Well after a long time away from site and feeling like I have not really had my feet grounded in a while I get back to like some sort of family feud going on between my host dad and I guess another older brother I was never aware I had about this net for rice harvesting I only know this much bc my Khmer tutor had to come over to teach me and he got their to translate lucky me though I actually could figure out some of it on my own I just had no idea I had another brother. So lets see on going at site I have been trying to get soccer camp started except I still have not got the package for the stuff but im in desperate need of translators and trainers to help me run camp so ill keep fishing around for help that way. Well I got into my educational breast cancer boob and got a myriad of questions from my Khmer staff not on breast cancer because who needs to know that when you can ask about color of boobs and nipples. Okay so I am showing them this boob when the nurse who speaks English a little bit is being asked a questions by one of the other male nurses and all of a sudden the question gets directed at me about is that how white peoples boobs look mind u this educational boo is realistic to touch but not so much to look at and I was like well sort of but not really. Well then it was quiz time did I know that Khmer women have black nipples and what color where my nipples I know your all on the edge of your seats wondering did I answer I did however in the most scientific way I could and all I can tell you is the reason I know this I saw some random documentary awhile ago so I just say well your nipples are 3 shades darker then your skin this left them like o so not black then I was like what do you think and they all just laughed. Honestly I kind of would have thought this would not be a question bc I would assume they watched some sort of porn with a white chick in it but I guess not what kind of men don’t watch porn jkjk and have to save all their odd sexual questions for yours truly if this is the world we live in I really wonder jkjk. On an actual productive note me and all the volunteers who are living in kp chhanage are starting a group project on domestic violence a 2 today conference with educators in our rural communities so they can bring information back to their small villages etc to bridge the gap between big city’s and small rural Cambodia as to what can be done with victims of domestic violence I feel like this is a really big under taking but its awesome to have a lot of help from all the other volunteers and feel it will be a really useful to my community and mean a lot to my service. I don’t know if I really talk about the abuse in Cambodia but its pretty culturally accepted but also there is general unawareness of rights of women men get drunk and beat on their wives a lot. My neighbor at site is over once a week crying about this and for a while I tried to stay out of it bc I didt’ know what I could really do however because I have started this project I have stuff in Khmer however when I gave it to her she told me she cant read so I felt pretty bad but my sister read it all to her and she listen however as far as her doing anything to get her self out of her situation I don’t know but anyways I like to think this conference will help people like her till next time peace out from the other side of the world.
