Amara-Hope amidst the darkness

Amara wants to be a doctor. When we film her sharing her dream in front of her house, the trash in the alley dissolves, her humble house constructed of scrap metal on the red dirt is transformed and the injustices of the world fall away. Amara from the end of the road wants to be a doctor and when she says the words, brings her dream into the 100 degree Phnom Penh heat and humidity, the city is already transformed, her electric smile lighting up the dark places in the world. Amara wants to be a doctor and because of generous donations to CASF by people who dare to believe in impossible dreams...I feel sure as I watch her shyly cover a smile and look to her younger sister and mother silhouetted in the doorway that someday she will make her dreams come true!
