Breaking the Poverty Cycle

Karen and Lloyd: It was great to visit the ICC Light of Hope School and see the amazing job that is being done by everyone there.

It showed us that it is possible to make a change and break the poverty cycle for those children. 

While visiting the ICC School, we met Veasna Chan, a year 11 student.  He would really like to go to university to become an engineer.  Financially, this is a very big obstacle, so we have offered to sponsor him to help make this a reality.

Education is one of the best ways to break the poverty cycle, and we are so excited to be part of the change (even in this small way).

We are looking forward to continuing to support this amazing project.  If you have the opportunity I would highly recommend you visit!

Trip to Siem Reap Temples versus Soccer

Jo-ann: It was a long trip to the temples - 3 hours of crazy and dangerous roads!  But it was a nice to see the temples and be there. It was so hot and lots of walking and climbing up stairs.  We didn't have time to see them all. We only saw two temples, but we drove past others temples along the way.

We had lunch at the Blue Pumpkin.

 Then some of us had our feet "cleaned" by our little friends the fishes eating our dead skin!

After the temples, we went back to the ICC School and we chatted with the kids and had dinner. It was yummy! We ended up with another big bonfire and cooked damper - which only made us hotter! But it was so fun!  I helped the little kids cooking the damper and they was so happy.  They even fed damper to me - from their hand to my mouth - and I fed them too!  They so cute. I miss them already :(

I don't know it will be next year or the another year, but I will be back soon!

Lloyd: When we got back from the temples, we played soccer with the kids.  I actually had more fun playing soccer with the kids for 5 minutes, than the day at the temples!

Remember to Brush

Sarah and Jo-ann wanted to help the families in Chom Trough to keep smiling - with clean teeth!  So they gathered up as many dental and hygiene products as they could to share with the village.

Here's Jo-ann showing the kids how she keeps her smile so bright...!
