Ready to fly!!!




Hi Kids, Time is a wastin'


Leaving tonight for Cambodia. Will be working with an NGO there called TLC (the lake clinic).




Their thrust is maternal-child health but they see everyone. I will be going out on boat either 3 or 4 days each week to villages along the perimeter of the Tonle Sap Lake or to actual floating villages . These folks are pretty poor and don't have very good access to care so this group goes to them. If someone needs hospitalization the closest spot would be Siem Reap. Hope to spend some time doing some sight seeing at the Anghor (sp?) Wat temple area as well as possibly a side trip to Bangkok, Thailand , if time permits.


At this time -the rainy season- it has been pretty dry there so it may get interesting-boats get stuck, etc..We'll see.


Supposedly there is Wi Fi access in Siem Reap so I hope to be able to blog from there at least on weekends. Doubt much blogging on the lake.


Anyway comment as you may if I write something real goofy.


Next stop---CAMBODIA!!!! jerry
P.S. Photos above from Last years Kenya/ Tanzania trip (kind of Mat/ child health oriented-don't you think?? The one on the right just happens to be favorite of mine . they make jewelry (bracelets) out of those hairs!!!!
