Boys abandoned in rubbish dump

This boy and his brother were abandoned on a rubbish dump in Ta Khmao town by their father, who became very ill and unable to cope after his wife left him. They were found there by an old lady who took them home with her, but then was unable to feed them. When we learned their history it was impossible to turn them away. Verifying these stories is heartbreaking, as we find it unimaginable that parents could do such things. But in Cambodia these are every day occurrences. The look on their faces when they saw the amount of food that was on the table at their first meal was a sight to see!
