Finally in Siem Reap

After a month of planning, we finally stepped foot onto Siem Reap.

The past 3 days have been really fulfilling, and honestly, tiring. Yesterday, we visited the village of Taom, some 2.5 hours' drive away from the city. The road was bumpy for a whole an hour and a half, and when we finally came back at 6pm, we were drained. Some of us have begun to fall ill, but doing all we can to get better - downing Vitamin C, drinking lots of water and getting rest as and when we can.

We end of each day with a reflection, where each of us will share our thoughts and feelings for the day. And through it, we learn more about the things we've taken for granted - our health, a shelter over our heads, a chance of being educated, a job to sustain us and the close friends around us.

We hope that as you reflect on our trip, you too will take some time this Christmas season to think about how you can share your gifts and talents with the less fortunate around you.
