Village Christmas


Still backtracking a bit with good news from December... on the 22nd we travelled to the remote village of Duk ahn Doang, Kampong Speu province to visit the little one room school house where 40 children eagerly awaited our arrival. We started off with a special Christmas lunch of "Pate Baguette" sandwiches, a local favorite, salad, juice and fresh fruit. This was followed by a song and poetry presentation by the children. We then presented a flannelgraph story of the first Christmas...a special feature for Christmas each year. Fun games followed and then distribution of gift bags for each child. Besides the gift packs we brought 4 kites for the children to share. As we left the village, groups of children wearing their pink caps were happily flying their kites!
