Yesterday afternoon I met with Heather, the Volunteer Coordinator at Daughters. We talked about the plans she had for me over the next four weeks and she gave me a tour of the Daughters Centre and introduced me to many staff and volunteers. Beginning tomorrow I will be teaching a workshop on finances and visiting the different Daughters operations to observe and provide input into their POS system. The last week that I am here I will also teach a workshop on alcohol abuse and the day before I leave I have been asked to give the message at their weekly church service. I am deeply honored to have been asked to do that.
The last two mornings I have gone for runs on the streets around the Russian Market near where I am staying. The roads here are very uneven and dirty, plus there are "Motos" (motor scooters) buzzing all around so it makes for an interesting run. Yesterday I found a coffee shop that serves really great coffee and has a very peaceful atmosphere. I am planning to go back today. Last night I had dinner with some of my housemates: 3 Australians - Lacey, Christy, and Mary; and Christina from the US.
My new profile picture on this blog is a picture of where I am staying in Cambodia.
