A small boy holds a snake around his body as he approaches a boat of international visitors on the Tonle Sap Lake in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia. He tries to charge people money to take pictures with his snake in order to help support his family.

Two children read books while sitting on a boat in the Tonle Sap Lake in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia. Many children who live in and around the lake do not attend school, so many of them cannot read. Some of the NGO's in the Siem Reap area try to reach out to these children to teach them basic education and English.
