Cambodia Photos: Day 5

Hope you enjoyed that video! Here we go, day five pictures WAY overdue. Muchos apologies. Exams, school, blahblahlazyblahblah. Yes now on with the pictures. (Note to self: be more selective! I edited this post so often just to do that.) Most of them will be of children again, because the only times I really got to take photos was during recess or when I had a bit of spare time during activities.

Here're kids from my primary 3 class. The mischievous looking one at the top is Joseph. The little monkey in the centre is Pitou! He doesn't like taking photos much, so this is a rare one that is actually clear. Even then he isn't looking directly at the camera but well...I can't remember what the other names are...it's been a while. I need to go refer to that list... And this photo needs cropping.


The three...


...um, FOUR musketeers! They're so cute with their identical haircuts and the heights at a gradient...

These two are very photogenic and enjoy taking photos very much. The one on the left is from the orphanage, and the one on the right has amazingly bright eyes. The size of this photo doesn't do them much justice, but as you can see, they are really Cambodian angels.

Wait for it...wait for it...that's right, I got their names...L-R: Savuth (sa-VOOT), Somnang, Joseph! YESS. Haha. Cute kids.



This girl...I'm not sure what her name is because she isn't in my class...but she is from the orphanage too, and whenever I take photos of her she never smiles. That is, unless she's playing with the other children. Which is a little sad...you wonder what her childhood must have been like.


A primary five boy, if I'm not wrong. He was taking me around the schoolyard so I could take photos and I got this nice one. It looks like he's peering right through an invisible window. Actually he was holding on to a hanging rope. Friendly chap.


Happy kids!


They specially posed in a bunch for me to take this...

Mei Sugaya (daughter of a Japanese missionary) and Ouk Ratama, from the primary 3 class. Really sweet girls.

This photo just says: =X

The little clique from the primary 3 class...and a friend in the background who was making funny faces in the camera...I wonder if she knew I captured her in it too...Anyway. This was just before the art lesson when we got them to make themed drawings.


I don't know what this pose is supposed to be, but it looks like some WWE thing that these kids were into...at least that was the impression I got. Nevertheless, you can tell that they are vibrant spirits.


Another pose in front of the water pump (now apparently unused).

The drawing class! Two themes: "My Best Friend" and "My House". Plenty of creativity here, as you can see Joseph and Piakedey (pronounced pii-kuh-dai) did a joint drawing! You can't tell from the photos but these are really detailed drawings. (And behind you can see the recorder fingering chart that we used to teach them to play the recorder...)

And this is Phanit (fa-nit), from my sister's class, after school. He looks a little worried here, maybe it's because he knows it's almost the last day that we're going to teach them. This was the last chance I had to take so many candid photos of the children.

Well, that's all for today, and you know there's always more coming soon!
