10 days, no blogging - many apologies. Many excuses too - but to all of you, we pray God's best blessings upon your life for this coming year.
We have been trotting along at a bit of a pace lately - caring for the pre-school by week and the Sozo Childrens Home by weekend. Additionally, we have the joy of Kiwis Andrew and Ruth Smith arrive on Sunday. Andrew and Ruth are key folk in the remarkable Bethlehem Christian College, a school of 1300+ ranging from grades 1-12 and a further 400 students in tertiary training (teachers, pre-school teachers and Christian counselling).

Andrew and Ruth Smith at the brekkie table. Yes, we have vegemite!
Yesterday was spent introducing Andrew and Ruth to Marion at Cambodian Harvest (blog on her still to come - Marion has a jam/dried fruit factory that employs land-mine amputees), Bophal at Centre of Peace and our Hagar girls. Hagar has multiple high-profile trafficed girls cases on the go at this time, including a horrible case with an American man. Then it was off to church for the evening meeting. This morning we packed them into a taxi for 3 days in Kep - lots more lined up upon their return, including a day with World Vision to meet their sponsored child.
The pre-school is giving us a lot of really valuable experience in working with Khmyer staff. It is going very well really, but wherever there are people, there will be issues! We are so fortunate to have this opportunity through January. The hunt is still on for the manager ... and we are talking with Bophal (Centre of Peace orphanage) about getting a bunch of her little kids to come and play on grass and in sand some afternoons this week. Her eyes just lit up!!
OK - what happens is that when stuff gets busy .... language suffers. Not good! Hi ho hi ho ...

Dear Kim and Sue,
We like to send you greetings from a cold and grey/foggy Holland. Right now I am waiting for a next class Erika is enjoying the job she applied for from Cambodia. We wish both of you all the best for 2008.
Regards,
Erika and Machiel
