We went sight seeing around Siem Reap, like temples (Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom, Etc) and we also went to meet children and teenagers who go and study from Savong School and Savong Orphan Centre.

This is their webpage!
Savong here is giving free education for rural children in Cambodia.
We went to teach and we also went to help them build their new study which few of Savong's top students would be moving to, so they can also attend to Siem Reap's University.
In the orphanage i met a lot of kids who are so adorable and hyper, but moreover i enjoyed talking to the teenagers in SOC. They talked to me about their life story, the really bad struggles they faced and their dream, what they want to do in the future. All of them are so eager to learn and learn more everyday. And i wish i can support them all with their studies.
All of my friends really enjoyed the trip and i am really glad i made a lot of friends in Cambodia.
The 3, unforgettable people in SOC are: Kadeb, Kim San and Pom Sen.
I was literally dead on my last day with them.
I met Kim San one year ago and i was so surprised to see such a eager learner. When i met her this year, her English improved a lot, she no longer has to walk around with a dictionary.
I also met Kadeb last year, though we didn't talk much last year, he still remembered me from last year! This time on my last day he wrote me a sweet letter which i have kept safely in a box with other memorable things from this trip.
I only met Sen for the first time this year and we hardly spent anytime together because either one of us was busy when the other was free :P He is such a sweet guy i really miss him already. He also wrote me a letter, with a drawing and some paper craft he made. I was really glad i met him.
I really love these three so much, and i always wish them good luck and all their best in their studies.
(Meeting everyone in SOC)
Right now i know that Kadeb and Sen are at the beach with Steph and her family.
Sen told me a bit about Steph, and already i think she and her family are really great people, looking at some of the photos from their on going trip really made me jealous :p

I wish one day i can go back to Cambodia again with my friends and also meet Steph's family there and together meet the children in SOC.
I miss them so much and i can't wait for that they to come true!
(My best friend Afeq, like a daddy to them )
This was the most magical trip i have ever been to by far!Hope people can help support Savong School and Savong Orphanage!
