Frustrated with government corruption, the Khmer Rouge sought to make a classless society. They targeted religious minorities and intellectuals. Even people with glasses were executed as the Khmer Rouge perceived them to be an educated elite- getting in the way of their rural dream.\u00a0<\/p><p>I visited the Killing Fields twenty minutes outside the city. This is where many were killed. There, you can see a literal tower of skulls made from the millions of people who were executed, starved, or overworked. In the Killing Fields, rain continues to uncover bone fragments and clothing from those killed in the mass graves.

We say \u201cdeveloping country\u201d instead of \u201cthird world country\u201d because we want people to see the value in these countries and not think of them in derogatory terms. We are careful not to position ourselves as the saviors in our work but highlight the excellent ground teams who are genuinely doing the work.
