School Camp

Last Month our school held the annual school camps. Year 4,5,6 and 7 all went to the Khmer Village Homestay in Baray Province. Here was an opportunity to experience Khmer culture, eat Khmer food, stay in Khmer style accomodation and contribute to a community. The students enjoyed seeing silk weaving and noodle making, eating freshly made waffles, pony cart transport and driving ox carts. 

 

The older students also participated in community development projects such as paving around village wells and repairing houses.

A highlight for many was visiting the local school, playing games with the children and giving them the gift of a pen each. The excitement of owning a pen was so vivid on the childrens faces and made an impact upon our own students.

Naomi, Nathan and I were all on this camp, (Graham was on an adventure camp with an older group). I would have to say that the visit to Baray and the opportunity to be involved in the ministry there, has been one of the highlights of my time here in Cambodia. 

Please pray for Esther, who established the Khmer Lifestyle Ministy to support the local villages. She does an amazing work and through her homestay and Community Development projects sees God impact the community and visitors alike.
