Party day at new hope for khmer new year

Fab afternoon had by all I think. Had the decorations and everything up. Played loads of games with the kids and did some songs too. Kids got to eat curry and bread which they loved and were looking for more. Myself and the 6 ladies from oz all got a big thank you and a certificate from kerry and kemsour for our help. I got a few wee notes from some of the older kids which was lovely. Have promised them I will come back at some point and don't think it will be a problem keeping the problem. Bought ben 10 outfit for 1 of the wee boys and he had tears when i gave him it which nearly started me off but i managed not to cry :-) the girls from oz had made up a song for new hope and asked me to sing it with them which was nice and the kids loved it. Really going to miss these kids, they are ALL adorable. We did have some flour throwing etc but i was lucky enough to avoid it. haha. caught some of the girls out the back with few small bottles of wine! It happens everywhere i guess.
Spent some time in clinic helping re dress the young lads burns, real shame because its new year and the clinic closes for a week and tracey the nurse is on holidays for 2weeks so have had to show his sister how to clean the burns and dress them. hope they dont get worse over this time.
Also spent some time catching up with Kerry, she is a fab lady and very very busy! Spoke to her about the money I had and she was amazed. Think its decided that money i raised is going to go towards helping improve the classrooms/build a new one and also maybe help the medical clinic as they are moving round in to kerrys house and will need some new equipment.
After school, we went straight into pub street and had a few drinks and dinner at red piano and island bar and then i went to meet tracey at funky monkey for the pub quiz.
