This orphanage is about 12km outside of Siem Reap<\/a> en route to Phnom Phen. \u00a0You can spot it easily from the road as the fence is painted in a rainbow of colours \u2013 The group got together and did a mini shop and I had some left over money from the tipping kitty which my last group had voted should go to the orphanage- we were able to buy some\u00a0 pens, pencils, colouring books, notepads, wipe boards, and washing powder , shampoo and rice. Oh and a few sneaky treats of course as well. At the time of our visit (Feb 13)\u00a0 there were 42 children living at the orphanage, not all of them were orphans as such, \u00a0though each will have their own story. What they all had in common was their big smiles that greeted us, which was a delight to see.<\/p>\n

\"Smiling<\/p>\n

These kids were really well behaved- They sat in their seats and waited their turn and when they did take one, no one tried to sneak 2! I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019d be as respectful- and I mean now! One of the group said the kids all look healthy and the proud response that came back was, “we get three meals a day\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Dorms<\/p>\n

We got a tour of the orphanage, including the dorm rooms- which were very simple but clean and tidy.\u00a0 They have a newly built colourful playground, that I think was supported by volunteers. The director also showed us\u00a0 the shop were the kids have made t- shirts, and hammocks to sell. The group really enjoyed the experience and were glad to have visited and felt productive.<\/p>\n
