Shortcut

Landscapes

Today I thought about last summer. One night when we came back home. The usual bus stop. The usual shortcut to get home. Something was different: it was the end of a nice and hot summer. There was a different smell in the air. Soon the leaved would turn to yellow and orange and make way to autumn.

Development with the help of Buddhist pagodas

Landscapes

Between 2001 and 2005 I lived with my family in Kampong Thom, in central Cambodia. It was my first long term project  abroad. I worked a lot in pagodas and with pagoda community committees and learned a lot about how these groups can help their communities and about the recent history of Cambodia. I am greatly indebted to all the people I met during those years in the pagodas of the province of Kampong Thom
