Sunny days & Starry nights ... Tuesday, October 28, 2014
No, if you had thought that it was with relief that we returned to the comforts of home, you are wrong. Even though our bodies were wearied from weathering days of strenuous work under the relentless sun of Cambodia, our faces were beaming with pride, indescribable. It stemmed from a sweet knowing that we had served a needy community, and sowed seeds of joy to be reaped by the locals. The trench that we jointly dug and bricks that we eagerly transported helped lay the foundation of the toilet which will soon improve the sanitation of the village. The daily lessons of ABCs and financial literacy we painstakingly planned and delivered at the orphanage, I believe too, will go a long way in positioning the upcoming generation of the country advantageously in the long run.
It was almost impossible to believe how deeply scarred a country can be by a history that happened not too long ago, but that was what amplified the meaningfulness of our actions.
Pol Pot, a name stuck in my head, and whose unimaginable atrocities traumatise vicariously still.
& Lazy afternoons ...
8:42 AM :D
Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
