A Little Breadpig In Cambodia

As you may have noticed, the breadpig was away for most of September. Soaring through Thailand and Cambodia, our winged porcine hero made some fascinating discoveries. One of which is an organization in Cambodia called FRIENDS (I’m not yelling, that’s just how they write it) that works to get street children into safe environments and teaches them skills for future careers in the process.

An easy way to support this organization (if you happen to find yourself in Phnom Penh) is simply by patronizing their restaurant, which is run by former street youths and serves tasty tapas. Once you’ve got a full belly, you may consider donating some money for a brick to be painted in your honor.

They’ll let you write just about anything — the breadpig proved that.

The children have painted what appears to be an 18 wheeler pulling a giant load of hope into a crowd of dots while three onlookers watch, mouths agape.
