Sokha’s Story: Women in the World 2011

On a serious note, in the provinces, the flood has been devastating for millions of Cambodian just trying to survive what is usually a dry season. Though the waters have receded, the troubles may have only begun as still water in tropical climates are the perfect breeding grounds for disease.
