After a very bouncy 5 1/2 hour bus ride from Battambang we arrived safely Phnom Penh. We spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening down at the waterfront of the Mekong River and having dinner.

Below are some pictures of our day yesterday.

Saying good-bye to BB6 kids. Jenna's soccer team had donated a bunch of their old soccer clothes and we gave most of the to this home. They were all way to big but the kids loved them!

BB2 good-byes.....this was the view from the front seat of the van. At all the homes as the kids would tell us good-bye they also said "God bless you", " I will pray for you", I love you". The kids would run after the van for as long as they could.

This little girl is from BB3 and she needs your prayers. At first Sherrod thought she might have a hearing problem because she seldom talks. After talking to her for a while it turns out that she is very afraid of loud noises and crowds, her father used to beat her before she came to Asia's Hope and who knows what else has happened to her.

Hand washing station at our restaurant at lunch, this was actually better than most!

Fun with BB1,4 and 5 in the pavilion. In the background you can see Sherrod trying to conduct a medical clinic in the middle of the non-stop action that happens when you put approximately 100 kids and some balls in the same place.

BB4 kids.

Each one of the 6 orphan homes in Battambang has it's own unique personality, just like a family would. The older kids help look after the younger ones and everyone seems to work so well together. I am so impressed with the work that the orphan home directors are doing, they have truly created a family for these kids. We got to see Kevin and Jill Kane on Sunday and Kevin was telling us how what we were seeing on Sunday was not being done as a "show" for us, this was the way they worship each week. He has also been able to observe the homes many times as they come regularly to help the kids with English, he commented that they are always this happy and don't behave any differently when the teams come to visit. Please pray for these directors, they have sacrificed alot to lead a family of 20-40 kids, I wonder how many of us would be willing to do that.
