Second week in Cambodia...
This week I have experienced quite a bit of Cambodian culture and NGO culture in Cambodia. I participated in the Chab Dai partner meeting on Thursday and Friday, which was wonderful. I connected with a lot of the NGOs in the area and met a bunch of people within the organizations. One of the directors of one of the ministries is actually moving out to Hillsboro, Oregon in a month. I hope to connect with him and his family a little better here and then meet up with them when I go home too.
The other activity I participated in was The Rubbish Project. It was the “trash-to-fash” fashion show I mentioned earlier. It took place on Friday night and the place was packed. It was fun to pretend to be a model for a night. The whole event was way out of my comfort zone—I’m not really a ‘party’ person or a person who likes large groups of people in any way shape or form. I also don’t like all the attention on me, so it was quite a stretch. It was a good experience though. When else am I going to be able to say that I modeled in a fashion show?

Who says that watching hours and hours of America's Top Model doesn't pay off? While you are beautiful, I would not consider quitting my day job :)!
