Exceptional location photography by Holly M. Nelson sets the backdrop of life in present time Cambodia.

“It’s often hard to imagine how one person can make any difference. We were inspired by the people we've met and wanted to use our experience to bring awareness to social issues in Cambodia and understanding to what many Cambodians went through. We also want to inspire people to get involved in making a difference in the world.”
