Day 6 was the busiest and most rewarding day in Cambodia. Our main objective for this trip was to build the houses for the tabitha foundation. We succeeded with no major casualties. We drove vans 45 minutes south of Phnom penh. When we reached the village, we saw the families and houses in poor condition. In total we completed six houses. Although it was hard work, we enjoyed being there to see the villagers who were so excited to have us and to have their new houses. Everyone worked very well together and we got the houses done in record timing. However, we did have lots of help from villagers especially hammering the nails. Even the children pitched in. Our lunch was interesting, there were no knives, no ham, no lettuce thanks to your responsible children and last night bloggers. In the end, there was tuna, cheese, chips and vegemite, a delightful combination.
We each gave the blankets to the chosen families and they were very happy. Since we finished early, we got to visit an extra local market where we participated in some old ladies jazzercise routine to funky chinese techno. Lucy and Hannah seemed to have co ordination problems but the rest of us stole the show. For the dinner, we went to FCC and the food was amazing. While we were having dinner, we saw the over sized lizard on the wall. All in all a very good day !
