It started on Christmas Eve, where we started preparing for Christmas with a food shop at the local market. We had to buy enough to feed 300+ kids and adults the next days so we drafted in a few volunteers to help!
That night a few of our students performed in a Christmas Carol Concert, and so put on their red outfits and Apsara dance make-up before heading out to sing and dance their hearts out.
Then on Christmas Day it was all fun and games, starting with football, sack races, pingpong games and beanbag throw. We then had a series of shows from students similar to Cambodia's Got Talent!
Finally on the 26th December we headed to other villages whilst our students were at school. In the villages we handed out Christmas donations including clothes and toys.
