A recap of our days

Posted by Emily
I realize through the past few days everyone has been BLOGGING about the genocide Museum and the killing feilds and at first i wasn't ready but now i feel i am. I have been really questioning humanity and people. How could anyone do this? How could you just shoot someone with out any feeling? In a sense of physical characteristics the Khmer Rougue Regime were humans but in a emotional moral sence they weren't. That is all i have to say i can't really put my feelings into words.
Here is a recap of our days. Wensday night we went to a nice resturant for dinner.

Thursday we went to Cambodia Mine Action Center (CMAC)
Friday (Today) Was really fun. First we went on a boat down the Mea Kong river and got to sit on the roof. It was really fun and we saw a lot of cool things and pretty senery. than we saw Clar paths vocational training center where us last year 6th graders raised money for. It was really interesting to see who our donations helped. Than we went on a very bummpy bus ride to see a graduates michanic shop. then we took really cool speed boats back down th Mea kong and that brimgs me here.
Oh yeah i lied in my last blog we do have internet access here!
Please write me comments! Hope to hear from you soon!

    Emily, I feel the exact same way. I'm glad we went through it together, we can't forget the past. I can't put it in words either.

    Emily,
    Hang in there. You are doing a wonderful job taking all of this in and being a great representative for the seventh graders. It does take time for the moments to sink in.

    Hi Emily: You did a fine job putting your feelings into words. We are so fortunate in the lives that we live - we have great families & live in safe places.
    I showed your dancing photo to my students - they thought you were cute & were amazed by your groups' activities.
    Love to you, Ben & your dad.
