Rich and Ronda Dolan

January 7th was  National Genocide Day.  In the past, we have taken students to Toul Sleng, which is the high school that Pol Pot took over and used as a prison camp during the Khmer Rouge between 1974-1979. But this year, since some of our older students have already been to Toul Sleng, we decided to go to the zoo.   Here is part of the group with Rich mimicking the poses of our girl students.  The zoo is small but it was nice just to get out and walk around in the woods (instead of the usual concrete streets).   This is the place we gathered for lunch.  You are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks, so Navy prepared food for us. This is: Eang, Vatana, Rich, Neath (pronounced 'Nite') and Phorn (pronounced 'Poan') Lymeng (who will be graduating on January 31st), Ratana, Piset, and Rotha (pronounced 'Rota') Mony (busy eating), Sraynu, Savy, and Neera Sokray, Khai, Samathe, and Seyha At the zoo, there are monkeys everywhere. Which is all fine...

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas.  And we pray that this year draws you closer to God. On Saturday, December 27, we took all our students as well as Sokha (our cook), Khemrin, Navy and their daughter, Nakhin to a buffet for Christmas dinner.   Alex and Kira Mills from Batesville, AR, left some money that we used for this.  As well as Greg Fleming from Midland, TX.  Believe me, they were appreciative!!   We booked a private room so that they could sing karaoke.  Not really Rich and my thing, but they had a good time. We were teasing Sraynu about the pile of seafood shells that she had stacked beside her plate.  She is tiny! This is one of the tables. And this is the other table. Again, they loved it!  Thank you for your prayers for these students and the school.  And, of course, thank you also for your continued financial support. Khemrin gave his final in the book of Luke yesterday, December 31st.  He has been teaching Lu...
