Cambodia or BUST!

Ok guys, here's the deal! Tomorrow morning (Sunday the 5th) our DTS team is leaving for Cambodia! We'll be gone for two weeks. The first week will be spent in Phnom Penh and the second will be in Siem Reap. Our main focus while we're there will be to teach English and reach out to the youth of Cambodia. I don't know how familiar everyone is with Cambodia but in the 1970s there was a mass killing during a social reform by the Khmer Rouge that left almost 2 million people dead. The effects of that time are still seen everywhere in Cambodia, which is often referred to as the "Fatherless Country". So obviously, there's a lot of healing and learning that needs to happen there! Keep us all in your prayers while we're there. There's been a lot of sickness going around our group lately. Right now, I'm fighting a cold and both of my eyes are slightly infected. There are other girls with colds and flu-like symptoms. Also, swine flu has reached Bangkok! To leave you with a postivie note, here's a group picture of all of us with our speakers from our week 4 lecture:
