Ampil Camp: 1982-1985

Below are 3 souvenir pictures from Ampil camp where we had spent almost 4 years of our life. Ampil was a military camp belonging to KPNLF led by his excellency Son San. It was the first camp to offer the middle school studies at the beginning of 1982. Students from the other camps under the control of KPNLF were encouraged to come to Ampil to continue their studies. The only thing to know by the time was that it was (nearly) impossible to visit the families living in the other camps.

The first picture is from Hok's album. Thank you Hok. The last two are from mine. If you have pictures from Ampil, please share them with us. Great thanks in advance!
