Getting going

Things are still going well here in Siem Reap! We checked out the night market last night, which was a blast. A couple people have been feeling a little sick (only one puker so far!), but today everyone is doing much better. We're adjusting to a diet of Khmer food for 2 meals a day, which is harder for some than others ;). Today we are doing observations of the classes that we will be teaching for the next couple of weeks, starting tomorrow!

We just met with a girl named Grace who worked at the Raffa House, a home for girls out of the brothels similar to White Doves, and talked to her about what sort of work we could do there. Their director met with us the other day but we didn't get a lot of direction, so it was good to hear from Grace. We'll be teaching some hygiene, as well as doing some music/dance stuff with them mixed in with basic English and Bible.

My weird English has come out full force...the team gets a kick out of the way I speak slowly, clearly, and without contractions while I'm here, even with the team haha. That's all for now!
