Some children in Cambodia have been uneducated and they have not got warmth from their parents because they were born in poor families. Thus, their families have no choice besides sending their children to work instead of going to school.
They are sent to make money as they can; such as beggars, quarry workers, can collectors, and other ways that let them be able to make a little money. In this picture, these two kids not only don’t get warmth from their parents, but also don’t get education. They are sent to make money as beggars while other children who were born in rich families are getting education and warmth from their parents. At her age, she should be educated, but instead she is worked as a beggar and can collector to sell for money to support her family. She has played an important role in her family to make money.

She has done like this since she grew up. Sometimes she gets money easily; sometimes some people shout at her to go away. Moreover, she has got blamed from those people because of her dirtiness. It is the pitiful life which one girl and her little brother struggle, and they don’t get warmth from their parents and don’t get education.
