A four hour bus ride to the ocean this morning.
Today was the first time in a week that we saw a Westerner that wasn’t part of our group. He asked me what organization we were with. I had to respond that we weren’t part of any organization, just a group of around 50 people from Indonesia, Australia, China, Brunei, Singapore, the US, and Cambodia getting together to provide medical care for the orphans and poor people of Cambodia. He didn’t understand how we could do this, he doesn’t know Dr. Victor Koh!
Because of persecution by the communists in China and the Muslims in Brunei, it is best to not be real specific as to our activities today. Mainly, 57 people from the community, including 5 of our dental students chose to “get wet”.
Afterwards, was, you guessed it, another feast. And what else but a seafood feast!
These were the biggest prawns I have seen in my life. Plus the crab; there was good eating for all.
A picture of four of the five students who “got wet” today.
We also learned today that in the wake of the typhoon three weeks ago, people in the Kampong Thom Province were starving because of lack of food. We “passed the hat around” and raised $1200. Enough for 48 50 pound sacks of rice to be purchased and delivered to these people.
