It was three days of non-stop singing, dancing, and adventure with my new little munchkins. Child sponsorship is one of many outlets Siam-Care dedicates itself to. This youth camp was specifically for children who receive financial support from individuals overseas. They participated in activities on sexual health, child protection, and learned some important life-skills.

We bussed about three hours from the city to a great spot, far from the hustle and bustle we left behind. I’m exhausted, so the pictures will have to do the speaking.

 

Dance, dance, DANCE! I was afraid we were going to fall through the bamboo…

This picture doesn’t do justice, but I’m pretty sure my camp days weren’t filled with assorted seafood, baskets of fresh fish, and endless crab… the food was am-az-za-zing.

After lunch, the guys felt macho and bombed off the hut.

So this was pretty much the coolest activity – EVER! We went out to plant trees… in a mud swamp!

This is someone’s joooob! So crazy.

The mud you’re lookin at is the same goo we spend hundreds of dollars on at home in the spas. Ha.

We had so much fun!!!

Rinse off before dinner.

Such a great time with these amazing kids, and as always, my awesome coworkers. I learn so much from everyone.

Off to Cambodia for the week… please pray for safety. Happy ALMOST weekend!
