Great hair day

The village hairdresser is returning!

After three years of being bedridden with terrible buttock sores and a rotten foot, then six months in Phnom Penh (half the time with us; half in hospital), Srourn is returning home. Donnie's offsider, Sothea, is on the road with him as I write.

Srourn heading out with Sothea. That is as much left leg as he has now. Standing to the left is Sreymom, our new carer. I'll get to that good story sometime ...

For Srourn, this is a very, very big day. His life is filled with living hope. He speaks with joy about returning to work as a hairdresser and the excitement of knowing that he has a good future. I look at this great guy and I'm just so glad that we get to share in the joy of this all. Susie and I are happy campers!

Wow, so amazing to see Srourn even sitting up let alone going home. After seeing his rear end as it was this is so great.
How is Ren getting on? Is Yay still at home or has she come back? Such a lovely old lady - I'll never forget that toothless grin - she was priceless.

We are still looking at coming back later on in the year so hopefully there will be stuff for us to get our teeth into.

Blessings to you both.
