Bak Nim village is nestled in the lush greenery of Cambodia’s countryside—surrounded by rolling hills and towering palm trees. The landscape is dotted with traditional Khmer homes made of wood and bamboo, and there are rice fields as far as the eye can see. The nearby river provides a source of water for irrigation and transportation, and it also offers a peaceful spot for fishing or taking a leisurely boat ride. Visitors to Bak Nim village can enjoy the natural beauty of Cambodia’s countryside. Visitors can sample delicious local foods and explore the rich cultural heritage of the Khmer people.
During a recent trip to the small village, the youth volunteers from the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) observed a noticeable contrast between the village’s dark past and its current beauty. However, it is important to note that the survivors of difficult times can provide valuable insights to future generations about the precariousness of human affairs. By providing young people with the opportunity to learn, we not only preserve historical memory and promote justice, but we also lay the foundation for a brighter future.
