Cambodian New Year holiday has started.
The angel of the year of wild pig comes down and takes place with the angel of the year of dog. People go back to their hometown, and Phnom Penh is quiet.
We visited our foster children in Takeo before New Year. Children were looking forward to a New Year gift, so we prepared a gift bag for everybody.
The main gift was a stylish notebook.
Cambodian children grade 1 to 12 are usually using a specific type of notebook at schools. However we’ve got a report that those notebooks can be prepared from the financial support from their foster parents, and so as a gift this time we chose something they have little chance to purchase in the life.
They may not use this at school, but outside of school they can write their schedule or diary or anything else. The feeling that they want to use the notebook or to write something would expand the range of their life. And it would help make a habit for children to write, we hope.
In addition, we put a multi-colored ballpoint pen, and hand towels, handkerchief, hair accessories etc that were donated by individuals.
