So, you'd never see trucks full of children in the U.S. However, this is one of many examples of how creatively Cambodians use transportation. Seriously, the things that people fit onto motos or in trucks can be amazing.
We had a total of 300 children come for the day. At first I wondered where they would all fit, but it turned out not to be a problem. For many of them it was their first time in the city of Phnom Penh and their excitement was catching! Their smiles and cheers kept the energy high all day.
The volunteer teachers had planned a full day, complete with porfamances, dancing, competitions and games. Below, young girls prepare to perform the traditional Khmer blessing dance. It was really beautiful to see my students take on the role of teachers. Passing on both their knowledge and talents to younger Khmers.
I helped out my students wherever I could during the day. At one point (after teaching the Macarena to teachers and kids) I found myself blowing-up hundreds of balloons. By the time we finished, my cheeks were aching. However, the game for the children was a huge success!

By the end of the day, I was exhausted. We'd all worked non-stop throughout the day. Some of my students looked like they were ready to drop. However, it was a great feeling to have spent the day with these children. I was completely exerted and fully content. As we piled the kids back on their trucks to head home, the shouts of goodbye brought the whole neighborhood peeking outside to watch the kids depart.
