Everyone is probably tired of seeing the same message on the front page of this site. I am sorry but my mind has not been cleared of the many tasks needed to be done to survive. So, I am sitting here this morning thinking of what to say to everyone who comes and goes throughout the site. If someone wants to say something on this front page, by all means, please send you message to me. I’ll be glad to post it on the site for you. Whenever you are ready, please send over what you have and we will decide how to approach it together.
The sun is shining on my back early this morning, for a moment I am feeling like going back home again. I am being told that, our country is nicer than before and the people are not starving as much. Just a few days ago, I received an article from Samai Tmei news that Cambodia is facing a high rise in the prevalence of diabetes. In one instance, I am happy to hear about this. It indicates to me that our Cambodian people are having enough food to eat, at least the majority. Eventually, I hope the growing in abundant of food will filter toward the farmers and villagers. Diabetes, white it is dangerous and deadly; for a short time, it helps.
I have not give much thought to many things going on in the neighborhoods around the United States such as deportation, illegal immigrants are being target for raid everyday, gang violence, and the sad reality of leaving our elders in the third world with no ability of bring them back to Cambodia. Even thought our congressmen and women are working hard to find some immigration reforms, but it is an eerie feeling just like during the KR when they coming knocking on doors. To date, some of those who were caught in the net in New Bedford, Massachusetts are still being held waiting for deportation. My friends! Mothers and fathers are being taken away from home. Pregnant women and children are staying with their neighbors and love ones because their husbands and the fathers of their children are in jails because being in this country illegally.
I leave you here today, but I will return to say hello more often after I finish my responsibilities. When you have story to tell, please email it to me at Sidneyli@cambodianvoices.org and I will gladly post it for you. Oh! The smell of the morning mist, makes me homesick and wanting to go back. When the time comes, I shall return home…unfortunately not anytime soon.
