Run Cambodia
On Friday November 5, Elissa, Bernie, Megan, Piers and Rachel came to Run Cambodia.
In some ways their trip was similar to itineraries arranged for other short term teams. They visited historical and cultural venues in Phnom Penh to understand the context. They learnt a few survival phrases. They met with some of my team mates in the City and visited development projects. In addition, they ran! They ran the riverfront and the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh. They ran Siem Reap and along the Thai border in Poipet. Just when I thought they were done running, the team asked if they could train once more.... so we got up before dawn and ran the Highway. Finally, the Run Cambodia crew ran the Pursat River Run on November 14.
Through their efforts, this Brisbane team were able to raise $4000 towards our sports projects in Poipet. Amazing! Thanks Elissa, Bernie, Megan, Piers and Rachel for your mighty efforts training, fundraising, traveling and preparing. Thanks for running with and for Cambodians. I hope that Run Cambodia was a valuable exposure trip... with a good dose of fun! Thanks too for all those who supported the team with financial donations. We're shopping for about $1000 worth of soccer equipment next week. Woo hoo!
