Rochester resident Kim Sin closes his eyes and daydreams.
He remembers seeing the children in his native Cambodia, sifting through trash looking for a meal. But he envisions a place where the children can make a decent leaving and learn English, doing so with books donated by those in southeastern Minnesota.
The dream isn't too far from reality.
Sin, 33, and several friends have created a school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, that teaches English to about 200 people, from young children to 20-year-olds.
