Not for the faint hearted. This is the blood still on the ceiling from the murder of victims at Toul Sleng over 20 years ago. The Genocide Museum shows grusome pictures of torture victims lying dead - left by the Khmer Rouge when the Vietnamese took control. Sobering. It brings it home the pain and suffering this older generation has been through.
A boat trip took us along the Mekong River. Here the sun sets over Phnom Penh. A marked contrast to the brutality illustrated above.
Someone's backyard. A little different to what we know. The guy who lived at this house had kidney stones and was in agony. So we popped on the back of a moto and tried to find a hospital who would take him. He felt like he was dying but its amazing what a bit of healthcare can do when a bit of money is available - Thanks to TASK.
On a two day visit to a small rural village for clinics this is where we stayed. A traditional thatched house on stilts. Beautiful place, just imagine the countless chickens, flittering butterflies, brightly coloured frogs, chirping birds and mooing water buffalo from next door.
TASK workers on the left (Vorthea) and the right (volunteer) visiting an AIDs patient. She and her little boy lived on this little table in the middle of a big shed. It has been constructed for a new market yet to take form.
This health centre is a part of the floating village just west of Siem Reap (Angkor Watt). For three days they gave me a translator and let me be a doctor! With four other doctors we saw over 300 patients each day with no charge to them. We were limited in what we could do but we were able to pray for them and share the gosbel.
A little girl at the AIDs Clinic. I couldn't get over her cute big wide eyes. Just one of many sick kids who are being looked after by TASK.
