Many, like the workshop coordinator Sohrab Hura, have returned again and again to be a part of this initative.

Their warmth and innocence is often reflected brilliantly in the photographs. They can be <strong>more genuine and earnest in their pursuit of photography</strong> than most of us.</em>&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Sean Lee, Singapore</strong></div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> <img alt="Anjali-0230" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/36704/anjali-0230.jpg" /></div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> &ldquo;<em>What I remember from my first time with the children of Anjali is when I brought them to the temples in Angkor complex. They are so pure and honest. They just shoot what they want to shoot; people, nature, temples and so on. What impressed me with Daney for example is when she walked into the group of crowded tourists, she simply took action, smiled at them, was with them and she could capture things.</em>&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Kim Hak, Cambodia</strong></div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> <img alt="Anjali-0182" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/36705/anjali-0182.jpg" style="cursor: default; " /></div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> &ldquo;<em>Engaging with the Anjali children over the past two years, I have attempted to provide them the condition to explore their sense of wonder.

<p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Toutes les photos de cet article ont &eacute;t&eacute; prises par <strong>Chan Sokdam</strong>, un jeune Cambodgien tr&egrave;s talentueux.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Chan Sokdam, cadet d&rsquo;une famille de quatre enfants, est n&eacute; en 1993, &agrave; Preah Vihear. Il n&rsquo;a que 5 ans quand sont p&egrave;re d&eacute;c&egrave;de. Au lieu d&rsquo;aller &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;cole, il n&rsquo;a d&rsquo;autre choix que de travailler afin de subvenir aux besoins de sa famille.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="01_11sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34304/01_11SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Incapable de joindre les deux bouts, la m&egrave;re de Sokdam part avec ses fr&egrave;res et soeurs pour chercher du travail. Elle laisse Sokdam avec sa grand-m&egrave;re &agrave; Preah Vihear. Quand sa grand-m&egrave;re d&eacute;c&egrave;de &agrave; son tour en 2004, Sokdam vit avec une famille voisine et gagne sa vie en prenant soin de ch&egrave;vres dans le village.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="02_06sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34305/02_06SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> En 2006, Sokdam d&eacute;cide de quitter sa province natale pour la ville de Siem Reap qui attire de plus en plus de touristes au Cambodge. Il se joint &agrave; un groupe de gar&ccedil;ons vivant &agrave; proximit&eacute; du march&eacute; de Psar Leu. Il partage une petite chambre avec 8 autres gar&ccedil;ons, extr&ecirc;mement pauvres. Il gagne sa nourriture en cuisinant et faisant les t&acirc;ches m&eacute;nag&egrave;res pour le groupe.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="03_09sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34306/03_09SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Apr&egrave;s un temps, Sokdam r&eacute;alise qu&rsquo;il veut une vie meilleure. Livr&eacute;s &agrave; eux-m&ecirc;mes, les enfants tombent vite dans l&rsquo;alcool et la drogue. Apr&egrave;s 3 mois, sans argent et sans personne &agrave; qui faire appel, il part chercher de l&rsquo;aide.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="04_15sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34308/04_15SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> C&rsquo;est ainsi qu&rsquo;en 2007, Sokdam arrive &agrave; Anjali House. En apprenant sa situation, Anjali House l&rsquo;accepte dans son programme et lui trouve un logement &agrave; la mission chr&eacute;tienne locale.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="05_07sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34307/05_07SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> L&rsquo;association va retrouver la m&egrave;re de Sokdam qui vit d&eacute;sormais &agrave; Poilet, une ville &agrave; la fronti&egrave;re Tha&iuml;landaise. Ses fr&egrave;res et soeurs eux vivent et travaillent en Tha&iuml;lande, mais restent introuvables. Sa m&egrave;re s&rsquo;est remari&eacute;e mais les revenus du couple ne sont pas suffisants pour que Sokdam puisse vivre avec eux.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="06_14sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34309/06_14SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> A Anjali House, Sokdam re&ccedil;oit un soutien scolaire et financier. Il a suivi un stage en &eacute;lectronique avec les Chantiers Ecole (l&rsquo;&eacute;cole de formation pour les Artisans d&rsquo;Angkor). Il a &eacute;galement &eacute;tudi&eacute; l&rsquo;anglais &agrave; la Future Bright International School.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="07_03sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34310/07_03SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Il d&eacute;couvre la photographie en 2007 pendant les &laquo;&nbsp;Anjali Photo Workshops&nbsp;&raquo;. Son talent pour ce medium lui a permis, &agrave; 17 ans, d&rsquo;avoir sa premi&egrave;re exposition en solo, en f&eacute;vrier 2010, &agrave; l&rsquo;h&ocirc;tel Heritage Suites, &agrave; Siem Reap.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="08_12sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34311/08_12SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> En Novembre 2010, participant aux 6&egrave;me Angkor Photo Festival, l&rsquo;H&ocirc;tel de la Paix accueille une nouvelle exposition solo de Sokdam, pr&eacute;sentant sa s&eacute;rie &ldquo;Life and Disabililty&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="09_17sokdam_copy_2" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/34312/09_17SOKDAM_copy_2.jpeg" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Parlant d&rsquo;Anjali House, Sokdam dit: &ldquo;<em><strong>J&rsquo;ai beaucoup de chance d&rsquo;avoir rencontr&eacute; Anjali, o&ugrave; je peux avoir acc&egrave;s &agrave; une bonne &eacute;ducation, me faire des amis, rencontrer des gens, pouvoir manger &agrave; ma faim, avoir des nouveaux habits et un v&eacute;lo. Je me sens en s&eacute;curit&eacute;, Anjali me donne de l&rsquo;espoir pour le futur.

<p> Anjali House est une ONG enregistr&eacute;e en France et au Cambodge qui apporte nourriture et &eacute;ducation &agrave; plus d&rsquo;une centaine d&rsquo;enfants d&eacute;favoris&eacute;s de Siem Reap.</p> <p> <img alt="Anjali-fc-2008_-_03" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/32114/ANJALI-FC-2008_-_03.jpg" /></p> <p> Tout a commenc&eacute; en 2005, quand un groupe de photographes s&#39;est rassembl&eacute; autour d&#39;un projet de promotion de la photographie en Asie du Sud Est. Ils ont ainsi cr&eacute;&eacute; Angkor Photo Festival, bas&eacute; &agrave; Siem Reap. &nbsp;</p> <p> Pour les membres d&#39;Angkor Photo Association, la promotion d&#39;un &eacute;v&eacute;nement culturel s&#39;inscrivant dans une r&eacute;gion d&eacute;favoris&eacute;e du monde&nbsp;devait s&#39;accompagner d&#39;une action d&#39;utilit&eacute; publique et c&rsquo;est ainsi qu&rsquo;ils ont cr&eacute;&eacute; Anjali House.</p> <p> <img alt="Lsb.cam.1171" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/32110/LSB.CAM.1171.JPG" /></p> <p> Anjali a commenc&eacute; avec une troupe de danse exceptionnelle emmen&eacute;e par Sangeeta Isvaran ainsi qu&rsquo;avec des ateliers photo initi&eacute;s par Antoine d&rsquo;Agata, photographe de Magnum Photos. Le succ&egrave;s de cette premi&egrave;re &eacute;dition a encourag&eacute; les membres d&#39;Angkor Photo Festival &agrave; aller plus loin.
