The school so far!
* Well the school is not finished yet. It is scheduled to be completed at the end of February. We will show you the progress for sure. The volunteers have all gone home. If you get the chance to meet a volunteer on this trip ask them how they felt about it. I'm sure you will enjoy their story.

Some Photos from the project
* In this photo Claire and Mitch and Dean sit patiently during a ceremony that marked the Victory on Genocide Day, January 7th.
* Kent and Toly carry large rocks on make-shift stretchers. The rocks will be used to fill up the floor before it is smashed down and smoothed out with cement.
*Working on the construction site can be extremely tiring, especially when the temperature reaches 35degrees and more! Here some volunteers lay on a pile of gravel for a well earned rest.
* Lucy and Pete sit in the back of a ute as they travel to the village.
* During the project volunteers have the opportunity to explore Cambodia. Here two volunteers watch a sunrise along the lakes near the Angkor ruins. Its pretty spectacular.
