Day 4 - another early start. Today Family Care Cambodia hosted an English camp for about 120 elementary school students, our team helped as instructors and teachers. It was lots of fun and we saw such desire and ambition in the children that attended. One of the prizes we gave to each child were the "Tsuru's" that the children at our home made, the children here liked them a lot.
Each classroom had a certain English activity such as, learning how to introduce oneself, animal names in English, telling the time in English, colors in English etc... The children were divided into groups and each group had about 30 minutes in each activity. This went on all morning till 12:30 where we gave each child a special gift package and a nice snack.


Us at 6:00 am


The English Camp:


In the afternoon some of us took a bit of a rest since we've been working everyday non-stop since we've arrived in Cambodia. While some of us continued the work on the classroom. I, again, was in a room surrounded by computers till the setting of the sun. I was finally stopped by the power cut which I found out was from one of the workmen who decided to cut the wire bringing electricity to the school, he had cut a live wire right in half with a big pair of scissors. For dinner I got invited to eat with some of the sponsors of this project, a group of business men from Singapore. During the meal we were able to see a Cambodian traditional dance troupe perform, which was quite fun.




And that is the post for today, I'm exhausted and tomorrow we must finish up this project so I will go to bed.


Kari, Mia and Tia, I love you!

until next post...
