Alright week five of my time in Cambodia has meant a time to relax and do thing that I really enjoy, as there is a major festival which in known as the Water Festival and most the people in this nation travel to Phnom Phen where it is held, therefore we are on holidays also. For myself I have spent the first half of the week, exercising, chilling in my room with my books, bible and DVD’s. Although the last half of this week I went the same place as almost every other Cambodian I went to Phnom Phen, not with the same purpose as them I went with Narain who in head of the Community Care Projects for Heartland in Cambodia (she had a meeting with some people from another Province).

As you can imagine traffic was insane, there were people everywhere. (shown in photos above – and it was worst then it looks) Narain and I ended up stuck in a restaurant for around 3 hour because it was not safe in the crowd; people were pushing and shoving with NO consideration to anyone else and people got badly hurt.

Praise God we got home safely, apart from the moto burn on the inside of my leg.

A side note from all that is happening here in Cambodia for those that don’t know or just don’t realise Cambodia uses US currency, so as a result of the current market situation with the Australian dollar it has made life financial rather changeling for all NGO’s in particular volunteers like myself. The situation has gotten so bad for some Organisation that they have had to close their door and can no-longer support or give relief to people who need it. I am so thankful that I serve a God that is bigger than the financial market situation; in addition to that the contributions, prayer and good will of people like you provide me with the inspiration, resources and energy to continue my work.
