Children playing ‘Lot antak’ in front of The Wakako Hironaka School (Feb. 2000)

(‘Lot antak’ is a jumping game all Cambodian children like to play. It is similar to a ‘high jump,’ where children try to jump over ‘rope’ made of rubberbands. The making of the rubberband ropes is a tedious and intricate process, which many children devote a lot of time to).
