As I read this story about K.K., or Krazy Kat a deportee, I remember some Cambodian web forums posted articles to discuss Tiny Toons and their impact on street children in Cambodia, particularly introducing the culture of break dance. Most of the critics pointed out that Cambodia has a crisis and all these guys can do is turn children into wannabe thugs like them or that with hunger and poverty rampant, all they can do is teach kids to break dance. I think these critics are too harsh and themselves ignorant to the fact that it's not just about break dancing. What Krazy Kat has done is found a way to help street children with whatever knowledge and skill he has, provide a support outlet, social bonding, and in a small way, help Cambodian children heal psychology. What would you have done in Cambodia if you were deported?As the great John Wooden would say, and one of my all time favorite quotes: "Do not let what you can't do get in the way of what you can do" And with Krazy Kat, I'm sure there's a lot he can't do, but he took full advantage and put smiles on many kids' face with what he can do. You can't tell me this does not put a smile on your face. You can visit their website at: http://www.tinytoonescambodia.com/ |
