"This anonymous and regal Village Elder, surrounded by a plume of smoke in his home near the great Tonlé Sap river, is part of my series, Surviving Cambodia, also the name of the book I produced about the project. Since 2006, when I first visited Cambodia, I've been involved with an amazing, Chicago-based nonprofit organization, BuildCambodia.org, dedicated to raising awareness about the country, and to helping its people build up their lives. All proceeds from the sale of the book, available on jimkrantz.com, are donated to this remarkable organization."
