Dear everyone
Our foray into the Siem Reap Night Market yesterday resulted in a major boost to the Cambodian economy!
Today, some of our kids worked on finishing off the house. The family who will live there are the poorest people in the village. The husband/father 'lost' a leg from stepping on a land mine. There are six children in the family, so eight people will be living in the house.
The rest of the group planted trees around this family's property and also their neighbour's property. This work was difficult- physically gruelling coupled with intensely humid weather.
The planting was completed in the early afternoon- ahead of schedule! Then it was playtime for our kids and the village's little kids.
Fondest of regards
Frances and Rhys
Sounds fantastic! You are bringing back lots of great memories for me! I hope the rest of the trip is as meaningful...
