If someone said “It’s hot” yesterday, they were in for a shock!

A buffet breakfast and a debrief later, we all met our Tuk Tuk drivers, a.k.a our chauffeurs for the rest of the day. We began our trip to the Killing Fields after seeing more of the beautiful country. We arrived and split off as we discovered and listened to the events that took place in the Killing Fields. I think it’s fair to say that we were all quite mind blown and shocked at what had taken place there, however it was definitely worth visiting!

Soon we were off to Daughters of Cambodia, our lunch stop. Daughters of Cambodia is an organisation that rescues women from the Sex Trafficking industry and teaches them sewing and restaurant skills to be able to support themselves. It was a beautiful meal and even more beautiful knowing that these incredible women now have the opportunity of a better life.

Back in the Tuk Tuks and onto the markets. To say it was hot would be a complete understatement but nonetheless, we enjoyed. A few of us tried our hand at bartering and managed to pick up a few good deals!

We moved onto the Nupic feeding program. The program was founded and run by Pastor Nupic and his wife Ravi. I went in thinking we would stand behind a truck and hand out food. The events that followed left me feeling completely blessed and touched. Approximately 70 Kids arrived and it was (somewhat organised) chaos. They wanted to play, cuddle, have piggyback rides and get to know us. It was truly amazing how much love these kids had to give. We all bonded and connected with them so well and the feeling was incredible. These kids have so much joy and happiness with the little that they have and they left the entire group feeling such warmth. Pastor Nupick blessed us and shared his story, He and his wife are beautiful and giving people and taught us to be happy with what we have and trust in the Lord’s plan. With a day like today, I am excited to see what’s in store for tomorrow!
