"Keep your face always towards the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you"


Since the day I arrived at the orphanage, those kids are all I think about. Now that I have left them, I think about them every moment of every second of every day. It's an incredible feeling knowing that they will never forget me, and that I will never forget them either because we all have bonded so much, that the force between us, no matter how far apart we are, is unbreakable.

Children's Global Alliance was the real first organization that came to CPO with students. This made it very life-changing and an irreplaceable trip for me. This also benefited and impacted the children at CPO majorly because we actually became extremely close to one another, and taught them what love feels like. This is something extraordinarily hard to teach someone that has never known what it is, but that is what we came here for. I sure hope they will not forget me, because the last thing that I would ever do is forget them. They really made an impact on my life and I know that that impact will stay within me for an infinite amount of time.

I now know what the feeling is of leaving someone you are in love with, and it's not easy.
 I don't want to always think about how I left them, but on how we brightened their lives in the time that we were here, and how they lightened mine.
I do and always will love those children to the point where my heart aches. That is how attached I am to them.

Right now I'm in Angkor Wat which was once one of the 7 wonders of the world, but is now one of the 11. Today was an amazing day because we got to learn about their culture religions, significance in these temples and much more. Everything here is truly amazing, just like in Phnom Penh.

We have a long and tiring day tomorrow because it's the day that we leave Cambodia for the states again. I cannot believe that this trip has so rapidly blazed by!

See you all soon, and thank you for your support, I could not have done it without you.

Share. The. Love.
