VALENTINES DAY MEANS DRAWING BOOK DAY AT COSO!

Thanks to good friend & brother Ian Young, who declined receiving a souvenier from Thailand/Cambodia enabling the purchase of materials for the Orphanage in his honour. On Valentines Day each child received their own drawing book, a pencil, and a heart shaped pencil sharpener. 70 children stood in line patiently waiting for their VERY OWN drawing supplies! As I've said before, just a sheet of unused paper is a treasure here.  It is difficult to fully describe the level of poverty in Cambodia, but I will try - not today, though.  Today was a very special day and a nice way for us to celebrate Valentines Day!

I was having difficulty remembering the names of all the children here at the Orphanage. Tracey Bell (who is ONE smart cookie) suggested that Chan Thol, our tuktuk driver, write the English version of the name of each child on the front of the drawing book. I then snapped a photo of the child with the book. Now I have a handy reference! It is getting much easier to assign a name of a face. Here are some photos, not all, just a handful.  For those of you wanting to see the face of every child here at Cambodian Orphan Save Organization, you're welcome to visit my facebook page.  For even more photos, go to http://www.cosocambodia.org/
