I miss the kids :(


Now that photos are starting to appear on fb, looking at the faces of these children makes me miss them so much. Poor siewmai hiding there.

This is siewmai (Hagao's friend)
Srey Neang - the girl that made me cry because of the mature things she said that did hit reality.
One thing i discover when I was there is knowing that some of the clothes we donate, be it to salvation army or whatsoever, do really end up in the hands of children in the less developed country. When I was there, I saw a few children wearing old uniforms - ACSI, some random Kindergarten ones...

These children are hardy, appreciative, mature. Qualities that I should learn from.
& as for why Srey Neang makes me cry...she told me she loves me and she knows we need to leave and go home, but she hopes I won't forget her and think of her. That's just the concise version. I was sad because I know its all true - coming back there is close to unlikely...

She is the only Cambodian kid I managed to pray with together. That's how special she is to me. Luckily, I have the full name of a few kids and their grade, so I shall write letters soon and hopefully it reaches them, either via standard mail or just mail to the team project coordinator (who's a Singaporean)
