So my time here in Cambodia is at an end, and in just a few hours time I will step on the plane to go home once more: going to one home but leaving another. Over the 4 years I have been involved in NHCC this place has had such a huge impact on me. I have lived with 258 children for the last 4 months, and it hasn’t always been easy, but I have had the greatest time. From sunrise to sunset I am greeted by hugs, smiles, kisses and waves- everywhere I go there is someone who is happy to see me. There are a few children in particular who I am devastated to leave behind, especially when I see the look on their faces when I tell them I am going, but one day I will be back..... one day....
Sokchan: One of the first children I ever met back in 2007- it broke my heart to leave him after that year, and this time is no different.
I love this photo with some of the boys, especially Utdom, who I have my left arm round. One of the nicest children I have ever met.
Nursery and Pre-School
One of my classes. There was a definite love/ hate relationship at times, but in the end we had a ball!
Boeun and Seiha.... another two great boys who I met for the first time this year, and have provided comedy solidly for the last 4 months.
Fiona....Our time with you and the children at NHCC was just short of a week but in that time the experience had such a profound impact on us all from the World Challenge group. I cant imagine how you must be feeling to leave after such a long time. My heart and soul wishes you a happy life and I personmally wish you all the luck in the world for the future.
