We are the Champions

Monday January 16 Today we got to sleep in a little-on the bus by 9 am for the trip to another school location where  our task was to assemble 110 bicycles. This now pretty much goes like clockwork and in just under 2 hours we were finished! The children ran to join us to watch from the other side of the fence. They will have to wait one more day to receive their bicycles.  We go back there tomorrow afternoon to give those 110 bicycles in one big group distribution fro the Rotary Club of  Gravenhurst.  When we arrived there was very poor quality very loud Cambodian wedding music playing at the farm next to us.  We all clapped when that noise stopped! Naomi said we could never krump to that stuff! Mr Bam stopped by.  He is part of Lisa's network in this part of Cambodia. He is from this village but has studied organic farming methods in Japan for nine months.  Then he brought his knowledge back to his people.  He explained to us that his village is very poor and until Lisa started bringing bicycles here in 2009,students had to walk 6 km to get to primary school and could not get to high school.  Now these bicycles are making it possible for more students to get to school.  He thanked us and asked us to keep coming... This afternoon, Dave and I and Michaela are sitting on our veranda enjoying the breeze and the village sounds. Michaela is letting Dave use her computer so that he can upload pics to our blog. Stay tuned! Posted by Linda
