The Traveling Navi

Day 5. Today was the last day of our adventure here, there was still quite a bit of work that needed to be done and we wondered whether we could finish or not, of course we had no choice, it had to be completed today. So we got to work finishing the painting, setting up of computers, scrubbing the floors, putting up the whiteboard, bulletin boards etc...
At 5:30 pm we were finished, it was a wonderful feeling, we could finally see the finished product of our hard work, sweat and more sweat.

Yes, it was well worth it and as we drove away from the school I felt good – a feeling of contentment knowing that we had helped to change the future of these children, and the many other children who would attend this school. I felt good because not only did we give material goods and help to improve their physical lives, but we had also taken time with the children, taken time to share God's love and the message of his salvation, we have given them hope for the future. Yes, I felt good and actually I still feel quite good.

Well, I'm going to go take swim in the pool and maybe have a beer, tomorrow we head back to Phnom Pehn.

Thank you to all of you for your prayers and support, a big thanks to the EO's of Singapore (Entrepreneur Organization) who helped sponsor this project.
