I was invited by my housemate to attend the grand opening of a youth center for disadvantaged kids known as Tiny Toons. Great name. Anyway, K.K., the founder of Tiny Toons, is a deportee from Cambodia, that is, he was sent back from the ghettos of USA to the ghettos of Phnom Penh for some crime or another. He and a few others are the founders of the first breakdancing and hip-hop culture in Cambodia. Just like back in the days in America, they're using it as a positive outlet for some of Phnom Penh's street kids, a means of expression and a sense of belonging. It's crazy to see the similarities of these kids and what I remember hip-hop and breakdancing to be back in the 80's growing up. Today he realized his dream- the grand opening of a drop-in center for disadvantaged kids that want to learn and practice breakdancing, hip-hop, rap, English and computers. He was teaching these kids out of his house part-time and now has the opportunity to follow his dream and do it full time giving these kids a place to belong and develop. It is a very cool side of Phnom Penh I'm glad to have discovered.
