How do I start, started as a normal day, washing break fast etc.
New girl had arrived so took her to get a bike repaired so that she could use one,so 2 doors along to the bike outlet haha. 1500 riel (75p) bargain it took him an hour.(pictures is of the bike mending)
Showed Michelle around got photos printed and ordered a name for my bike as Thida was to have it. She is so excited to have her own with name on her bike also.
Went to cut couple of the kids hair, then shot off to do chores.
Then decided to go for Lobster lunch, for 7 dollars had lobster iced coffee and bottle water , I'm going to miss this place.
One of the younger ones Samnang we realised had hurt his big toe not kidding top of the toe was hanging off, so we got Bong Seng the manager to clean it up, never have I seen such a tough ,Kid, some of these Kids must have been through so much that they close there minds. Not kidding you I would have squealed, western kids would have screamed,it was horrendous not a murmur from him, so brave his only tiny. One of the boys I bought school uniform for.
In the afternoon we done craft making with the kids, purses necklaces, bracelets and a zubber set of brackets that you could make. They really enjoyed that except for one girl Vichara who sat as though she wasn't well, wouldn't join in anything. When it was time to leave I said give me a hug, and she burst out crying she had sat like that as she was sad. Bless them all, I'm covered with friendship bracelets and so many gifts, I have promised I will be back next year. They will remember, it was so sad, you can't help but love them. I wonder what they have been through in there little lives and there I am leaving them again. That's what half the parents have done. You wonder if you should go in the first place. Thida wasn't upset she got her own bike. !!!!
How can you not come back, something about the place it's not your normal holiday resort but it's a very content place I would say, everyone gives you a smile. Whatever time of day, most of them start there day at 5.00 am or earlier
Very sad day today, for us all.
Off to Phnom Penh again tomorrow to spend the New year.
