Supporters’ Visit

A Wonderful Day

Libby McCann, our Fundraising Secretary, along with Diana White, Ray and Nathan Mundy, Pauline Rice, Tom Wilkins and Rae Biggart visited KH during January and took the children and staff for a day’s outing. Below is Libby’s report.

We met the children at the office at 9am and they were so pleased to see us and greeted us in traditional Khmer. They were all proudly dressed in their KH T shirts. Then it was off to visit the temples at Angkor Thom in our mini vans for the morning. There were 44 of us including children and staff. The children climbed with great ease as some of us struggled to encounter such small steps at a great height! Somewhat short of terrifying!!

After morning tea on the lake we headed into Siem Reap to "The Red Pizza" for lunch. Here the children all had a marvelous time not only indulging in pizza and drinks but continuous play in this fabulous indoor playground where all the children interacted with each other throwing foam balls and sliding together with great joy. The afternoon was completed by going off to the Cultural Village which the children really enjoyed as they had never had the opportunity of visiting this place before. We saw a typical Khmer Wedding and Chinese celebration. The children loved this experience not to mention the ice cream of course!!

A very special thank-you to our wonderful friends from Melbourne for providing the children with a day to be long remembered.
