Moments of Project Happy Feet

We are back from our trip! For the next few blogs, I will post up the many photos that we took during our journey. Pictures say a thousand words. We brought back with us many precious memories and we hope we did bring cheers to the kids and youths in Siem Reap.
These children are from the Peak Sneg village. There are currently 170 households with close to 1000 population. The current play centre was built in 2006 with donations from Singapore.
Here we are, trying our hands at balloon sculpting and entertaining the children.

The children proudly waving the balloon creations and having lots of fun.
Deborah trying her hand at cooking under the hot sun. She is frying garlic and spring onions which would be added to the rice soup that would be served to the children.

Terence, under the guidance of the ladies from the village, trying to dice the spring onions.

The rice soup program takes place once or twice a week, depending on the village. The children will be served with rice soup which is a concoction of rice cooked in chicken broth, mixed with pumkin, dried shrimps, dried cuttlefish, garlic and spring onions. It is yummy!

After a delicious meal of rice soup, the children will line up to collect the slippers that we bought. We bought a mixture of sizes and hope that each children receiving the slippers would be able to wear the slippers comfortably.

At the end of each visit, we hope the children had enjoyed themselves just as we enjoyed bring cheers to them.
