Cambodia.


Cambodia is situated in South East Asia and bordered by Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.  It has a population of over 14.8 million, most people still live as subsistence farmers making a living from small landholdings, and approximately 95% of them are practicing Buddhists. It has one of the least developed economies of SE Asia, mainly due to the Khmer Rouge (war and genocide) in 1968. The prevalence of HIV in Cambodia is among the highest in Asia, meaning a lot of children are orphaned.
