Today was our last day in the capital. We spent the morning at the Destiny office. We helped make teaching materials for the Learning Centre. We were able to contribute money toward the purchase of homes for some of the slum dwellers. I also purchased 100 small butterflies, made by the rescue girls, which I planned to sell when I got home to raise money to purchase a washing machine for the Learning Centre. (I have since sold all the butterflies, and raised enough to buy two washing machines, one for the learning centre and one for the child care centre.)After lunch, (a western roast dinner cooked by an Australian who trains rescue girls to both run the restaurant as well as a hairdressing and beauty therapy school) we headed to the bus as we travelled to Kampong Cham.
The bus was old and rattly and took a couple of hours. We got to Kampong Cham at dusk and checked in to a great motel. After the Phnom Penh guesthouse it was a palace.
We went for an evening walk along the river bought a meal and crashed.
