Anniversary

So we celebrated out 9th anniversary by spending the night at a bed and breakfast. The kissing swan bath towels were a treat, but I had to get rid of the jasmine flowers. We went out for dinner at a local restaurant that served rib-eye steak. Served with peppercorn sauce and steamed veggies, it was a nice western treat.

Our team took turns leading the different classes in a lesson. The older kids receive English instruction, so they were able to follow the lessons fairly well. Some teachers did interpret for our team members. The kids are not necessarily assigned to grades by age. So there are some younger and some older kids in each class.








The students were very attentive and appeared to enjoy having special guests in their classes. Many children in Cambodia do not receive formal education. They may be unable to attend consistently or may not attend a school at all. There are many private schools such as parochial, international and Montessori schools. Providing the kids of Asia's Hope with formal education is a big part of the overall picture. There is a lot going on to improve their futures.








We also spent some down time with the kids of Prek Eng 2 just having fun. We brought these silly air guitars that were a big hit. We also did puzzles with them and played more soccer. Turns out that both puzzles and soccer are global activities.
