After a surprise trip to town, I decided I should update and let you all know what turned out with the accident. ....
All three boys were taken to the hospital and released with no major injuries or even broken bones...mircale of all miracles. They were also rewarded $3,000 by the insurance company to pay for their moto....which in reality can now buy them each one! :)
And on a random note....I thought I would share 2 rather funny tidbits about American history that I have gotten in arguements with my students over. Whoever wrote the history books for Cambodian high school curriculum decided that America has 52 states and that Abraham Lincoln was our first president. While funny....imagine standing infront of a class and announcing there are 50 states in the US only to have your students errupt in laughter and say "no teacher....there are 52!!!" Then you stand there wondering if there are 50 or 52. So frustrating. I had to confirm with another volunteer that there actually are only 50 states! haha Apparently everyone is having the same problem!
Okay....all for now!

Absolutely funny!!! I'm sure someone from Cambodia could come here and something similar would happen. Great story! :)
