Cambodia
Khmer Rouge

Pol Pot’s followers were likely influenced by a combination of fear, ideological indoctrination, and the desire for power or survival. In extreme situations, people can be persuaded to commit atrocities if they believe it is necessary for a greater cause.

Dream. El Chorrillo, Panama. The forgotten part of Panama City. Still holds scars from the December 20, 1989 U.S. invasion. I volunteered teaching English to the children of this area through my friend Victor’s kids program LocalinPTYkids. An experience I’ll always hold dear to my heart.

Spring is not too far off now. I will definitely plant Zinnias again. My favourite flower, so whimsical, and the butterflies love them. ❤️
