Child Labour
The continuous civil
war in Cambodia has caused most children to lose their parents and
they have to find their own food to live. Some joined the army,
some became street children and had to collect plastic bags to
sell to plastic enterprises. Some became robbers etc., and the
government doesn't care at all about these problems.
Some
local youth organizations and NGOs try their best to find out good
ways to help these children by teaching them skills (fixing cars
or motorbikes, sewing etc.) and educating them. Finally, those
children can find jobs to support their living. But what those
organizations have done can help only a small part of the problem.
The funding from the organizations is limited and most of the
children get use to their free living (they don't want to live
under control).
