Day1-Day4

For The First Day:

The most memorable thing that happened on the first day was the things that happened in the farm orphanage. The children there were very friendly and so we made friends easily. Times with them were really fun and it is a joy to be able to bring joy to people who are less fortunate than you.

For The Second Day:
Most of the day were spent doing CIP such as cleaning the tables, building a toilet, picking up litter and painting the walls of the classrooms. Before that, we also taught the class the basics of ABC and 123, but they seem to know everything beforehand. My group's job was to paint the walls and so we painted walls, and maybe this would look good on the wall?
Even though it was pretty tiring and it made us sweat a lot, it is still quite fun when doing it. Even though it dirtied our shirt and pants, it was all worth it as we would be able to get back quite a number of smiles from the children studying there in return. =]

For The Third Day:
The plan for this day was actually to complete the painting that was not completed the day before, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to. Some of us fell sick
that day and so the teachers gave us time to rest and to recuperate. As a result, the wall painting is only 70% completed. So i hope that the teachers will bring another batch of students to Cambodia to finish the unfinished job. Hopefully, they do not fall sick too. =]

For The Fourth Day:
Most of us were feeling much better after listening to the teachers' advice of drinking more water and eating food. So we went to visit The Bayon Temple first. Over there, we were able to hitch a ride from the elephants there. It was very fun as it was my first time siting on an elephant and we toured around The Bayon Temple. Then, we headed on to the Ankor Wat Temple, one of the 7 Wonders of the world. It is humongous and I am very amazed by the fact that the temple was built without using any machinery, but just bare hands. Lastly, we went to hitch a boat ride to tour around Ton Le Sap Lake. The boat ride was simple, but we got to see how people lived on the waters. We even got to see a very beautiful sunset...
