Nothing

 Some one sent me something interesting:-

 Dear Lord,

I pray for : Wisdom, to understand a man;  Love, to forgive him and; patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for strength, I will just beat him to death!

Another one :-

- Sure, marriage can be fun some of the time, trouble is, you're married all the time.

- It's time to do some stuff around the house..... sit around it, walk around it and lie around it.

We are in our kitchen now, Su Feng and Kim are back from their holiday.  The house is full of laughter, noise and happiness.

Su Feng is sharing her story of what she did in Melacca, the conversation is very meaningful and interesting. I sometimes wonder why she is this way, her mum must be very proud of her.

Now, it is Kim's turn to share her holiday in China, now both of them realized what have they learned here are so useful and meaningful and they are taking whatever they learn back to their communities.


Where are all the students? Far far away.......

Mr. Sondha  was a refugee who left Cambodia in the70's and became an Australian. He came back to Cambodia after his retirement. We went to a village which is far away from Battambang to donate some books to the school. The journey took us more than two hour both way.  
It was a school day but not even one student or teacher could be seen because it was the time for harvesting Mung Beans, All of them have gone to harvest. According to the Principle, this happen all the time, they will come back to teach and study when the season is over. But the harvest is all year round, after mung beans, then corn, then paddies..... and then what?
An empty classroom!
And an empty toilet.
She was the only student who was too small to go and harvest.
another empty classroom.
