1 day left to my Cambodia adventure

I am super excited as you can imagine! The last 24 hours and last controls are done…

I had asked all my friends and collegues in Shanghai to give me just ONE PRESENT that can fit in my backpack for the kids in Cambodia and attach a personal note to it. Most of them were pretty excited. The project got so big that even one of my friends who is a children books writer told me that he wanted to give 500 books. I was like OMG! Friends of my friends were reaching me and askign tones of questions and sending their gifts to me. As the project was getting bigger and bigger, I sent an email to airlines company that I am going to fly with to help me with the luggages, but of course in China it is hard. I couldn’t hear from them but that’s fine. I managed to get all the presents from my friends for the kids in Cambodia as of today…

Here are some of my friends who contributed in my

“Backpacking For A Good Cause” Project

My collegues(1 to 4 pictures left to right), my lovely student Sharon (in the middle-in the second row), the owner of the notebook store that I buy hand-made notebooks(the last picture in the second row).

Some of my friends who could fit in the frame brought their lovely presents for the kids…

And Edan giving me a lovely skateboard for the kids. The kids will be crazy about it. I need to get one for myself too, it will be easier in Shanghai streets as well…
