I was hoping to bring some of you some PLF shirts but alas, it is not to be this time.
I really am going to have to come back, cause I already have a souvenir list for next time! Among the items would definitely be a pair of silk pajamas, as fashion here in Cambodia is such that pajamas are perfectly acceptable in the daytime hours - at the market, the shop, the temple. Whatever!
Lori said once that she knew it was time to head home to the States for a bit when she went out for breakfast in her pjs!
It's been an amazing 3 weeks, but I don't consider this venture completely over. There is a couple in Canada that are going to start a Canadian chapter of the foundation, and I chatted to them while they were here about how I could help.
I'm sure I will also end up back here sometime - maybe next year, maybe not for a few years, but if the fates allow it, I do want to come back.
This country is changing everyday - and I think that differences will be noticeable after any time away - long or short. There is so much to be done here - things that we can help with - like getting more and more kids an education and improving that education - and things that we can't, like the political situation and foreign investing.
It's been a fascinating 3 weeks, and I know I will miss the schools, the kids and the people of the guesthouse so very much. I will definitely miss 5 year old Alice, who is sitting on my knee right now.
See you all soon! Here's hoping for no flight delays and no lost luggage!
Love,
J.
