This Cambodia trip, which is close to an end now has been truly amazing. Every day at Light of Hope has opened my eyes to experience the most beautiful kids on this planet.

Today, Joel and I taught two classes throughout the day. After being at light of hope for 4 days, the kids have become really comfortable and teaching today was challenging. Excited to teach Year 7 & 8 in the morning, we walked into the classroom ready to go. There weren't many kids at first but they all eventually turned up. It also seemed like they were still on a sugar high from the bags of marshmallows they ate on Sunday night. They were talking, screaming, getting up and just standing at the door, even asking to go to the toilet but never coming back to class. Trying to teach was (not joking) a bit of a nightmare. The only way they eventually listened to us was when Joel had enough and told everyone to sit down and be quiet for 3 minutes. They were sitting in silence, no talking to anyone and no games. They all looked really shocked but it was the only way we could get them to listen.

It was a very tough day to be teaching - so tiring! If all classes are like that, I'm not going to become a teacher. It wasn't all bad though, I love the kids so much and even though they were tough today, it breaks my heart knowing we are leaving them soon. They are the the most kind, sweet and loving kids I've ever met. I feel at home with them, as if I've known them my whole life.
