Dear Roth,
Fred is in Vancouver, Canada and Jane is in Wheaton, Illinois, USA, but our hearts are still in Cambodia. It was just five days ago that we said "Goodbye" to you!
Thank you so very much for making our trip so wonderfully memorable and rewarding. Without you, we and ETC could not give the opportunity of education to those children at Bansay Trieng and Poy Rong Som schools. We were very glad to meet the school administrators, teachers and students and to gain insight into the huge needs of the children and schools.
Seeing Kosal and his family again was a very special day; we're so glad you talked to his mother about making education a part of his future. Our visit to the school near Kosal's village was a highlight of our wonderful trip; seeing those lovely children and their teacher again! I'll be sending you the photos of that day so that next time you are in the Kompong Thom area you could drop off the photos to the school and Kosul's family.
Thank you for the gift; we like it very much and we will be hanging it on our dining room wall. We will give Prem his gift from you and we will share with him/ETC the photos and our wonderful memories of our Cambodia trip when we see him later in the springtime.
With fondness and gratitude,
Jane and Fred |
