WOW! Cambodia is an amazing country and not just because of its landscape, but because of its culture, its people, and its language. Everywhere you look, you find something new. Everything you do is a new learning experience. As you approach the orphanage, you can almost feel the joy in the air, and the adrenaline starts rushing through you. When the kids come running out, the excitement and joy spread throughout the group. As soon as you hug one of them, the happiness explodes from us all and creates a new atmosphere. One of the children running out is Paa, he is one of many amazing kids that I have met on this trip. He is always including everyone and loves to show you his stuff, from schoolwork to clothes to his bed. Today, when we got to the orphanage, Paa ran up to everyone and gave them huge hugs. Every hug you give and receive is special, because you connect with that kid and will never forget them. Another amazing boy that I have met is Sal. At times he can be shy, which makes you want to engage with him and get to know him. Today we had a potato sack race and Sal was standing in one, so I ran over and picked the sack up with him in it and swung him around. His face immediately lit up with a huge smile. Ever since that moment, I have felt amazingly weightless. I can't wait to go back tomorrow to see all the kids. These are just two of many amazing people that I have met so far. This trip is truly special, but its the little things that make it one of a kind.
Happy fathers day to my DAD
