Street children’s daily struggles on the Cambodian-Thai border | Full Documentary
31 mei 2023
This film is the portrait of a young Cambodian, Vuthy, who has chosen to dedicate his life to improving the lives of others. For nearly fifteen years, he has been working with the NGO Friends International as head of a small team on the Thai-Cambodian border. This is a very sensitive area, and many Cambodians come to Thailand to try their luck, hoping to earn enough to support their families. Unfortunately, as they are often outlaws, they find themselves up against human trafficking networks and corruption. Many fall into a downward spiral of gambling, drugs, begging and prostitution…

For more than four years, the film crew accompanied Vuthy as he worked with street children and illegal migrants, on the frontier between two kingdoms, between legality and clandestinity, between childhood and wandering, innocence and violence… As they met him, they were able to penetrate the world he lived in, to share his moments of solitude and doubt, but also the good times with his family and friends. Lives on the Border reveals the destinies and actions of a handful of men and women fighting for the future of hundreds of children and families. Vuthy gives these street children a home away from the dangers of the streets. The NGO “Friends Thailande” teaches them to read and write, as well as looking after their health. But the struggle to improve the lives of these children is not without its difficulties. Most of the families are dysfunctional and live a fragile daily existence, offering no healthy living environment for these children.

“The Good Samaritan” is a parable told by Jesus Christ in the New Testament’s Gospel of Luke, Chapter 10, verses 25-37. Here are some key points about this story:
The story begins with a Jewish lawyer asking Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus asks the lawyer what is written in the law, and the lawyer responds with the commandment to love God and to love one’s neighbor as oneself.
The lawyer then asks Jesus to clarify who his neighbor is. Jesus responds by telling the story of a man who was robbed, beaten, and left for dead on the side of the road.
A priest and a Levite, both of whom were considered to be religious leaders, pass by the man without stopping to help. However, a Samaritan, who was traditionally despised by Jews, stops to care for the man.
The Samaritan bandages the man’s wounds, takes him to an inn, and pays for his care. Jesus asks the lawyer which of the three men was a neighbor to the man who was robbed, and the lawyer responds, “The one who showed him mercy.”
The story teaches the lesson that loving one’s neighbor means showing compassion to all people, regardless of their race or social status. It also challenges the idea that religious leaders are always the ones who will do the right thing, and suggests that outsiders can sometimes be more compassionate and merciful.
The phrase “Good Samaritan” has entered into popular culture, and is often used to describe someone who goes out of their way to help others, especially in situations where others might not be willing to help.
Overall, “The Good Samaritan” is a powerful story of compassion and love, and serves as a reminder that we should treat all people with kindness and respect, regardless of our differences.
De Samaritaan van de dag volgens professor Dirk De Wachter pagina 5 in nina van 13 oktober 2018
Een daad stellen als de Samaritaan van de dag hoort bij de essentie van het leven.
Acting as the Samaritan of the day is part of the essence of life.
The French phrase “Indignez-vous” translates to “Indignez-vous!” in English as “Indignate yourself!” or “Be indignant!” It carries a strong call to action, urging people to become outraged or deeply upset about injustice or wrongdoing. It was famously used in the title of a pamphlet by Stéphane Hessel, “Indignez-vous!”, calling for resistance against societal injustices and the erosion of human rights.
The phrase encourages people to feel a moral outrage and take action against the status quo when they encounter injustice. Would you like more context about its use or meaning?
“Indignez-vous!” is indeed a powerful and inspirational call for action, urging people to stand against injustice and societal wrongs. It’s interesting that Professor Dirk De Wachter referenced this title, as it aligns well with his focus on human behavior, mental health, and social issues. Hessel’s message resonates with the idea of challenging the status quo and not passively accepting things that go against our core values.
