The city's government and high society are uninterested in the problem or its solution, leaving these children to fend for themselves in a harsh and uncaring world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\/ \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn From a Child's Eyes, author John A. Stancik recounts his experiences of traveling to Phnom Penh for a month. He provides not only firsthand accounts of the deprivation he witnessed among the children of the city but also striking photographs that demonstrate the widespread nature of the problem. As the thriving city struggles to balance its economic growth and tourism with an increasingly poor population, religious family values, and the shame of its shantytowns, few among well-off Cambodians recognize the problem at all. Until capital from tourism can be used to build social programs for everyone, the homeless population will continue to live in the city's landfills, and dirty and crippled children will roam the streets without hope or help.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this personal narrative, one man recalls his time in Phnom Penh and reveals the depth of the problem facing thousands of homeless children in an otherwise prosperous city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John A.
