To Cambodia with Love

228

my younger brother amazes me. after so many years working so hard his life, he finally found his place, found his vision, and found his love. traveling around the world earlier this year, he stumbled on an orphanage in cambodia. the children there have AIDS and have no parents. he fell in love with the kids, and now is devoting his life to them. he went back to his home in san francisco, packed his bags, picked up his dog, and flew back to cambodia where he will spend the next year or so teaching the kids english. teaching, helping, and loving children that really need it. i was happy for him when he moved to japan back in the 80’s and attended a university there. i was happy for him when he graduated, got a job for canon in tokyo, and lived as a salary man for 8 years. i was happy for him when he moved to hong kong and started modeling. then he came back to america and landed a really good job making a lot of money people only can dream of. that, i was jealous. haha. but now, i’m proud of what he’s doing. i’m proud of the sacrifice he made. i’m proud of him devoting his life to the children of cambodia. he already raised $7,880 and counting. that will go a long way to keep the children living with hope.

to my brother Davis, hey, i’m super proud of you. you are doing such a great thing. i’m happy you found your destiny. on your last trip back to hawaii, instead of renting a car, you caught the bus. instead of staying at a hotel, you stayed at Mason’s house. instead of eating out every night, you ate at home. and instead of spending money on yourself, you decided to keep it for your cause. i’d never thought to this day that i would learn from you but i have. i will support you all the way brother. keep following your heart and remember that we are all behind you. good luck in cambodia and i will see you there!
