Youth Camp
We spent the majority of the Cambodia Missions team looking after and running
the youth camp with Ben and Cherie Ministries. We were given the
opportunity to teach English lessons, take the children to the beach and run
praise and worship.

The Beach...
The Sihanoukville beach I went to
On the Friday of our first week at Cambodia we had the opportunity to take the youth group to the beach. This was both a blessing and a curse, it was a blessing because most of these children had never been to the beach and we got to see the excitement and joy on their faces. It was a curse because none of the children could swim and it was our (The Australian missions team) responsibility to keep them alive. This was a daunting task as we had to make sure all of the children were safe and in their depths. However despite the added pressure we had a marvellous time. We played in the waves, built sandcastles, had a sand fight and rode the banana boat. It was amazing just to see who enthusiastic and joyful the children were, for the very thing we take for granted...the beach.
