This month in Cambodia, my team and I are at the Cambodian Hope Association, an orphanage in Phnom Penh.  Being the last month of the Race, we were open to doing things a little differently this time, so we were praying about what we should focus on this month.  Rather than focusing primarily on teaching, I personally got the impression along with several of my teammates, that perhaps we should focus on activities and more immediately practical things.  Walking around the property, I noticed that there were a lot of broken bicycles that needed repair.  There were also a lot of other things we noticed that we could address if we just raised a little bit of money.  So, my teammate Chuck set up a fundraising account and we were able to accomplish some really great things this month.

Not only did we get to repair bicycles, we also got to play sports and games and explore some artistic talent as well.  I thought I would be doing most of the bicycle repair, but these kids dove right into it, grabbing wrenches and new bicycle tires and taking things apart faster than I could keep up with it all!  We also had a lot of fun making paper airplanes of all things.  Being a licensed aircraft mechanic, I figured I could show these kids a thing or two about airplanes.  But again, before I knew it, these kids were making aerobatic paper airplanes with adjustable flight surfaces.  I was the one being taught!
Here are some pictures of what we did!
