The guest of honor in the middle

Little 'monkey' boy, 4 years old

Youngs girls doing an amazing job
This young girl had so much grace and beauty she was just as good as the women I had seen at my first Aspara show.

There are many orphanages in Cambodia still from the affects of war. I was given a postcard on the street from a young lady who told me about this particular one and an Aspara dance show they put on every night by the children of the orphanage. She just raved about the place so I thought I'd go check it out.
When I arrived I was welcomed by alot of enthusiastic young people who offered to give me a tour of their 'home'. They were so proud to show off the classrooms, the large bedrooms, the kitchen, lockers and the computer room and finally the stage area. They range from 4 to 17 years old, go to school there and also learn to dance or play a musical instrument. I could not believe how well behaved, polite and friendly they were. It truly was one big happy family and they all supported each other and loudly applauded their friends after each dance. I was the only guest there that night and the founders told me that often they have no one but the show still goes on and they cheer every night for each other.
