Barefoot in the Orchard
One of my favorite memories was walking barefoot in our apricot orchard. That was years ago, and it's still one of the first things that comes to mind when searching my life's memories.
It is unbearable for me to think about my beautiful orchard and the many others that surrounded it now only exist in my memory -- long ago replaced by houses. I prefer to keep those images in my mind as if it were only yesterday...
It's a beautiful summer morning, I'm 12 years old, outside my cat Peewee (a big yellow tabby with a bobbed tail) greets me. I head straight out into the orchard. The branches overhead hang low and heavy -- and the sweet smell of apricots fill the air. Running faster and farther with each step -- the seemingly never-ending rows of trees stretch out before me. I can feel the warm sun on my face and the cool feel of the dirt under my feet. ~

That is very important - thank you.
Great video Sabina. However, unfortunately poverty still pervails in certain parts of Asia. I have seen and known parents sell their child for prostitution and they start as young as 5. Not here but in neighouring countries. My first house maid from Indonesia was 16, she lied about her age and passport can easily be bought with a fake ID, we didnt know that. Our last one, a Cambodian was also 16, again, fake ID and fake passport. We no longer have any now. Flesh trade in Thailand is rampant and an important source of income. Children were kidnapped from nearby country, have limbs chopped off to beg. I certainly do hope that Aung Sang Syu Chi gets her free Burma one day.
