We started the day with a welcomed sleep in and breakfast at the hotel (cappuccino and all). A few hearts were broken (Caz) when we found out that the bamboo train was temporarily out of service (due to construction of a major road) and we would have to jump back in the van to travel to Sroloav Village. However, for the Cambodian people, this means that a new highway is being built which will aid in improving the access to these communities.
On arrival to Sroloav (a new village for CWC) the team had to traverse across a mud-built bridge with our clinic supplies to reach the community hall.
We were soon set up and ready to go. The morning continued at a steady pace, with the team seeing around 250 people, and as usual we saw lots of beautiful children, including Tina who stole our hearts!
A welcomed break was then taken in the beautiful gazebo by the hall. Lunch was provided by one of our beautiful interpreters, Socheat. Noodles, rice and chicken and lots of beautiful fruit were on the menu!
Following lunch, we continued to see a small number of families, and then packed up for an well deserved early mark and afternoon off.
When we arrived back to the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to find Bianca's bag had made its way back to us! Thank you again to Socheat for organising its safe return!
Various members of the team then took the opportunity to go shopping in the local markets, while others took the opportunity to relax at the hotel.
We then ventured into the city to enjoy and delicious dinner at The Lonely Tree Cafe. This cafe was an interesting place as it is apart of an not-for-profit organisation that employs and provides assistance to disabled individuals throughout Cambodia. They sold a number of handcrafted clothes, jewellery and ceramics, which were irresistible to most of our team members!
All in all another beautiful day spent in Cambodia!
