Today we visited the Missionaries of Charity Orphanage in Phnom Penh. This is a place for very toung children (pre-school age). Students had the opportunity to cuddle and play with the children. Our students brought along toys, cricket bats and soccer balls for the older children.
The students' fundraising also provided ten 50kg bags of rice which will be used to help feed the children as well as support dozens of poor families who live nearby. The fundraising was also able to provide almost $300 to help the sisters in their charity work.

The students were very affected by the visit. While we were there we met a 21 year old British student from aid institution Project Abroad who was just beginning her month long stay in the orphanage to help with occupational therapy.
We then headed back to the hotel for some lunch and final packing and then off to Phnom Penh airport to begin the long trip home.
