6 Months!

Greetings from Siem Reap! Sorry for the long delay in a new post, but life has been busy and blogs have been last on the list of my "to-dos." :)

This week marks 6 months out of the country for me. At times it is hard to believe it has been so long already. Some days it feels like I came only yesterday....other days, however, I feel everyone of the approximately 180 days I have been here. As with life in general, there are good days and bad days. Thankfully, more good than bad.

Over school break, I have been keeping busy running an English club 4 days a week and also teaching English classes 2 days a week at a local orphanage. My students are always keeping me on my toes with their questions and I have been busy pouring over grammar books, songs, and English games to play with my kids.

I have also been staying busy on the weekends! Every Friday I travel into town to work at the Angkor Children's Hospital. I am working with a Cambodian woman who is the play therapist at the hospital. We do arts and crafts, play games, and bring toys around to all the kids at their beds. The hospital is free for all children and is completely full to overunning right now due to a dengue epidemic. This is a rewarding way to spend the weekend and I am loving it!

I wish there was more to post, but life has settled into a rather nice pace. I'm happy and loving my time here still. Next months entry promises to be more exciting as my trip to Malaysia is coming up very soon! I hope things at home are well for everyone! Miss and love you all!
