Incredible Trip
Mood:  silly
Hi Everyone -
This is a few days late - but thought I would post it anyway.

Everything is great here! We arrived and the next day we went straight to the Sunshine House (the orphange) outside of the city where we stayed for 3 nights. It was wonderful to see all the same kids and a few new ones this time. It was incredible. They just built a new "block" or building to house 20 more girls. So they are looking for sponsors for them! We have all the information if you are interested in sponsoring a child, let me know. They need the sponsors before they can bring in the girls!

While we were there we got to see the toilets that
they built at the school and the principal came out to say "Akkon" or Thank you. It was great. We also did all the farming and cleared a field of weeds so they could plant spinach. The next meal we had - they cooked up the weeds that we just tilled. They tasted very interesting... The man that usually took care of the farm died the day that we arrived - so we tried to keep up with the farming while they look for someone else to help with his job. We also cleaned the pig pens - which was pretty hilarious... it was extremely gross - and you just tried to not slip in the poop and land in it - or tried to get the pigs to stop eating your pants. We got a lot of video of that! They had a cremation for the farmer - and Pushpa took us to it. It was a Buddist ceremony & extremely interesting. We asked a lot of questions & took some pictures to share with you.

The day before we left the Sunshine House Pushpa told Srey Kan (the little girl that I sponsor) that I was her sponsor & we became best friends for the last day and half. Pushpa told me that she was telling all the other kids that I was her sponsor & she would give them a play by play of what I did. It was hilarious. But when I went to leave she thought that she got to leave with me! It was really sad. But she has a great life there at the orphange & she is a very happy little girl. I had to say good-bye, but I told her I would send her a letter soon.

Next, the team split into 2. 5 of the Young Life
people went with the Young Life team here in the city and the rest of us (7 people) went to a village outside the city and spend 2 days there - where we went to the schools and taught the kids english. That was really cool - they were so stoked to see white people!

Now we just got back to the city - where we are going to rest for a day and probably do some touristy things tomorrow & tomorrow night we are going to help handout food to the homeless people in the city. It should be amazing.
Thank you all - for your prayers and support. I look
forward to sharing my pictures with you and MANY more stories!
Have a wonderful day!

Love,
Charity
