Knowing is not better than willingness ~ Cambodian proverb

Out of balance

We see imbalances everywhere.  Large economies dominate and it is very difficult for small economies to compete.  Huge corporations have more wealth, power and influence than many of the smaller countries.  How can small business compete with big business and how can a small country like Cambodia catch up?

The graph below shows how wealthy nations tower above the rest of the world.  On the one hand, I am thankful for the blessings that we have in my own country but, on the other hand, I wonder how much of our wealth comes at the cost of other people’s suffering.  Has God blessed us or are we just greedy?

This makes me feel really uncomfortable about just pursuing my own interests in life.  What can I do to make a difference?  I have a busy life.  I'm raising a family, I have a very small income and I'm busy studying a difficult degree.  But I have found that if I manage my time carefully (chop out TV, etc) there is a bit of time left over each day to do something useful - sell Cambodian curry!!!


The beauty of this curry project is that my customers are happy because I supply them with a delicious product and it also helps provide jobs and income for Cambodian people.  By selling Vissot curry in Australia, it helps their industry to build their capacity so that they can start to be more competitive. 


Thank you very much to those who continue to support and buy Vissot curry.
