Friday....final day at New Hope :(

This morning i said goodbye to 3 of the girls from oz, strange really as you feel as if you have known some of the people you meet for a very long time. 3 of the oz girls are still in siem reap and went out with them this morning for a foot massage, was lovely and as usual was more than foot massage as they did shoulders and back at same time - 3dollars for half an hour and the girls were fab! will miss this life...in some ways.
went to new hope in afternoon, felt weird knowing it was my last time doing the journey there in tuk tuk. it was rice collection day today so lots of people in the school getting rice, sauces etc for the month. amount of rice and money etc they got varied on whether they were sponsored family, size of family etc. was very interesting and actually felt like kind of thing you would watch on tv for children in need etc. cannot imagine how it must feel to have to rely on this donations etc from people for basic necessity such as food. once again though. the people here are amazing and very very grateful for anything you can give them.
Boy with the burns was back in today and i redressed his wounds, really hope they dont get worse over khmer new year. told him if they do happen to get worse to go back to hospital and we can sort something out for him. however, he states that the hospital will do nothing. hoping that because i taught his sister how to do it yesterday she will do it and things will improve.
Left the project shortly before 5pm and very very strange walking out the gate for the last time :( you get really attached to the place and will miss every minute of it. great people here doing a fantastic job.......
went out for dinner this evening with a couple of girls from globalteers and then went for a few drinks and home to bed it is.....
