This morning I went on outreach with the Mith Samlanh staff and a group of beauty students who volunteered to do manicures and pedicures for some mothers in a community where Friends works. It was great to see students, staff and mothers all spending a good time together, as well as some young girls from the community asking the students about their training. They seemed really excited and I bet they will join the Training Center soon!<\/p>\n
While all of this was happening, I sat with a young kid who was looking at one of the books brought by the outreach team. I decided to practice my Khmer, so I start talking with her about the pictures on the book. I show her a picture of an elephant picking fruit from a tree and ask her:
\n– What is this animal?
\n– It’s an elephant!
\n– Yes! and what do elephants eat?
\n– Rice and prahok!<\/p>\n
(For those who aren’t lucky enough to know, prahok is a very tasty fermented fish paste that Cambodians love. So do I… and apparently so do Cambodian elephants!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
