Scenes from the week


Anna is taking good care of Daniel! Here they are walking onto the church property. The building on the left is where the male students sleep, and behind Anna is the driveway and gate.


Sophorn sorts dry seeds from a papaya, because she wants to plant some more papaya trees in her backyard.


Daniel discovers that he likes papaya!


This is the "dining hall" and kitchen at the PATC/Church.

This is the store down the street where Kris tried to buy a coke. He told them he wanted a "Coca-cola" but they did not understand. So later, Sophorn explained to us that we needed to say "Coke - ahh, Cole - ahh" with our mouths open when we make the "ahh" (pronounced with a short a sound). Funny to us that it makes such a difference!


Sophorn is crushing lemon grass and other spices for some soup. This bench is her work table for chopping meat and slicing vegetables, and behind her is the counter with a gas cook top and a sink. This is her outdoor kitchen! It is much more Western than other Khmer kitchens.


The PATC students are all smiles with the kids, always engaging them and trying to get them to talk. This is a blessing to us, as it helps the kids to feel welcomed here.
