We just finished our second day at Unit 512. This community is located 1 hour and 20 minutes north of the city of Sisophon.
We spent two days with the kids and their families in this community. They were loving and full of adventure. After we did our crafts, sports, and English lessons, we all sat around the watering hole in the community for several hours and watched a bunch of naked little boys swim and play games with two members of our team, Bryce and Dave. (No one else on our team wanted to take the risk of getting in this water. We're smart!) Each of the boys took turns getting thrown into the water. They loved it! But I think that their parents enjoyed it even more seeing their kids get thrown into the water. This was by far one of the highlights of my time here!
It seemed that the relationships here came easier. Perhaps adventure and fun are deep connectors of our souls; a universal language. And as Bryce has so cleverly pointed out to our team, "I feel that I was more connected with this group of kids...perhaps it was because I was swimming with a group of naked little boys." So this community has taught us about "Enjoyment."
I also wanted to pass along another website to check out for this trip. Adam, our team leader has also been posting about the trip. Check out his website at http://www.longschronicles.blogspot.com/.
I miss you all. Take care!
