Sokhon

Even though we did not have to finish the reading for the Somaly book by the end of the week I have been done with it for more than two weeks now. I’m very glad that I get a hold of this book because it did not only teach me about the issues that are going on in Cambodia but it also touched me in many ways. The book has made me make a goal in this life time that I would love to accomplish now but I cannot. I really would love to go to Cambodia and help these young girls. I extremely would love to hear their stories told by them. Even though I would want to go now at this moment I cannot but I can say that I’m doing my best to represent NDNU as volunteer in the workshops/foundations that will be happening in New York this spring break. However many of us students see spring break as a time to get crazy and party with friends. I personally feel like there is always time for that throughout your life time yet there is not always time to help the people in need because you might just be a little to late or you might just not have the time anymore. However the one story that really made me want to offer my time to this foundation was when I read the story of Sokhon it was very depressing just hearing a young innocent girl question god about her experience wanting and answer that no human can every answer. Her question was why would god put such a young girl through so much pain when she has not done bad. Which makes me question god as well, why is god putting these girls in these horrible pathways or is it not god maybe it’s just their destiny who know only god does.
