Keen to learn, rain or shine!

So we seem to talk about the rain a lot, but that's because it rains a lot! Here are our students wading into school last week during some heavy floods, and this was after the water had gone down a few inches. Still we are happy to have such eager students!

Roll up your trousers and wade on through - the water in
some parts are knee deep!

Rain? What rain?! The girls heading home with a smile on their face and
shoes in their hands

Rain, rain, rain it falls down

September and October is the rainiest part of the year for Cambodia, and it seems this year will be no different. We still get our fair share of sun but in the afternoons we often witness a downpour that lasts a couple of hours.

The noise is deafening and teachers have to shout for their class to hear them - one of the downsides of having a classroom outdoors. After the rain the air is a bit less humid but the temperature returns to its usual heat. The first rule of Cambodia must be "always carry a raincoat"!

Unfortunately some roads and fields don't handle the heavy rain so well, so you have to wade through with the rain up to your knees and in some cases your waist.

Road or river? You can't tell!
