Today we brought beads to make jewelry with the kids of PE2. They had lots of fun making necklaces, bracelets and rings. And as sweet as they are, they wanted to give nearly everything they made to us.
Some of the homes have a program for jewelry making as a trade craft. Okoa and Trade Justice Mission provide materials and retail outlets for older girls and young women to learn the craft and earn income on the jewelry they make. www.okoajewelry.org
Phnom Penh at night and dinner out. Pictured is the national monument. There is a fairly strong sense of nationalism in Cambodia. This month marks the queen mother's birthday and national tributes are highlighted throughout the city. Additional banners adorn all the government buildings and the streets are lined with flags.
