H.O.P.E RECONNECT — Sunrise Cambodia · Vol. I
Sunrise Cambodia · Vol. I · 2007
A full day with the children of Sunrise Cambodia. The first volume.
These photographs were taken at Sunrise's centres in Siem Reap and Kandal Province in 2007 — in the residential homes founded by Geraldine Cox, during activities and on outings to parks.
Sunrise was, and still is, a place where vulnerable children find protection, education, and family. Founded in 1993 by Geraldine Cox, the organisation has evolved over the years toward a community-based model — but its core has not changed. The children in these photographs were already loved, already cared for, already growing up.
The children in Vol. I were between three and fifteen years old. Today they are young adults aged twenty-three to thirty-five. Some may still be connected to Sunrise. Others have moved on — to new cities, new lives, new families.
A note on these photographs. Some of these images are still in colour — and that is intentional. Sometimes a face is hard to recognise after twenty years. But the colour of a clothe, the pattern on a piece of fabric, a familiar courtyard, the corner of a classroom — these can trigger a memory that a face alone cannot. And the adults in these photographs matter just as much as the children. A caregiver. A staff member. They may recognise themselves first, then help us find the children who once stood beside them.
