Khmer Village, located between Jetty and Site 1,was a place where about 300 Cambodians called home. Like fellow Vietnamese boat people, these refugees had also fled their own country on boats and experienced the same hardships, life death conditions on their weeks-long trips on the high sea before reaching Indonesia.

Quan A^m Pagoda viewed from the street between Khmer Village and Site 1, where we sought consolation  when we were in  despair or having disappointed moments.

this picture is seen from a local web site promoting tourism. It shows a young looking tourist couple posted  in front of Quan Am statute, which stands at front yard of Quan Am Pagoda looking toward the sea. It is an art work of a female Vietnamese sculptor.  I often wonder where in the world she is now.

This pagoda, the statue, and other religious structures are still in place, even after all the Vietnamese boat people had left Galang. I found the following paragraph from that web site : 

VietnameseAbandoned Refugee Camps in Galang Island

"The Vietnamese refugee camp in Galang Island stood silently as a witness   to the history. The community of families that called the compound home did not leave an empty space. We are repeatedly reminded that they were a community of values, belief, and will. Places of worship are dominant, in some places with Vietnamese language hymn books stacking on an otherwise empty tables. Weekly schedules of altar boys still hangs on the wall. Smiling faces in photographs of a barbecue outings are arrayed on the wall of a community center. When you stand there, history itself flows through you - a history of people as real   as you and me.
