We have 8 children waiting to come most of them girls. One family was referred to us because they where on the news. When you make the news here for being poor that’s pretty bad.
Here are a few pictures of the property. Ream out walking the garden.
Are cucumbers did really well this year.

A very kind team from Australia came and spent some time with us. It was pretty hot out but they where good sports and played with the children.
Children playing tug a war. Hua with a nice big smile.
This game is like Steal the Bacon instead of 2 children I put 4 in it was quite fun.
Then we had races to the candy bucket. One candy 2 buckets to make it fare on the slow children. Some times the fast children get there first but choose the wrong bucket. Melor kept picking the same small child to race but each time he got there first he chose the wrong bucket and Tee ended up winning. It got pretty funny after a while.

Some new snakes one I think is a boa and I am not sure of the other, but they call it a house snake. It is about the only snake the people can stand. It eats the mice and is left to live.
Our children’s church at CCF again raised some funds for us. It is really quite the blessing for us. This time it was to help fund the summer activities or VBS (vacation bible school).
Activities listed for this summer:
Dance class, learning the harvest dance.
Weaving class, learning to make bath mats.
Art classes, learning perspective, shading, and depth.
Music theory
Guitar class for some
Violin class for some
More farming and building education. Introducing goats, chickens, geese, guinea fowl, composting and waste management.
Classes at local NGO agriculture center.
Bible classes and activities
Field trips to the beach, an ancient temple in the middle of the river, the zoo and Angkor Wat for some.
Team interaction
We are really pushing some our children that are two or more grades behind to catch up like Ve Chi. He was used for labor with the last family he was with. He is turning 14 this year and just finished 2nd grade. His second grade level was more like Kindergarten or first grade. He does not know anything. I think he does not like school because he is in class with children half his age. Anyway we are pushing him to not only repeat the second grade but advance. We told him where ever grade he is competent in by the time school starts that is where he will be. So he is doing his best. He has learned his alphabet and to read and write. He might make 2nd grade now, so will are pushing Math now. We would love to start him in 4th or more but I think that is really pushing it.
Ve Chi could use your prayers as he studies he gets head aches a lot. I told him he is exercising a muscle he has not used before so it is going to hurt. :)
I like it when the children are out of school we have more fun and they learn more. Their time is well spent all day. I know they are enjoying themselves as well.
I want to tell everyone that we are trying too get a calendar out this year to support the work here and to be aware of it coming out to you can buy from us and give to you friends and family. If it goes well we will do one every year. The price should be around $10 which is cheaper than most.
I will let you know when it is out and where to order it. I will also post a preview of the pictures the will be in it.
Also we are scheduled to get a satellite Internet so my posting will increase in the future.I know things have gotten stale at this page and I can only apologize but we are busy and have not gotten into town really this month. If you email us at Kitandream@gmail.com and let us know we will put you on an alert for when we do post a blog so you do not waste time going our place for nothing
