First Day in Cambodia

After travelling for about 30 hours we made it to Cambodia at 10:30 am on Saturday the 18th. We got to the hotel had a few minutes to freshen up and then we loaded back in the vans to head out to Place of Rescue. When we got there all of the staff and children were waiting for us in the pavilion. They had prepared a great program for us which included singing, prayer and traditional dancing. They also welcomed us to the stage to sing a song for them. We sang one verse of Jesus Loves the Children. Not bad for no notice. They prepared a traditional Cambodian dinner and then we toured the grounds. Place of Rescue is truly amazing and the work Marie Ens does is inspiring. There are so many adorable children and grannies who were happy and welcomed us with open arms. This was a great way to start the trip. We will put some photos on in a few days - when we are a little less exhausted.
