Last week I went to Cambodia with my dad, brother and sister we left my mom in Bangkok National Hospital.
The trip there was not too bad, three hours in a van. We had a long wait at the border. We were busy the whole 4 days there visiting some really awesome ministries. I will tell you some of what Cambodian Hope Organization is doing in Cambodia. The first day we visited six schools on a mat that C.H.O. has started. I helped pass out school supplies to the students and the teachers. Kings’ Children’s Center students raised money to buy these and we delivered them to all 6 schools. At the school I also blew up balloons, sang songs like “Father Abraham “ and the “hokey pokey” with all the kids. It was fun and the kids really enjoyed it. The students also preformed songs for us. I took lots of pictures.
The students at the school had very little, just a notebook and a pencil. They had school outside on a tarp. There was a white board but nothing else. There was not even a bathroom. The kids went to school 2 hours a day five days a week. The teacher goes to 4 different schools everyday to teach for 2 hours at each school. The teachers are very dedicated
My favorite thing I saw was the community house. C.H.O. has built this home for Cambodian children that have been in really bad situations across the border in Thailand. The people at C.H.O. work with them, their families and their villages so that they can go home again. While we were there visiting we were able to play a lot with the children. I had a couple girls that stayed by me and we played duck, duck, goose and other games including a banana song I just learned that day.
I really like C.H.O. and what they have done to take care of their people. We were tired, dusty and hot everyday but enjoyed seeing and doing what we did.

I really enjoyed what you shared Meghan. It was well-written. It sounds like the kids really liked you! I know that you made a difference in their lives and they won't soon forget you!
Hi Meghan,
How fun it must have been to sing songs and do the hokey-pokey with the Cambodian children. I'm sure you showed lots of God's love to them. That's really "what it's all about"
Love you all! Grandma Bonnie
