Today is Day 3 of our Siem Reap trip. It began with a nice breakfast, good devotions and off we went. From 10:30 our show team performed again for the morning set of students. In Cambodia most schools have 2 or 3 sets, which means that a batch of students come for the morning to study then go home at lunch, after lunch the next batch of students arrive for school.
I was out all morning hunting for a CD-ROM for the computers which were donated for the school, they were donated from a bank which means they ran off a network and had no need for CD-ROMs. The computers are the compact version of the DELL Optiplex GX110, they hold laptop CD-ROMs and they don't sell those here. So we had to get a normal IDE CD-ROM and do it the way you see in the picture at the bottom of this post. Took all morning to find a CD-ROM, and then we had software problems. But thank the Lord we got it all working and so tomorrow we will start the setup of the computers.
For the rest of the team this day consisted of performing, organizing games and activities for the children, distributing books, helping with the sanding and painting of the walls and putting together the chairs and desks to be used for the new classroom.
This post would not be complete with out mentioning the visit we made to a boarding school for the deaf and blind. This school is run by a French NGO but there is 1 girl here that is sponsored by Family Care Cambodia. This girl made my day, this little girl who comes from an extremely poor family and was found begging on one of the big lakes here, this tiny girl who when they first met her a year ago looked so skinny with her hair a light brown color from lack of nutrition (actually it was more like orange) her skin pasty and cracking all over. This girl who when she saw Andre and Mary came running up them and hugged them crying tears of joy, giving kisses and hugs, so much love in her eyes so much life, this girl who has nothing but who loves with everything that is in her. When I met her I cried, I have 2 daughters of my own, I cried. This little girl who had seen so much pain, suffering and poverty, this girl who is deaf had the most beautiful smile and so much love to give. I, who came to this country to give to the children of this land have received so much in return.
Enjoy the pictures from this day, and pray for the children of this land.
The morning activities:
Andre and Mary with the little girl from the story above:
Paul distributing some donated shampoo to the children at the school for the deaf and blind:
This was my lunch, the meal cost 2 USD and the coffee 50 cents:
The ceiling of the classroom being put up:
Me troubleshooting the computers:
I was almost unable to update the blog today due to network problems here, but the Lord came through. Stay tuned and keep sending in those prayers.
Until next post...
