Penapa

[En-Fr] Penapa is the name of this Cambodian girl. I spent lots of time with her family, helping them to do their homeworks. This picture were taken when we went to pick lotus stems. Kids use them to make necklaces ; you can also eat them boiled with rice but I prefer to eat the lotus seeds ;)

Penapa est le prénom de cette petite fille cambodgienne. J'ai passé beaucoup de temps avec sa famille, je les aidais régulièrement à faire leurs devoirs. Cette photographie a été prise lors d'une balade pour ramasser des tiges de lotus. Les enfants les utilisent pour en faire des colliers ; vous pouvez aussi les manger bouillis avec du riz. Personnellement, je préfère les graines ;)

Ohhh, I like this! Penapa has the child's innocence and curiosity in her face and that lotus is beautiful...

Yes, you're right, she has the child innocence, despite her life is not easy every day.

oh this post feels really calm, the story and the picture, all together warms my heart. Cambodia, lotus, Penapa :)

I love this photo. Looks like a fantasy movie, a magical moment. Cheers and thank you!
