Young postcard vendors in Cambodia

Summary[edit]

Description

Too young, but beautifully bright-eyed and swift little saleswomen. Like other prodigies we met, these girls could count to 10 in at least a dozen languages although they faied at remembering the Swahili Joanne tried to teach them.

I struggle with such situations. My experience and ethics really push hard against buying from chilren and supporting their labour, but I also know how much that position doesn't help these two improve their life. I've a soft spot in my heart for such girls and boys, so bright and deserving. Never easy.

My so-far solution is to at least talk to them, make them laugh, teach them a game, share something and sometimes break your rules and buy something.
