"It was an emotional visit to the Wat Thmei orphanage in Cambodia.
Our students were amazed at the conditions these children lived in, as well as the basic conditions of the school and lack of resources. I think they were all pleased to be able to contribute to the school, as the Cambodian children were so enthusiastic about their education.
Our students were quite overwhelmed, and really enjoyed playing with the children and handing out presents brought from home such as books.
Additionally, with the assistance of Footprints we were also able to purchase a second hand computer and three class desks. While our original aim was for school furniture, the school teachers saw a greater need for a computer which would assist the students with learning new skills and in the long term, enable them to find employment easier"
