So, this is going to be a brief note. But I just wanted to add some pictures. The month of August was a wonderful break from the hot of Svay Rieng. Did some traveling around the Cambodia coast jetting out to Rabbit Island and enjoyed the amazing seafood. Venturing further up to Bokor Mtn. where we were put through the rinse cycle and felt coldness for the first time in a long while. After a breif stint in Phnom Penh we took off to Malaysia to hike Mt. Kinabalu and enjoy Kaula Lumpur for the last week before our meetings commenced back here in Cambodia.
Now, we are enduring two weeks of USAID powerpoints and valuable monitoring, reporting and evaluating information. The best is that we are finally making connections with the many NGOs in Phnom Penh. Many projects are being planned and teaching curriculum/schedules are in full swing. I am really excited to go back to site and start the school year charged with all these new ideas.
