Nicole, Sydney University OT student in Cambodia



Everything is going better than great!
Really enjoying the placement and have developed a lovely relationship with the kids. Actually working wth 5 kids. Doing everything therapy from learning to walk, dressing, hand strength and coordination, eating, handwriting, visual perception and gross motor. The staff there are really really lovely, very helpful and extremely keen to learn which is fantastic.
The 2nd project is going heaps well too! Think I've crossed off close to 15 guesthouses/hotels assessments and will get on top of the joyful report writing over the next few days :) It's exciting how interested and open most of the accommodation places have been-(it appears no one has any knowledge on this area.) especially the 5star places that are keen to make some structural changes. It's then going to be really good when it all goes up on Jo and Tom's travel website so tourists can make informed choices before they get here.

Jo and Tom (in country agents) are wonderful!!
It's been great to meet the other volunteers-I feel a bit of a local showing them the ropes.
Myself, Chiara and Tania all went to Angkor wat on Sat - up to see the sunrise and saw a few of the major temples- also went to the Landmine Museum which was very interesting and then Bantey Srey temple. I went to the Silk farm yesterday, was very interesting!

We have had some bid down pours the last 2 days-besides that I'm surprised how little rain there as been.
Hope all is well in Australia-I was shocked when I heard we had a new PM...I have heard very little international news over here.
