Children's Day Singapore

The streets were pretty empty and devoid of the usual school traffic this morning because Singapore celebrates Children's Day. Cambodia celebrates the International Children's Day on 1st June instead.

It just gave to cause to think of the great disparity between Singapore and Cambodia, and just how fortunate our kids are compared to the children in Cambodia, who despite the progress made in recent years, continue to be impoverished, uneducated and vulnerable to all forms of social ills.

I wish more Singaporeans can feel empathize with the tragedy of it all and just give a little of what they have abundance of, just to make the children's lives in Cambodia just that bit more bearable and happy.
