Still in Siem Reap!

The past few days have been a blast! We have visited a few temples like Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat. They were both really amazing to see. The carvings in the walls of the temples here are magnificent! One of the temples involved a lot of climbing and though I am scared of heights I knew it would be worth it to go to the top! Along with going to a temple each day we have also gone to the village everyday. We have been trying to help out as much as we can. We started by filling malaria pools with dirt and teaching them how to play with Lego's. We also bought them a sewing machine and a new door for there bathroom. We had people come out to test there drinking water to see if it is okay but we are still waiting for the results. We have each built strong bonds with the children through playing games such as volleyball, Frisbee, and hop scotch. Its amazing now much you can communicate with people who don't speak your language! We are having lots of fun here and will keep the updates coming!
