We’re getting ready to leave for our next Cambodia Team Trip! We’re so excited to return to Phnom Penh with familiar and new faces! Here’s a guest post from Emily, one of our return travelers this year. <\/em><\/p>\n My name is Emily. Last summer, I went on my first overseas trip: a life-changing, eye-opening trip with the organization Saving Moses. I’m a 16 year old girl who wasn’t completely ready for what I was about to see and experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n One of the moms stood out to me in particular. She was around my age, 17, and had a two year-old rambunctious little boy. But you could tell that she was proud of him and the gleam in her eyes made it indisputable. She was married at the age of fourteen to a man ten years older than she was.<\/p>\n As a girl her age, I couldn’t imagine being in a situation like being married at fourteen or having a child at 15. She was a night worker, a prostitute, who had to go to such extremes to simply feed her child.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
