Rosie Writes From Cambodia

"It was an honour to meet Sareth in
her home. She told me about the day her baby daughter tragically died
from the effects of diarrhoea aged just six months old." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell

"Most families, like Sareth’s,
survive on an extremely low daily income collecting and selling rubbish
to pay for food, education and healthcare. Sareth is pictured here with
her six-year-old son, Chamroeun." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell
 |
"Chamroeun is the star of my Soccer
Aid appeal film! He was a lovable and cheeky six-year-old, but like many
children that live here he faces poverty, hunger and disease." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell

 |
"Sareth takes Chamroeun with her most days to collect rubbish, meaning he sadly misses out on going to school."

"This is the river alongside the
slum where Sareth and Chamroeun live. You can see it’s filled with
rubbish and sewage, and during the rainy season it floods into their
homes. Just behind me is the communal toilet, shared by 40 people." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell

"Every single day in Cambodia,
around 50 children die - most from diseases such as diarrhoea and
pneumonia. It’s startling, but it’s easy to see how children get sick
living here." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell
|
 |
"It’s a tragedy that precious children should die from illnesses that are easy to prevent and cure. It shouldn't be like this." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell

"Here I’m saying goodbye after a
truly life-changing trip. The people I met in Cambodia were so welcoming
and an inspiration. It’s an experience I will never forget." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell

 |
"I’m more determined than ever to
support children like Chamroeun, so they can grow up healthy and safe.
Money raised from Soccer Aid will help UNICEF to help more children get
life-saving medicine, food and clean water. Go to
unicef.org.uk/socceraid to find out more." Photo By UNICEF/CAM14/Sharron Lovell
