Ping Pong Party

Simon performing a song he wrote in Khmer.. after less than a month in the country! (He won the crowd over with sophisticated lyrics such as 'I like rice.. I want to eat rice.. Have you eaten rice yet?!')
No hint of stage-fright when these girls got up to sing!
A drama based on the Good Samaritan story.
A short speech from Coach Chanty!
'Hengaroo' leading games.

I learned another new 'cool' English phrase to use for an informal closing ceremony or finals event: a 'stop party'.

Last weekend we held a small stop party for the twenty kids who have been playing ping pong every Saturday afternoon. For these guys, the important thing doesn't seem to be the activity. They just enjoy being together, playing and learning. I enjoyed being a guest at their event.

    Thanks Pip- Good to hear about what is going on for you. You are indeed a hard core runner- hope you achieve your lofty goals. Your running group sounds pretty classic. God bless you and grace as you learn to live a lifestyle of praise- grace and peace from Marcus
