When International Women's Day was approaching, some of the staff proposed a one-day outing to the beach at Kampong Som in the south of Cambodia. The staff concurred and a bus was hired for the 3½-hour drive. It was the first time our staff had an outing together like this, and now they are asking for another.
The terrain along the coast of Cambodia in the south
Cambodia has miles of nearly empty coastline
The staff went swimming at one beach and later rode the bus to this other beach
All the staff except for four were able to take part in this outing
Srey Touch, the houseparent for our hostel, prepared all the food
The beach and eating together were worth the eight hours on the bus
