Today was our first full day in Cambodia. In the morning, after breakfast, we visited many different temples like Angkor Tom, Bayon Temple and Angkor Wat. We then boarded our elephants and went for a ride around Bayon Temple. After many photos and selfies, we arrived back at the hotel and got ready for our first day of work. We drove to the village and met the family that we were building the house for. We put on our work gloves and knee pads and got straight to work, nailing down the floors, some with upside down hammers (Tanya) and putting up the walls, whilst making friends with all the local children. By the end of our work we were drenched in sweat but it was all worth it to know that we had done something to benefit this family and village.
Nathan, Tanya and Ariella
