Hi there,

I made it over to Siem Reap by a six hour bus ride. Siem Reap appears to be a nice place. It may be too touristy for me. I’m coming from a place where there are few tourists and I prefer to be with the local people, rather than other travellers. I will wait and see.

It was hard leaving the Centre for Children’s Happiness. I’ve decided that I will return to CCH, when my volunteer placements in finished here is Siem Reap. I think it’s going to be hard to get me to leave that place for my return to Canada. CCH is organizing a mobile library to visit the dump and spend time reading with the children right in the landfill. I’m hoping to take part in that mobile library trip. I would like to see visit some of those children that I met at the dump on my previous trips.

I’m making plans to visit a number of humanitarian projects in Siem Reap. I will keep you updated.

Love Gerry

PS: I’m behind in my blogs. I will write you about our incredible two day trip to the beach and our day in the Cambodia country side. I also want to tell you about my journey to the Killing Fields.
