I’m so exhausted and I have a class at 9am tmrw but I’m so glad I spent the evening with my yep mates even though it was just a simple dinner at the market and poking fun at the turkey 🙂 I feel so at ease whenever I’m with them!
& earlier on at the meeting, we were handed a surprise and guess what they were?

Letters from our dearest Cambodian youth volunteers! (From the top: Vannak my brother ❤, 8 o’ clock and Khamra! I’ll introduce them to you in my next post.)
We were so touched to receive their handwritten letters, I mean how long have you not received a snail mail huh?! They wrote the mails in english even though they aren’t good with the language but they tried their best and made an effort for us. Very touched! 🙂
Funniest thing happened when I opened 8 o’ clock’s letter, guess what I found inside!
100 riel! 😀
Haha, 1 usd = 4000 riel so you can go and figure how much 100 riel is worth! He didn’t mention anyth about the money in the letter so I’ve absolutely no idea why he gave it to me. I’d just have to assume it’s my monthly allowance from cambodia! 😀
I’d really have to ask him what is it for, scarly he accidentally slot it inside the envelope haha!
Anyway, mine wasn’t the funniest thing. He even gave yongling his passport photo! Haha, he is just so adorable. He also spelled our names as yony ling, yi hany and tiny yuan! If you look closer at the envelopes, you’d be able to see that 🙂
I’m so happy to receive the mails, to know that I’m still remembered. Esp Khamra, I’ve never expected a letter from him bc we only talked and had fun on the last two days. & I’m holding my brother Vannak’s letter in the picture bc I want to show off his beautiful handwriting to you guys 🙂 His english is the best among all of them and he is very sweet, heh. & check out their envelopes, how cute are they!
We’re going to write back to them and send pictures for them as keepsakes, can’t wait! Imagine us flipping through the pictures countless times when we miss them, but when they think of us they have nothing to look at and most of them can’t even contact us. Their simple act made me feel so blessed, I hope something/someone made your day too! Have a goodnight! ❤
