V at the auction

V poured our wine.

Vishika (whose name I'm sure I've mis-spelled) is one of the most vocal supporters of HT and has a story to explain it. Her parents carried her out of the killing fields of Cambodia after the Pol Pot regime of the Khmer Rouge took over the country. Her mother was also at the fund raiser, and made the satay and pot stickers. Tobias met Vishika after his first trip to Cambodia back in the states. Her cousin Ceda now works for HT back in Siem Reap. Vishika and her brother Thai - who was born in Thailand after the family's escape - went back to visit relatives about a year ago for the first time. I had a chance to meet him at the fund raiser too.
