Angkor Wat and Siem Reip

Angkor Wat had amazing scenery. The little children living there and in Siem Reip are really hard to deny. Its the hardest thing in the world to tell a starving 6 year old girl that you cant help. I cant help everyone and it is really difficult to accept. I cant give every starving child on the street a meal and a safe place to sleep. It sounds cold but its the truth. This is not a place where one backpacker with almost no money can make a difference. Everyday there are starving children asking for a dollar or any amount that will allow them to eat. I want to help everyone of them but I cant. The messed up thing is that these people dont have welfare or any other system to help them. They survive off begging. It is one of the hardest and most tragic things Ive seen.
