Apologies for the delay in writing, but I haven't been on the internet much of late. I also now can't remember what I've done in the last couple of weeks so this may be a bit haphazard and all over the place!
The main event was Jillian leaving. She was a sobbing wreck and didn't want to go, having been here for the last 12 weeks.
New Hope remains the same as ever, except I have now opened Sherry's Boutique. There was a van load of donated toiletries, books, toys, pencils and crayons and clothes. Somehow I ended up sorting this mess out and the boutique is now doing a roaring trade in clothes for the rag tag kids who wander in looking for that special outfit. This means it is clean and intact!
The assessments continue and should hopefully be completed this week.....YAY!
We discovered a new evening haunt called the Giddy Ghecko which is off the beaten track and very chilled. So chilled in fact that 6 of us sat there chatting until 6am last Thursday. Angkor What? is still the favourite though.
A friend I used to work with at Starbucks in Maidstone has arrived in Siem Reap and has been out to New Hope to help as well as joining us for our evening jaunts.
Other than that.....it's still hot and humid, I'm still sweaty, the kids are still cute despite the fact that they smell and I've yet to find my knight in shining armour! Nothing changes.
