(CNN) -- Cassie Phillips is in Battambang, Cambodia, where she will be
working with the NGO Homeland.
"Women and young people make up a large ****tion of construction
workers doing manual labor in flip-flops and large straw hats."
Homeland is a Cambodian organization that works with local
underprivileged children to give them some of the advantages they may
have missed out on in their early life.
Cassie will be meeting and helping children from the region who have
suffered from a range of afflictions. Keep up with her experiences in
her blogs and video diaries.
