Cambodia

Day 4:
Yesterday we went to SFODA and PIO. I bonded most with the kids at PIO. I ment one kid named Visna. He made me a origami heart out of real (money). He was such a sweet heart! Everything he said was so polite and he spoke English very well! Ava and I spent a lot of time talking with him. We also had a dance! The kids were amazing! I swear one of the kids, whose name I cannot remember needs to be on MTV, he can pop and lock and every kind of dance move. A few of the kids showed us a traditional dance. It was so beautiful how they moved their bodies to tell a story. After so much sweating and dancing we had to say goodbye. One sentence that made me cry was, "don't for get me." I got so many hugs and goodbyes. I was able to hold in my cries until we got to the Guest House. I was in Ava's arms crying, which made her and Camryn cry also. I don't know how I am going to leave children that I have known for more than a week when I bawled for kids who I knew less than an hour. It "will" be the hardest thing I will ever have to do.
Day 5: 
 Today we went back to CPO after being away for one day. I missed them so very much! I loved seeing the huge smiles on their faces as we pulled up in the tuk-tuk once again. It was hotter than it has been in the past today to we sweat a lot more. Near the well Lisa Marie and had the idea to make a clothes line for the children so when wouldn't have to put their clothes on the fence. So for most of the day we cleaned up the back yard where the line would be. But after the work was done...we had another dance party! And these kids we amazing at dancing too! They can do the worm, flips, hip-hop, they can do it all! Unfortunately another day has to  end and thank god there is a tomorrow.
