In Kampong Cham, we helped to give out rice, sugar and salt to the poor and the needy. They are living in poverty, houses without walls to keep the cold away. I wonder where did they keep their valuables. We are really a bunch of fortunate and blessed people to have a proper house to stay.

These were the two places (Ampil Church and Prekpor Church) where 16 of us slept with our own sleeping bags, when at Kampong Cham. I noticed that most of the houses are built high, guess is to counter flood that does happen in the land. Don't you think our bases give a rustic resort feel. But minus the nice toilet facilities and electricity you can get in a rustic resort.

While travelling to a remote village where our tuk tuk couldn't bring us in due to the muddy road condition, we had to trek an hour through the 'small forest' and plantation. It was a worthwhile trek because we were greeted with hidden nature beauty of Cambodia.We were surprised to see beautiful river and caulifower plantation. The children on the opposite band were waiting enthusiastically for us to cross the river. They were so friendly and cheerful. I was touched by their hospitality.

When at Ampil Church, this was one of the R&R we managed to have in between our tight schedules. We have to be careful not to slip as we walked down the slope to get onto the sampan to cross the river to the opposite side of the river. Over the other side of the river band were plantation.

Prekpor Church was surrounded by sugar cane plantation and padi fields. We managed to have a short R&R to the plantations before dinner. It was my first time walking through these plantations and seeing sunset in the midst of the plantation. What a treat!
