poor's the key is to have something the both china and the united states once they used to get from one another but no longer do because of their trade disputes but then don't risk offending either superpower politically because things change and nobody wants to put future trade deals in jeopardy. however there are still administrative hurdles to overcome and some caution over getting too excited. argentina is an important food producer but it doesn't have stock and it doesn't have investments because as everyone knows the economic situation here is delicate and to try to expand export capacity at the moment is impossible there's no credit and we can expand export capacity then there's the united states to worry about argentina recently resolved through a 10 year trade dispute with the u.s. over meat exports it's a major trading partner with substantial political influence in what it sees as its backyard but the department. i think the u.s.

7:23 am
a business. numpad the capital of come back. between the 1970 s. and 1990 s. cambodia was ravaged by civil war. since its return to peace there has been a boom in tourism with over 2000000 visiting every year. came to help this war torn country increasing numbers of tourists and now also working as one until. most come with the very best intentions to work in schools and orphanages and filling a gap left by a lack of development funding. but recently disturbing stories have emerged that come boden children are being exploited by some of the companies organizing volunteers or running all from agencies we've come to come by idea to investigate allegations that quite a few of these orphanages out run not for need but for profit.
7:24 am
our journey begins on the outskirts of jumpin at an orphanage and school for the people's improvement organization. set up 10 years ago it provides free education for children who worked on the city's main garbage dump. was that. they. if there's an example of best practice in this industry then perhaps this is it means that. the book from denmark has come to teach for 2 months. so has it been so far i really like that it's so clean i can do whatever i want and i come in to my fans like that everybody's really friendly and the kids are really respectful and they really care they give a lot. in a deprived neighborhood p.o.'s making a difference to organize pullen tearing in foreign donations. it's founder pam and

7:26 am
one of them the lighthouse orphanage on the other side of town. the. sinking. lighthouse is home to 108 boys and girls ranging from 3 to 18 years old and. they request that we donate some food for the. when to eat you get good food sometimes too you struggle i can say my spirit in your hometown a.b.c. got me n.p.o. yet so you need to nations from volunteer mr rich he is responsible for bringing volunteers to light house and he's found a way of increasing revenues. you will finish is not just hosting gap year volunteers but groups of school students on short term stays 2 just now a group of canadians are visiting in their downtime to students get to play with
7:27 am
the children. and over the past week some special friendships have developed even the teachers are not immune they say i don't know. dealing with the kiddies going to have to just lay down here and you know one of these little guys walks up and grabs your hand you have no choice but to sort of follow up with them so they. and that it's pretty awesome. as canadian simple from stroke closer not just good will but a lot of money is flowing into the orphanages to. be supplied by. the labor probably bought the tiles the sand and the compost so we sent out about $5000.00 ahead of time and then i brought a few $100.00 with me so we bought some rice them which i call work of a water pump to keep the garden going so. kind of give them a little happiness today with their shopping and all this is a huge amount of money in a country where the average wage is $65.00
7:28 am
a month what they will never know is whether all of it will be used for the benefit of the children. we knew from various reports that in a number of cases a huge influx of stone of money has attracted unscrupulous business people to open orphanages for the wrong reasons. to find out more and geo puts us in touch with conti and young chante who grew up in an orphanage. when the donors discovered that the director had been stealing the money donated for the children the orphanage was closed down. and john t. take us to see the old home to tell us about the reality. well since lives hidden from the eyes of volunteers. are being painted. over thomas the
7:29 am
big they can turn to. why didn't you tell the volunteers out was going on but that i am with you. on that will get at me and you guys my mail handling at least so long enough that i came out in the. palm grove with her. album and now it will go away when i. come says he still suffers spouts of depression he works in 2 different restaurants for just $3.00 a day. john t 2 says he's still effective and he now has a regular job at the airport but not everyone from the orphanages fan so well.
7:30 am
john t. introduces us to china who lives on the streets. and states he was not. caught in the area. but i'm in my book but what one can say to him but. chide barely speaks. but put in japanese. it's a. small chronicle back in full. time fatima duffy pathname yes my red hat but hold up the hat i took out on the bike. by the family and by you. but it's not just the combo. the ins in charge of orphanages who are accused of taking advantage of the money flowing into that voluntourism has become a global industry and with foreign companies tapping into the potential profits true. we need us trail now demi jackson is who has volunteered in cambodia for the
7:31 am
past 3 years and her experiences have made a jaded about the industry that really led to a lot of our nature is there that the things that vary from behind the scenes that you would just see coming in fast time demi explains that volunteers like her book this stays in cambodia for international commercial volunteering companies based outside the country and. her 1st visit in 2009 was through projects abroad one of the largest in the world. volunteering comes at a cost and demi surprised how little money actually goes to the local orphanage is a program my doctor once told me they get tired all the same way. here. that you know it takes of what you pay up to $3000.00. that he gets tired the other way so what he's saying is about a $100.00
7:32 am
a week for me to mention if you have 10 people say that fallacy do you think that sets up that. lot of money. somehow just a moment to the. thing that really high. shisha is an ngo that investigates allegations of exploitation of children in orphanages and it's one of the few places where volunteers can voice their concerns here and. i know from you know i'm giuliana. ehrenstein my working on a case about an orphanage called the children's umbrella center organization or cuckoo brought to them by form of volunteers. so these are the e-mail complaints that we did get from the. volunteers really clearly stated what their concerns were . the abuse the children missing the director was openly saying that he did want to adopt the children out for a price about $10000.00 which is which is extremely concerning for the shut as well
7:33 am
the doctrine is illegal income. there are allegations of physical abuse or food standards so the kids are looking hungry i would hope in sewage the boys are sleeping and smaller roof in the roof is leaking so this place is getting international volunteers going is ations do you know who these organizations are well suited for one or the volunteering projects to brought and this is dating back to literally one pretty much one year ago. took the allegations to the competent government to send in their examined in november 2011 and january 2012. has been inspected twice by the ministry of social affairs and they found the conditions step holding in fact that but they were close people and it's doubt if it doesn't stop complying with the minimum standards.
