Latest fieldtrip adventures...

In the last few months life has been busy at AP.  See some photos below for a look at our most recent fieldtrips. 

In May everyone piled into a van and we headed out to Takeo to make new friends with the children from 'A Greater Hope Orphanage'.  We all enjoyed some fresh air and greenery with a day of sports, games and relaxation.

Last weekend everyone was excited to zoom down waterslides and jump off flying foxes into the water, with a trip to a water park outside of Phnom Penh.  It was a day of fun in the sun! 

Lani Warsh

Lani Warsh arrived in Phnom Penh in January 2010. She took on an Intern role with AP for four months. As the first in this role she did a fantastic job at implementing our Community Outreach program and building strong relationships with the families of AP residents. She started some great networking with other organisations and NGO's to interlink with AP and our families. She also opened up the worlds of our intermediate students in English class by teaching them about different people and cultures around the world. Lani was a caring and dedicated volunteer who worked at AP with energy and enthusiasm to make things the best they could be, and who could always be spotted zooming around Phnom Penh on her bright red 'pizza-delivering' bicycle!

Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie volunteered at Aziza's Place from October 2009 until January 2010. She brought energy and creativity to AP and to her E2 classes with projects like the gingerbread house creations seen earlier in the blog. With the help of her Mom, she also ingeniously managed to bring snow to Cambodia. That's impressive! Stephanie had the opportunity to do some further traveling around Asia from which she has many stories to share. She was last seen heading towards her next stop in India, before eventually heading home to San Francisco.

Fun and games these holidays

All we want for Christmas is some snow!  

You may think that snowfall in Cambodia is quite an unlikely phenomenon.  But anything is possible at AP! Snow-day proved to be a hit, including a snowball fight and of course some dancing around the Christmas tree! 

Snow, glorious snow!

 Snowball fight!

And a giant Christmas tree!
