I travel to Cambodia once every year ...it is easy to see how large companies can be fooled into believing they are doing the right thing by the workers in these sweat shops ....unless somebody was to go and pay each and every employee personally there is NO way to ensure they are being paid correctly ...trying to help anyone in Cambodia is very hard ...its a very dog eat dog society ...we pay school fees for 12 children and take them gifts ....but we go there and do it personally otherwise we know they would get very little ,a begging nation that is happy to take whatever crumbs are thrown their way ....extorted and exploited by their wilier own and anyone else corrupt enough to take advantage of them ...very sad way of life ...but truly beautiful people ..corrupt money hungry governments create so many problems all over the world ...Bali is yet another story very similar :(
