This shot captures some school children playing volleyball during their lunch break in Son Monorom Primary School in Mondulkiri province. Most of the children are wearing the typical Khmer public school uniform, of white shirt and navy trousers. The school and the playground look a little dilapidated, but the children don’t seem to mind.
In this image, a young student launches a serve high over the volleyball net. As he serves, the boy lifts his right leg slightly and stands momentarily on one leg. All the players’ heads look up and their eyes eagerly follow the flight of the ball as it sails through the air.
Although football is the most popular sport in the towns and cities of Cambodia, in the countryside volleyball is undoubtedly number one.
