging because they are too lazy to work and thats been my experience as well. Im not saying they represent the whole country, just that I wouldnt sell my car for themKammekor wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 5:23 pmInteresting social circles you are in.fsdfdsdf wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:55 pm theres a difficulty which is that people with low IQs are unemployable. Ive offered quite a few people here well paid easy jobs but they think working is above their station in life and prefer to beg, or worse, expect their daughters or sisters to support them thru prostitution. they dont want to be tied to a job or do the work I guess. I dont like seeing the wasteful excessiveness of the ruling class here but on the other hand I wont be selling my car to give money to people that made the career choice to be beggars or pimps and are currently having a hard time of it
Today I hired a few guys to put up some poles for a fence for 20k riels a day plus water. My life's just so boring.

Re: COVID Appeal: Cambodian Families are Going Hungry
" Social circles", or the area you are living in, have everything to do with it. Nobody asks me for money or offers sexual services where I am living now. I also don't know anyone who pimps out their family.

Just pointing out that your view on Cambodians may not be everyone's view. You could ask yourself why this is so. If you mix with beggars, whores, and pimps then don't be surprised if they are useless and untrustworthy. But that would go for any country in the world I think. My 2c.

BANTEAY SREY’S ‘SOCIAL RICE FIELD’ DISTRIBUTES OVER 50 TONNES OF RICE TO THE POOR
Cambodia News, Banteay Srey: Officials in Banteay Srei have distributed over 50 tonnes of milled rice to nearly 2,700 impoverished and vulnerable households under the ‘social rice field’ program in partnership with local farmers.
District governor Khim Finan told the Phnom Penh Post that the rice was distributed to IDPoor card holders in the district from the harvest of 40ha of rice fields which the administration had leased from 88 households in Preah Dak commune.
“The ‘social rice field’ programme has received support including seeds, expenses and volunteer labour from the agriculture department, philanthropists and volunteers from the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia,” he said.
According to Finan, the program has yielded 84 tonnes of milled rice which has been gradually distributed to rice field owners, poor households and those affected by floods. The recent handouts brought total distribution to 2,668 households, each receiving 20kg.
Finan said the administration would continue the project this year because it had been a success last year.
