Young Nanny and Little Brother, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

In Ngong Khiew area there are many villages, which are not accessible on foot. You have to hire a boatman with a boat to go few miles down the river to experience local communities living in a distance from civilization. In South-East Asian countries there is a common habit that older brothers and sisters are taking care about their younger sibling. Especially girls are very supportive to their mothers with household work, by helping and taking care of the youngest. And this is such a situation of this kind I spotted.
