BACK FROM KAI'S VILLAGE!
Heyy everyone! So after a very quick week at the orphanage we are back in Phnom Pehn preparing to head to the beach tomorrow morning!! The week was fantastic - we all had an amazing time! The work was a bit tedious at first as we spend the first 2 days picking rocks for 6 hours :/ However, for the rest of the week we worked on the farm, planting seeds and raking all sorts, for 2 hours and then played with the babies or taught the older children English for another 2 hours. The orphanage itself was lovely, the people were all so sweet, always with a smile on their faces, and you could tell that the children are well looked after. We felt glad leaving knowing all the children are in safe hands and will have an enjoyable childhood.
The goodbyes were very hard as we had bonded with alot of people, young and old. We all shed a tear or two! We obviously had as much of an impact on the orphanage as they did on us which is an amazing thing for us all to experience. I honestly think none of us will ever forget this week and the amazing people we met.

Getting ready for the orphanage
Had a 4.00 am start to the amazing temples at Ankor Wat, unfortunately it was cloudy so we did not get to see the sun rise. Still amazing though! Now getting ready to travel to Phnom Phen and the orphanage, the people here are very friendly and we are all looking forward to meeting the children. Hope you are all enjoying the last day of term and have a fab holiday. I have developed cankles from the travel but hope they go down before I come home or I will not be able to fit in my shoes. I would also like to report to Miss Day that the girls are bullying me :-(, only joking they are all excellent company xxxxx Miss H

just to let everyone know we made it to cambodia all safe and sound!!
love the girls

THIS IS IT!
Amelia and Natthida here! In 2 hours we enter the jungle for our 7 day trek. We're all having our final proper showers as we're all slightly worried about how we're going to get one in the jungle! Mark assures us there will be lovely rivers to wash in :S
We've been here for a full week now and it's gone SO fast but you know what they say, time flies when you're having fun!
This will be the last time you hear from us for a week now so until then bye! x
