Climbed up the eucalyptus trees to get a better picture of the building.
Last family photo we took does not include the 5 new children yet.
Class time teaching English. Our tables are almost full and we are looking at getting some desks made.
After the dentist the group of children that had not gotten into trouble last month got to go for some fun. They got to see the boats practicing for the big race and go for some bumper cars.
Nyng learned to hold on tight.
The children are doing great in school we got their numbers the other day.
2 are number 1 in their class
1 is number 2
2 are number 3
3 are number 4
2 are top ten
3 are top 20
2 are top 45 because they are new in the school.
7 are unknown, little ones do not get placement.
Ve Chi is the 14 year old in 3rd grade who did not know his alphabet studied all summer to catch up to his grade and is now number 4 in class.
Rachana went from #39 to #9.
We are so very proud the effort they are putting out.
Our Rabbits are producing every month now and the piglets are going to sell soon.
We have all the staff working finally. We are set for the rest of the year and that is a good feeling.

From the roof

I like to sit on the roof some times and keep a good eye on what is going on. When you have a lot to look after the best way is up high.

Srey Own, Srey Nune and Kyo collecting grass for the goats.
Wut, watches the goats today so they do not eat to much from the trees.
Wut tells our 5 and 6 year old that dad is on the roof taking picture. On the left is Srey On, Weed , Com Ly and Wut.
Ra stops by for a visit he is learning a lot of hard lessons this year and we hope it is only refining him for his future work. He will probably replace Pastor Khon in the future and he needs prayer for strength and wisdom. He is wonderful with the children.
District Chief comes for a visit and tells us what a good job and beautiful place that we have. He says when he gave the approval to build he had no idea what it would be or the good that it would do. We are thankful to him and Ream's uncle for keeping the flies off of us; they will not allow groups to nag us for fees and bribes that are not real.

We have 23 children as of now and plan to accept more next year. We will be in the states from December 30 to Jan 15. If you are wanting to meet with use please let us know in advance.
