Hundreds of people lined the very narrow streets in this <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">remote village. Best estimation is that 700 people were on site for the grand opening of The Rotary School of Cambodia. It had a festival type of thing going with street venders selling drinks and candy. When I arrived first thing this morning the gates were installed and tent was erected. I was so nervous just thinking about everything that was about to happen. A new beginning for the two villages and 211 kids would recieve a bicycle so they could get to school. At the dedication ceremony I placed a steel plaque with my mother's initials and dedicated the school to her memory and commitment to education. Your mother is your first great teacher. At this time I want thank every single person who bought a bike or donated money for the build. I have a very special soft spot for the extremely special build team who came with me to hand build this school. Bless you all. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoT7HwaRMIQMRH2H6duCa1VADJyw8_8umB1sYwEnP1WoKFVcebt-5BhKA72bnqcRuODWWoVPEZPvv527G6hx6SZvueJ62sBHOTnhX85yTTk4eKVVGZ4MNaj0z6xT2FOsw0oMsQ4fsEAo0/s640/blogger-image-1506462460.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Today the final touches on a mural at the front of the school, the lighting powered by solar panels was installed,the yard got cleaned up by several people and the 2011 bikes were partially assembled. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Tomorrow we will button down the final details. 700 people will attend the opening ceremonies and bike distribution. We had a little party to thank our local building contractor for all their help. I cannot lie that I am a little nervous about the last day. It will be a very emotional day and something the team should be so proud of. It was a very diverse group and we pulled together to step out of our own comfort zones to make it all happen. The support that Maryanne and I have recieved here and at home is so amazing I don't have words for it. The people that stepped up to help in everyway is over the top. I won't bore you with any more of that but tomorrow we need to finish the classroom and install a couple of flag polls. We also need to install a lightning rod that will protect the buildings occupants from a lightning strike during the rainy season. Tomorrows post I am sure will be full of tears of joy and thanks to everyone who helped us along the way. </span><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2kCQt1fZd0I8-fWXRXB_vd_O3GDyV06RT4jUjZj0UvNNhmC2VGYbLuUciI67uj3dVUm0_QZ9v4zfe8Dfvpn5PWzNnGV8XoWjxMIN_WivmkVp0wyImGCOKFz8dqQVWwiNqWgIQ4NrDv5s/s640/blogger-image-1537593455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2kCQt1fZd0I8-fWXRXB_vd_O3GDyV06RT4jUjZj0UvNNhmC2VGYbLuUciI67uj3dVUm0_QZ9v4zfe8Dfvpn5PWzNnGV8XoWjxMIN_WivmkVp0wyImGCOKFz8dqQVWwiNqWgIQ4NrDv5s/s640/blogger-image-1537593455.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU6FT6FQBObxWIYZO9cxFhYVGEuLNRdKIp-B3wgrI44WtGEto3NZIu05sRmG0QGxC1GqpyRHQxV51VPwbx9rChaIzBe8uJFHxg9unn73SeSnbCbEVWh90wwUiwhd-pMJTfOCO_Z7hjzNA/s640/blogger-image-1545397682.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU6FT6FQBObxWIYZO9cxFhYVGEuLNRdKIp-B3wgrI44WtGEto3NZIu05sRmG0QGxC1GqpyRHQxV51VPwbx9rChaIzBe8uJFHxg9unn73SeSnbCbEVWh90wwUiwhd-pMJTfOCO_Z7hjzNA/s640/blogger-image-1545397682.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsBQ4lMkf4W9jWVPX8YCyxgUQX67y7ZQmJjQzpwH_lONt1PwUGMJ9DGl77eV_ueZJN_3MKAfFbx8rrPRpPfubV-u-CXgF2G8rc9Qn73l9Iw50oWA-v3pLG5T5FH6vQeTvtGuP2SQj8QOg/s640/blogger-image--644293324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsBQ4lMkf4W9jWVPX8YCyxgUQX67y7ZQmJjQzpwH_lONt1PwUGMJ9DGl77eV_ueZJN_3MKAfFbx8rrPRpPfubV-u-CXgF2G8rc9Qn73l9Iw50oWA-v3pLG5T5FH6vQeTvtGuP2SQj8QOg/s640/blogger-image--644293324.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIP2NPA1El9A2vtokLR2-e4c1VsiKdo_Mc6iXzBrwH0S7UF06F6BTuci3hOt9CagHB-vBRcQkMT2or_oHFfe7AM_JT-i-fdzj8suec-xQ1EjatUG_S37V94tuR6OqplOvTZ8JYlZ-D0dM/s640/blogger-image--1316758903.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIP2NPA1El9A2vtokLR2-e4c1VsiKdo_Mc6iXzBrwH0S7UF06F6BTuci3hOt9CagHB-vBRcQkMT2or_oHFfe7AM_JT-i-fdzj8suec-xQ1EjatUG_S37V94tuR6OqplOvTZ8JYlZ-D0dM/s640/blogger-image--1316758903.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizi_Tjw5fipeDa1pD88ox0kU5wWn3XsvQcx1H_xinEVqOtbuxqptWe-yBUDPyWVx5fE5bBTOvSTFcAJKuWLj37wRLSn0yRze3SaTpg5N9SqHK_1BZDbeVtxlHX2cFugp-t9lSL_pwCbXw/s640/blogger-image--1908066713.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizi_Tjw5fipeDa1pD88ox0kU5wWn3XsvQcx1H_xinEVqOtbuxqptWe-yBUDPyWVx5fE5bBTOvSTFcAJKuWLj37wRLSn0yRze3SaTpg5N9SqHK_1BZDbeVtxlHX2cFugp-t9lSL_pwCbXw/s640/blogger-image--1908066713.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFg3j6qDQT3sGJnk_LiHPU6VyPHegDfrKntWdCrIUNo65rP0uWQaI2H2gzMCeQXu3iL6hiRniuMXdItyvx2oKkmzfCp820BH7YiJXgoOOtFK7mXSnPZq-GFItLn_6J_oWltwr44AhyphenhyphenhYI/s640/blogger-image-279829940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFg3j6qDQT3sGJnk_LiHPU6VyPHegDfrKntWdCrIUNo65rP0uWQaI2H2gzMCeQXu3iL6hiRniuMXdItyvx2oKkmzfCp820BH7YiJXgoOOtFK7mXSnPZq-GFItLn_6J_oWltwr44AhyphenhyphenhYI/s640/blogger-image-279829940.jpg"></a></div></div></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-76906553404973567902015-01-26T06:41:00.001-08:002015-01-26T06:41:27.693-08:00The reason we are hereWe have been posting with lots about the work on the school. The reason we are here is for the kids and the future they will have. Everyday more and more kids are showing up at site to see what we are doing and to play volleyball. Today a permenat volleyball court was built and it is awesome! These are the types of thing you discover after you emerge yourself in the culture you are trying to help. I told the whole team to bring soccer balls but found the kids playing volleyball instead. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifW5PhR8bv0qKbppviUa0rrOWscN8YfwTxn14t-YNeP07D-7ScyN2vpc-RsupkhPttsuHD87Pbp3qwNVxrrduCnJCbPaAKJynrHEpHqYb4EUIu-qqDK11DK4SkvsEjFTADCCY2YhpwkuY/s640/blogger-image--50903570.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifW5PhR8bv0qKbppviUa0rrOWscN8YfwTxn14t-YNeP07D-7ScyN2vpc-RsupkhPttsuHD87Pbp3qwNVxrrduCnJCbPaAKJynrHEpHqYb4EUIu-qqDK11DK4SkvsEjFTADCCY2YhpwkuY/s640/blogger-image--50903570.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvmqcpXgH2gdqXqvlAcFUSe-b_7Uw3Rn6hBiZ8PMelgYzqEV9U89T-pGnpOBH-hqSROFyBfbVTDRCHZ0slWGsesS9EFQJQ4RXwwBlb5Nb11toc_z0UW-VDI-x9ItZKKuNXaYcC324R9s/s640/blogger-image-1944822586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvmqcpXgH2gdqXqvlAcFUSe-b_7Uw3Rn6hBiZ8PMelgYzqEV9U89T-pGnpOBH-hqSROFyBfbVTDRCHZ0slWGsesS9EFQJQ4RXwwBlb5Nb11toc_z0UW-VDI-x9ItZKKuNXaYcC324R9s/s640/blogger-image-1944822586.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTpw1lU_rxg6bDoiQBYgXs5evtE6aRulRRvHeB2t7l-ik8xp8fQ-68utUD1KsJBog3uZSJBG6KKd8yu4xf5fZ1QaZoLtL941HBm0fEJeGzh9yeVYzM2FYtaePBEdJAxa8QseLrrTP9xus/s640/blogger-image-964549014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTpw1lU_rxg6bDoiQBYgXs5evtE6aRulRRvHeB2t7l-ik8xp8fQ-68utUD1KsJBog3uZSJBG6KKd8yu4xf5fZ1QaZoLtL941HBm0fEJeGzh9yeVYzM2FYtaePBEdJAxa8QseLrrTP9xus/s640/blogger-image-964549014.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uH_23KUF33ebfY-q-WvmX7x2j_1jEx3HZklNsFPwD_rlGSeHrdCxHaIkkmgZa3LA2a2eBgX6sC2EXWJv1rxo0_9uwHznW6g3r-Ip0QLRumZG7PaHxS8i8824kLkrTKhx9b4X0vppb-w/s640/blogger-image--1296314562.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uH_23KUF33ebfY-q-WvmX7x2j_1jEx3HZklNsFPwD_rlGSeHrdCxHaIkkmgZa3LA2a2eBgX6sC2EXWJv1rxo0_9uwHznW6g3r-Ip0QLRumZG7PaHxS8i8824kLkrTKhx9b4X0vppb-w/s640/blogger-image--1296314562.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-5798936615042926322015-01-25T06:13:00.001-08:002015-01-25T06:13:40.379-08:00So little time leftEvery morning when the four vans make the long trip down the very dusty road we are greeted by smiling children who look forward to our arrival. Some of the team take time out to play volley ball with them. It is amazing to watch and I have really come to look forward to the laughter. We got the first coat of paint on the classroom today and got about half the chain link fence up. The plumbing rough in was also completed today. We moved some of the left over building materials and concrete forms to the back of the property for future use and make room for the 700 guests who will attend the opening ceremony. It was Gerry Pilons birthday today and the team took some time at the end of the day to enjoy some cake and a few cold ones. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuZY7UajXe6dbEf2q2GQxSJwsij_JedkRSYs9RIOPjpDfOtCmDbO59impAqDqV72HjY18q6Pe-ZyWnKfTBNqgbQsvzpun_KlpoiZf8Y4keiF208MtAhKkwr9YrxNrxRoW5aJXU6nzwlc/s640/blogger-image--2021915810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuZY7UajXe6dbEf2q2GQxSJwsij_JedkRSYs9RIOPjpDfOtCmDbO59impAqDqV72HjY18q6Pe-ZyWnKfTBNqgbQsvzpun_KlpoiZf8Y4keiF208MtAhKkwr9YrxNrxRoW5aJXU6nzwlc/s640/blogger-image--2021915810.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_YN5qg7kCMlI2_BF9FPU-xpk6X1W3kAAjJQyRq7wAAXNq6gjeWd0EqazuvDsae9Nr-w_rXEeTC5-0sEd_2mBL48_8phMIRH3W0NDSKc71ib2V4W-LIhtkqff50_wC_dTYUcVzUXTl2k/s640/blogger-image-108189765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_YN5qg7kCMlI2_BF9FPU-xpk6X1W3kAAjJQyRq7wAAXNq6gjeWd0EqazuvDsae9Nr-w_rXEeTC5-0sEd_2mBL48_8phMIRH3W0NDSKc71ib2V4W-LIhtkqff50_wC_dTYUcVzUXTl2k/s640/blogger-image-108189765.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnx-_d3i6JYY-zHKLwEbW-PeFvkagHxmcMcVa8Xld1043JqQZs_Zs-4SgNHr566CtWHpFAGlvRzJVE_FAPi0EeoE3Lk_SxHVXGZmTPFauUtYW869xMsYX6APbFJ4g4Rx9zKeb5lAokVs/s640/blogger-image-616516647.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnx-_d3i6JYY-zHKLwEbW-PeFvkagHxmcMcVa8Xld1043JqQZs_Zs-4SgNHr566CtWHpFAGlvRzJVE_FAPi0EeoE3Lk_SxHVXGZmTPFauUtYW869xMsYX6APbFJ4g4Rx9zKeb5lAokVs/s640/blogger-image-616516647.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1oYlRcdtr0VpdLnvsCwFwR55hl3thLwyXJXAP7Hu9wPOT33E-MJ8-E3bftgFDioA6TVIQPeeZqeoKz6GJkHQ0xS6uzRmDxbCe3X1Fz9buDtRKbaD-XvrQR_NZwH8z9B50biLeFOXcYg/s640/blogger-image-1294336215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1oYlRcdtr0VpdLnvsCwFwR55hl3thLwyXJXAP7Hu9wPOT33E-MJ8-E3bftgFDioA6TVIQPeeZqeoKz6GJkHQ0xS6uzRmDxbCe3X1Fz9buDtRKbaD-XvrQR_NZwH8z9B50biLeFOXcYg/s640/blogger-image-1294336215.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxBUcAmgpIh7dxTQIF6_BqlqrQRNIegZZMnEujss2TV2AnZCYMjrFdh8Om8izFT-23cJlHA7STeHTmCrbBhU4JlbDMreMD5DdHm6vIT-su7FT0m4nQHJPT_GDMW2WeD0Oi13onkRB1o0/s640/blogger-image-598721910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxBUcAmgpIh7dxTQIF6_BqlqrQRNIegZZMnEujss2TV2AnZCYMjrFdh8Om8izFT-23cJlHA7STeHTmCrbBhU4JlbDMreMD5DdHm6vIT-su7FT0m4nQHJPT_GDMW2WeD0Oi13onkRB1o0/s640/blogger-image-598721910.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8GF7FR4Vcy7KH9KWr7EZFgxzl-Wha2ds95M-QTXO7sO7BiunmEfd2zT5b8Q-XfRFs_ENtXfgWSYIilBKCjHTd-p8vzEo89yd2DX69Dw9p041B7Nn5tF39cse29Ky468jft8WTaCnf2Q/s640/blogger-image-1449203788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8GF7FR4Vcy7KH9KWr7EZFgxzl-Wha2ds95M-QTXO7sO7BiunmEfd2zT5b8Q-XfRFs_ENtXfgWSYIilBKCjHTd-p8vzEo89yd2DX69Dw9p041B7Nn5tF39cse29Ky468jft8WTaCnf2Q/s640/blogger-image-1449203788.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjDe7a65WcreFB6HtK1O58pMznpheHDD0r-yPN6BEPlzcAtv_bXADBsomeZCVQYKlQEf1by-mDUhqM64zNtZyff4nLZZmH0a1_fYIDCUcjaJao8cW3ejVNaq-1xQkeRjU8SuAbWkodpw/s640/blogger-image--1004542852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjDe7a65WcreFB6HtK1O58pMznpheHDD0r-yPN6BEPlzcAtv_bXADBsomeZCVQYKlQEf1by-mDUhqM64zNtZyff4nLZZmH0a1_fYIDCUcjaJao8cW3ejVNaq-1xQkeRjU8SuAbWkodpw/s640/blogger-image--1004542852.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-62297992182994723702015-01-24T06:30:00.001-08:002015-01-24T06:30:58.255-08:00Team work pays offSo happy today on all we have done so far. The team was joined by 5 new members today to help drive the project home. We we able to put the fist coats of paint on the exterior and a second coat on the fence posts. We ere also able to paint the children's washroom with some matching paint. The interior of the schoolroom was givin a fial parging coat and the floor was poured all by hand mixing. I had the pleasure of joining Steve from Alternate Power International Ltd to instal a new solar system at a local home so that they can have some lighting in the home and power up some other devices. They were kind enough to donate 10 house systems and a system for the school. It was so amazing to see the people recieve these and how it will change their lives. II think the team has worked so hard that we will have an early day tomorrow and enjoy some further bonding time at a new restaurant. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVbutDZYREHdfkatukGLK83IqE_oKBvWdErQHLpE85oxNzA7URGkh9VCQ3aORMqPgwn3aebc-nHau2zpfePd7nNO6-reU3ezMPBOYfp4Pd6vc-fn8byw9sNgTSYcq6-OevWdU3ZklDKc/s640/blogger-image-522163008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVbutDZYREHdfkatukGLK83IqE_oKBvWdErQHLpE85oxNzA7URGkh9VCQ3aORMqPgwn3aebc-nHau2zpfePd7nNO6-reU3ezMPBOYfp4Pd6vc-fn8byw9sNgTSYcq6-OevWdU3ZklDKc/s640/blogger-image-522163008.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVbutDZYREHdfkatukGLK83IqE_oKBvWdErQHLpE85oxNzA7URGkh9VCQ3aORMqPgwn3aebc-nHau2zpfePd7nNO6-reU3ezMPBOYfp4Pd6vc-fn8byw9sNgTSYcq6-OevWdU3ZklDKc/s640/blogger-image-522163008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwhT7mDqrLnU_x9-HCX0QpFpIy8pVFVVEsT_Uqs1o5xLIf3BC1qqp91EkRPV3R2AE5p9vW9_3Oo2-VzywxZgur2tWw7xsUFeAtjXWeM0rufj85xt1DJA0i66IAT5yoLMn4G1SC-qNVgM/s640/blogger-image--1556349001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwhT7mDqrLnU_x9-HCX0QpFpIy8pVFVVEsT_Uqs1o5xLIf3BC1qqp91EkRPV3R2AE5p9vW9_3Oo2-VzywxZgur2tWw7xsUFeAtjXWeM0rufj85xt1DJA0i66IAT5yoLMn4G1SC-qNVgM/s640/blogger-image--1556349001.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfoD2kba5w7k7SlBanltr38pRjKQ3qnFI-xXGwIf-eNcEUlgOYwNPlfuMWH7iY-9q2rTyCB9EVzo_orFMmVt1R13l28lTa9zoDZ0fBUkbfhbfRCHY87wID1cYLn09XjySf75htO57juW4/s640/blogger-image--298193373.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfoD2kba5w7k7SlBanltr38pRjKQ3qnFI-xXGwIf-eNcEUlgOYwNPlfuMWH7iY-9q2rTyCB9EVzo_orFMmVt1R13l28lTa9zoDZ0fBUkbfhbfRCHY87wID1cYLn09XjySf75htO57juW4/s640/blogger-image--298193373.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpEjzqCWcSXIsGcCnyUy04lV3jcD7n-7YopQ4cRVjOeUBPo4satImkS0WzhsAGnwDUBXTA12dWPfJWmliGCrg32HtQWu-0L1vJISA4MtFkkWZIKSf6MTTz1WA8n98nEV2vO2q2MLcNLDU/s640/blogger-image--128725943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpEjzqCWcSXIsGcCnyUy04lV3jcD7n-7YopQ4cRVjOeUBPo4satImkS0WzhsAGnwDUBXTA12dWPfJWmliGCrg32HtQWu-0L1vJISA4MtFkkWZIKSf6MTTz1WA8n98nEV2vO2q2MLcNLDU/s640/blogger-image--128725943.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8DW_aZtf1YPui2jh242VlJhAseAXwTWiY-sZuyrvlQrmVI4_iwP1KcuCtJlwujUyiptqY51izm0lmBR-Ym7dEEKxaQu0dO6h39SgkvDKsz8dWYVMouqXfBWTSXb2uQmbj8CyQr-fDqg/s640/blogger-image--2024787160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8DW_aZtf1YPui2jh242VlJhAseAXwTWiY-sZuyrvlQrmVI4_iwP1KcuCtJlwujUyiptqY51izm0lmBR-Ym7dEEKxaQu0dO6h39SgkvDKsz8dWYVMouqXfBWTSXb2uQmbj8CyQr-fDqg/s640/blogger-image--2024787160.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsIp8LdXE9A3mOWGpu0QSJR6CrTBG64CJHwQ-rMsWw3hY0SRlTgSkMTazR14hYp3wR5ncL-G_Ew4O0u1zyAYBWOqjsGAVZMGUGBDUXEutxBh2tLd-lz5G4wCbE_CtIgm76Q5dKx8v7mM/s640/blogger-image-1343864413.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsIp8LdXE9A3mOWGpu0QSJR6CrTBG64CJHwQ-rMsWw3hY0SRlTgSkMTazR14hYp3wR5ncL-G_Ew4O0u1zyAYBWOqjsGAVZMGUGBDUXEutxBh2tLd-lz5G4wCbE_CtIgm76Q5dKx8v7mM/s640/blogger-image-1343864413.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-23093667002089800742015-01-23T03:37:00.001-08:002015-01-23T03:37:45.544-08:00We are in the groove.Things are going well. Communication is difficult so lots of things get lost in translation. Our local builders are used to working their own schedule and not the one I have. I have team on a mission to complete certain segments and nothing will stop us. The fence posts got painted today for a first coat. Looks amazing in our rotary colours. Final parging of the exterior was done today and with any luck we will parge the classroom tomorrow. Installed the septic tank lids with insane amounts of lifting. Everything here is done by hand, machinery is non existent. The team enjoys a beverage or two at the end of our work day. We usually just crack out a case of beer on the steps of the hotel. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1uZi8WrEHx4-NtFDcd9Dxx2nXCSxDmDhm_inm3UVgwPZeiZvnOalFgcIK6TVG091hdkGkiJsdUQi2NG1-VMVzE1mGcLIy1Kunxjp4MnrzSnkdMg5OgoQB7OQ5swIc9UOSsqn9VDoB98U/s640/blogger-image-613878443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1uZi8WrEHx4-NtFDcd9Dxx2nXCSxDmDhm_inm3UVgwPZeiZvnOalFgcIK6TVG091hdkGkiJsdUQi2NG1-VMVzE1mGcLIy1Kunxjp4MnrzSnkdMg5OgoQB7OQ5swIc9UOSsqn9VDoB98U/s640/blogger-image-613878443.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYGW64_osLSzdrLzLs97gQySwvy21MORWbxKvXypbp_GE6RkIwpiyWfseG8leVkUYlSPHhyPySyKIEAaVUtO279JgmLnZcPMl9-rYLWCvRwkeLQuOZ5O3UK4RAIoJ9Qi1qBcwhnTlcc4Y/s640/blogger-image-2060448580.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYGW64_osLSzdrLzLs97gQySwvy21MORWbxKvXypbp_GE6RkIwpiyWfseG8leVkUYlSPHhyPySyKIEAaVUtO279JgmLnZcPMl9-rYLWCvRwkeLQuOZ5O3UK4RAIoJ9Qi1qBcwhnTlcc4Y/s640/blogger-image-2060448580.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Erc9wWbW6rGY2sGEzeL6pkMcA5Wsfn85rup9U0O8VwskMSoCCgULVmKmq7kSZi3mnPDykaixETCOqSlwgahDaCkafbnu9fUcyW6kcBKTxKXqnRzoVI1DgfjZsj2KPMboFfAUe2Vs1jU/s640/blogger-image-1513029350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Erc9wWbW6rGY2sGEzeL6pkMcA5Wsfn85rup9U0O8VwskMSoCCgULVmKmq7kSZi3mnPDykaixETCOqSlwgahDaCkafbnu9fUcyW6kcBKTxKXqnRzoVI1DgfjZsj2KPMboFfAUe2Vs1jU/s640/blogger-image-1513029350.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMekV0b-n3BbYkJt8ekXTTlJ91WlMtNx0mlc1huOC2BAz18wHz0F6JFU2dBafjUSM6wFKkdo8eFsrp2JsGWAe66mUCwpQdNrZMKlybVI2Z_nBJ9AsEmSaWr2cFveteQhG25HCIENHKBg/s640/blogger-image--1391991717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMekV0b-n3BbYkJt8ekXTTlJ91WlMtNx0mlc1huOC2BAz18wHz0F6JFU2dBafjUSM6wFKkdo8eFsrp2JsGWAe66mUCwpQdNrZMKlybVI2Z_nBJ9AsEmSaWr2cFveteQhG25HCIENHKBg/s640/blogger-image--1391991717.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib0qnhKUD6DEgKcC6gRwYYz512mWoSzqc915DFoAmaB8GCTRt-S-EtQ_3K84O3bm58cfa9bFH-MraJ4ITmoPDJ2jD1PwnAYEtTDabgLlcmzDV5crv_nsS5q1fymGHi8y5kAT-spx2lAv8/s640/blogger-image--131431626.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib0qnhKUD6DEgKcC6gRwYYz512mWoSzqc915DFoAmaB8GCTRt-S-EtQ_3K84O3bm58cfa9bFH-MraJ4ITmoPDJ2jD1PwnAYEtTDabgLlcmzDV5crv_nsS5q1fymGHi8y5kAT-spx2lAv8/s640/blogger-image--131431626.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVH7lKPOHsGWXdYE9hAtbHhICMj0xWoHt8ibECEQ3IiCghfWDGT0GiyWqzPSkmxM9K3EjmidKoNXRP7NsrCibiMAnhfmETOgxKBiVlmYx4vnGHhbGD9cl9pVSIFHJcyaMERkHdpR19jg/s640/blogger-image-1166531797.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVH7lKPOHsGWXdYE9hAtbHhICMj0xWoHt8ibECEQ3IiCghfWDGT0GiyWqzPSkmxM9K3EjmidKoNXRP7NsrCibiMAnhfmETOgxKBiVlmYx4vnGHhbGD9cl9pVSIFHJcyaMERkHdpR19jg/s640/blogger-image-1166531797.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-55593168507369008372015-01-22T06:37:00.001-08:002015-01-22T06:37:15.547-08:00Back in the saddleOn our way home we had to stop at the side of the road and get a wheel bearing changed. Amazing the place next door was able to sell us a case of beer for our stranded Canadians. After a nice rest for a few days the team is hard at it. Today one crew did some landscaping to level out the rough terrain and another continued to purge the brick walls. A drainage ditch was dug to help with the washroom area and plans were made to layout the kitchen tomorrow. When we arrived back today the roof was on and the front doors were being installed. Another crew worked on the interior bathroom walls. So much happening in a short window. So proud of all the members here who took the time from their busy lives to make this project a reality. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvaL7uuxFB36HziNJPsJ8PLZQ2KlwraK5qtR5u_U-Djr_aYyc65Hi0Q7V3fUWX1QJeBSnHucAbE-OkaVPsTcg-Cvo20cuI1Afo5JBsDT09ZTprWunfCQPHyNzjPTyfxZes7zGtJn_KI4I/s640/blogger-image--1706183482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvaL7uuxFB36HziNJPsJ8PLZQ2KlwraK5qtR5u_U-Djr_aYyc65Hi0Q7V3fUWX1QJeBSnHucAbE-OkaVPsTcg-Cvo20cuI1Afo5JBsDT09ZTprWunfCQPHyNzjPTyfxZes7zGtJn_KI4I/s640/blogger-image--1706183482.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsSk6x-X31D_xv6Ep22MCvzMyCsv4_VCc9UAyHjp1ZIequCX0DiCdTJ4px4HnyLUXQ5b6DwUk6oYETUVl_n4-XaCFO5XRBF9uq1KyEFErjKMWPsVhUuUA23duELkKvV1phkiDpzxdzIQ/s640/blogger-image--1901828346.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsSk6x-X31D_xv6Ep22MCvzMyCsv4_VCc9UAyHjp1ZIequCX0DiCdTJ4px4HnyLUXQ5b6DwUk6oYETUVl_n4-XaCFO5XRBF9uq1KyEFErjKMWPsVhUuUA23duELkKvV1phkiDpzxdzIQ/s640/blogger-image--1901828346.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDWqKrTIQEb4od5wXycwDfDVmMrgAoQIZKJlL5fEE1aV_fNADeNVQI_T9vuqQCZzjSOjFr4HuxHFsNFC0jTcs3dQ9fmhQM5GCDX7XHtepGL7GJMrtukp9P3D3a3yFrX0I5ADBsK5knw0/s640/blogger-image--1378545077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDWqKrTIQEb4od5wXycwDfDVmMrgAoQIZKJlL5fEE1aV_fNADeNVQI_T9vuqQCZzjSOjFr4HuxHFsNFC0jTcs3dQ9fmhQM5GCDX7XHtepGL7GJMrtukp9P3D3a3yFrX0I5ADBsK5knw0/s640/blogger-image--1378545077.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWEIY7ePPwl8sXGoxU8FB7Sl4Y-BkFsyEg4RfOJ1X869aWrFiKTDTrqY7qv3DltMalg7GRFVhQywiVBCOUmp1SlavnT2641xbSfrb9ms9eM07kqoC5D0b26xi6rVxcco3q1RghXfuvKc/s640/blogger-image-904426276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWEIY7ePPwl8sXGoxU8FB7Sl4Y-BkFsyEg4RfOJ1X869aWrFiKTDTrqY7qv3DltMalg7GRFVhQywiVBCOUmp1SlavnT2641xbSfrb9ms9eM07kqoC5D0b26xi6rVxcco3q1RghXfuvKc/s640/blogger-image-904426276.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxWHLe2hTrCyV6RpZ34_felB1jz6C3CCm1mUJzwALIFTjGkGAufnvHWJs7qX9oJHuEayjQiUT3_J977_6O10xm7iHAwaKLwNGV2B1Ynk_iB8cXCTl4XakDWsXgoeA4UGCYjKbDHkxKZz0/s640/blogger-image-1039134307.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxWHLe2hTrCyV6RpZ34_felB1jz6C3CCm1mUJzwALIFTjGkGAufnvHWJs7qX9oJHuEayjQiUT3_J977_6O10xm7iHAwaKLwNGV2B1Ynk_iB8cXCTl4XakDWsXgoeA4UGCYjKbDHkxKZz0/s640/blogger-image-1039134307.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Um-dO7QW-lofdquCle5T0hJqPeKckx_ASsZuHY2AWjYGGgd-bGpdj_hkkHRQmHMphwE-4srFmeWzUz3Y4LdSdbOx7-QzS8j5utUCoTASczIAZ2WKq0bILxdYQBGGh7_0s-8Ss4vBfkA/s640/blogger-image-907134944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Um-dO7QW-lofdquCle5T0hJqPeKckx_ASsZuHY2AWjYGGgd-bGpdj_hkkHRQmHMphwE-4srFmeWzUz3Y4LdSdbOx7-QzS8j5utUCoTASczIAZ2WKq0bILxdYQBGGh7_0s-8Ss4vBfkA/s640/blogger-image-907134944.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-80039370643274973512015-01-20T03:35:00.001-08:002015-01-20T03:35:44.849-08:00Mid point breakThe team has been really working hard so we took a small break for a few days to take in some of the amazing sights here in Cambodia. On our first night here in Siem Riep we went to an area called pub street. Took in some live music and stopped into a few local watering holes. The next day we took in a floating city. No idea how people live like this and can only imagine the hardship they deal with. The water was very low but normally the water is up near the bottom of the house. On our last day we visited Angkor Wat, a true treasure in our world. You may have seen some of it in a few movies like Tomb Raider. After that we took a visit to a land mine museum that is sponsored partially by some Canadians. Still millions of active land mines here. Much demining is still needed. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4cJFBEo9lw5igBMMjAofw9rA76WOtu3xZqlIya1RVHJKdyURdD33wAJmCcEtnx5OGBgIJ-As5uW58FuRQO_qR7Ea6Zgg99d9o4QdgPFX9FGT23e3Bb_dU9Whm__MY-H9qwstEGDoPOg/s640/blogger-image-345052807.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4cJFBEo9lw5igBMMjAofw9rA76WOtu3xZqlIya1RVHJKdyURdD33wAJmCcEtnx5OGBgIJ-As5uW58FuRQO_qR7Ea6Zgg99d9o4QdgPFX9FGT23e3Bb_dU9Whm__MY-H9qwstEGDoPOg/s640/blogger-image-345052807.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpONqUJ5ovHlHOtKEFm0377joQ_RcJZfzWrP04Bb-KBdM_zrzkEngDGRdKt8M-asAE8qdiceSpiVbLdDtyFT5-_yDRVAoFG_tNhqel575GIdNfd6BWZJbo7wNMdgnd4szkvOi8wKS2nDU/s640/blogger-image-2036436735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpONqUJ5ovHlHOtKEFm0377joQ_RcJZfzWrP04Bb-KBdM_zrzkEngDGRdKt8M-asAE8qdiceSpiVbLdDtyFT5-_yDRVAoFG_tNhqel575GIdNfd6BWZJbo7wNMdgnd4szkvOi8wKS2nDU/s640/blogger-image-2036436735.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLh-WND9iIQRKGR3c1n5Wn5HLEvYSnFvYK-s-a84X5h3DBPqCXrPFWs0jSsYkpiX06eleb4s21BaBUZKL_Gp_0OgH7onhvTm-hypoEWf8LFGZtO-weL26gb9eGvXdqGxy3VI9ITyH2m0/s640/blogger-image--321937240.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLh-WND9iIQRKGR3c1n5Wn5HLEvYSnFvYK-s-a84X5h3DBPqCXrPFWs0jSsYkpiX06eleb4s21BaBUZKL_Gp_0OgH7onhvTm-hypoEWf8LFGZtO-weL26gb9eGvXdqGxy3VI9ITyH2m0/s640/blogger-image--321937240.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoaI35tPM3TVc7FrhT8DcXZZ9E5Fv_JQQjRF3tAIK1kHPAuFGxvdHW8LZtYHqTVcD6wtBkSgCEOFc3pfnHm4M2GF567kHiFZy3aaCXQ7Kk1nfotHv2qCqcxxO9fU-WGqZxYCVRc2p7Q8o/s640/blogger-image--344055052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoaI35tPM3TVc7FrhT8DcXZZ9E5Fv_JQQjRF3tAIK1kHPAuFGxvdHW8LZtYHqTVcD6wtBkSgCEOFc3pfnHm4M2GF567kHiFZy3aaCXQ7Kk1nfotHv2qCqcxxO9fU-WGqZxYCVRc2p7Q8o/s640/blogger-image--344055052.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-22135506400940414432015-01-17T15:36:00.001-08:002015-01-17T15:36:29.096-08:00Half way point milestoneBeen a long haul but we are very happy to see all that has been done. So fun today to play ball with the local kids who are now camped out to watch our progress. The village is miles down a very quiet road. Down the road a few of us went for a walk and got invited into a local home that was hosting a wedding. Not a person spoke English but they did their best to make us welcome. <div>Work on the site had a parging party with Gerry Pilon leading the parade. Steve Thompson was leading the fence post team who set over 130 concrete posts and finished them up today. </div><div>After dinner in our local restaurant we went to a Combodian version of karaoke. Mmmm very different. Got a great shot of our Kempenfelt Rotary president Scott Brumwell and all the past presidents on the site.

Very long hard days in the sun took its toll on 4 members today who stayed back to rest up. The local labourers have been an amazing resource and we couldn't do it without them. The fence posts are up and we have started parking any finished walls we can. The interior walls start tomorrow along with the front wall. So awesome to see it take shape. The team is a mix of young and old but the fellowship has been fantastic. The young and old taking turns spelling each other off for a rest has been wonderful. We all have enjoined a few Angkor beers at the end of the day. Such a pleasure to spend some time with many close friends and my good friend George Dangerfield. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivdz_HQsj8ZxAUy5f-yMUus8_lTe6G_O3yX-5SzPVrd-coMV-zQQtgbzpxiz1aMwGctk245o6beD30fT8rYd0XxDfQxg3wUvBRqnsbFoQC_7rEEVggmIEi6FvCtJMwIhJqqMWVQJzXgrU/s640/blogger-image-827451211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivdz_HQsj8ZxAUy5f-yMUus8_lTe6G_O3yX-5SzPVrd-coMV-zQQtgbzpxiz1aMwGctk245o6beD30fT8rYd0XxDfQxg3wUvBRqnsbFoQC_7rEEVggmIEi6FvCtJMwIhJqqMWVQJzXgrU/s640/blogger-image-827451211.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRzS2QoztUVQkdgqvY7uXf-Mp7guMm62JpZat8dFxZ7E-vg8UkVp8O5PbK_Oy1YKSF0eeob88tSwvA9Ci7KXsaijj14758YajZFVZKZFlK6mfEK8DFmhXzkVHydXh9NTDHFwFV6YqsG0U/s640/blogger-image--485152660.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRzS2QoztUVQkdgqvY7uXf-Mp7guMm62JpZat8dFxZ7E-vg8UkVp8O5PbK_Oy1YKSF0eeob88tSwvA9Ci7KXsaijj14758YajZFVZKZFlK6mfEK8DFmhXzkVHydXh9NTDHFwFV6YqsG0U/s640/blogger-image--485152660.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF0grBy9qKWx9N3fGovMjLdHxKN5OeMOVQXPURX7qvXRtEZ0lTR1UciWpxzU7ookmbY59wCVmJhhPqrPpONaWmiIoUQddn5XT7mtFl-0pVHZoM4cLZcPtKD4Ml-Te4vFiPBed3_aYtj1A/s640/blogger-image-1643181078.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF0grBy9qKWx9N3fGovMjLdHxKN5OeMOVQXPURX7qvXRtEZ0lTR1UciWpxzU7ookmbY59wCVmJhhPqrPpONaWmiIoUQddn5XT7mtFl-0pVHZoM4cLZcPtKD4Ml-Te4vFiPBed3_aYtj1A/s640/blogger-image-1643181078.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSrstusj2rrFOABvSw_x2KClt4ZqInLtTYQcM_aUkUxCNkRKLMVGpqbd-I_xxIgTpLA0KLhkj_YXEqK_eQu-85tST3Fumao8vD9qRbkd5ALQ8ljYqNXBBSIte-wuOvAm2aq4QaJyrca4/s640/blogger-image--213769515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSrstusj2rrFOABvSw_x2KClt4ZqInLtTYQcM_aUkUxCNkRKLMVGpqbd-I_xxIgTpLA0KLhkj_YXEqK_eQu-85tST3Fumao8vD9qRbkd5ALQ8ljYqNXBBSIte-wuOvAm2aq4QaJyrca4/s640/blogger-image--213769515.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMOaIO8bjK_a2pQ_oL_iwW8r28VJ14Oo0hgT4vvAx72UxBqnWCAcLeWpBPuBJ1ruPgKSP-8NAMEsYGFk9c4uIEagTGhqdsfbvJ24Kj1CCLhOuSpsQ3DgKm0SBs6gBtCezvpaVI8KeYR9U/s640/blogger-image-2054731744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMOaIO8bjK_a2pQ_oL_iwW8r28VJ14Oo0hgT4vvAx72UxBqnWCAcLeWpBPuBJ1ruPgKSP-8NAMEsYGFk9c4uIEagTGhqdsfbvJ24Kj1CCLhOuSpsQ3DgKm0SBs6gBtCezvpaVI8KeYR9U/s640/blogger-image-2054731744.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-66822660307733643412015-01-15T08:33:00.001-08:002015-01-15T08:33:19.576-08:00Progress is the name of the gameUnbelievable day five of the build. The walls are taking shape and all but one window is in. Our youngest member Chloe Pilon set up a little shop today and handed out flip flops and toothbrushes to any of the local kids who stopped by the site today. So inspiring to see how this trip has an impact on others in the group. Many are stepping way outside their comfort zone to make this site a happy productive place. The village we are in have never seen this many foreigners so interest is building. The teacher Sophea is overwhelmed by the support he is receiving. There is not one day that goes by that I don't walk the site alone and pretty much have a small cry to myself on how this project after such a short period is happening. My wife Maryanne has been a rock at my side from day one and helped me so much that I could never thank her for her help. My friends and rotary members working hand in hand to make a dream a reality. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzZ8GtIXW3-fnebgaw6x9-8UeXGC1vKk_LyLSu0zGWJgbGy3CSISgviWLwGgHrKUr71oW13X90WI8LJ0_hFtY-xrf2iiAStr58bcU99szRkrrElo12LOyLws-ZxdfE13LJu3hS8XQyR4/s640/blogger-image-1203811380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzZ8GtIXW3-fnebgaw6x9-8UeXGC1vKk_LyLSu0zGWJgbGy3CSISgviWLwGgHrKUr71oW13X90WI8LJ0_hFtY-xrf2iiAStr58bcU99szRkrrElo12LOyLws-ZxdfE13LJu3hS8XQyR4/s640/blogger-image-1203811380.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcAxto75_GpVjnZiHZFzQFUVj9kA1EV3TJX7DwlHWiGsytiPTfOBO4CZ4G4Lu_64Xtt6puT77Gvmu-FSaxrOLatEJ8cSd3vyCsk9HnoUB0NL0kxdMIRpmEoue0vQrxJctPAjuRN-76Hig/s640/blogger-image-832435369.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcAxto75_GpVjnZiHZFzQFUVj9kA1EV3TJX7DwlHWiGsytiPTfOBO4CZ4G4Lu_64Xtt6puT77Gvmu-FSaxrOLatEJ8cSd3vyCsk9HnoUB0NL0kxdMIRpmEoue0vQrxJctPAjuRN-76Hig/s640/blogger-image-832435369.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiifUCbrgXAteIIx3XRHsrtXCLXz7Wz08fpO47qRte_Dhe_o96oLNW-1OSKMsytdKcdT3HdxPy-yUFsJ0T9C4LyYwtUEnGXFOOhDFP04EDTz881_e4Wp3bKqTQnHQCIduAF64-UmtkFBfY/s640/blogger-image-1915107215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiifUCbrgXAteIIx3XRHsrtXCLXz7Wz08fpO47qRte_Dhe_o96oLNW-1OSKMsytdKcdT3HdxPy-yUFsJ0T9C4LyYwtUEnGXFOOhDFP04EDTz881_e4Wp3bKqTQnHQCIduAF64-UmtkFBfY/s640/blogger-image-1915107215.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5kb0PnEcwhRUgcgW9FuBDGigeyCrHf1sc4kUos2fL2Oh8w1gVd13tPWfb-GPbpdttXCcNTpHT-dWks59KrCHTt1aeHLklWHIrso0wzLF3ffiI6TIvcIoJqg7bp34_mrJlnMyTTVuYaE/s640/blogger-image-1748207401.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5kb0PnEcwhRUgcgW9FuBDGigeyCrHf1sc4kUos2fL2Oh8w1gVd13tPWfb-GPbpdttXCcNTpHT-dWks59KrCHTt1aeHLklWHIrso0wzLF3ffiI6TIvcIoJqg7bp34_mrJlnMyTTVuYaE/s640/blogger-image-1748207401.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-40978743874680693952015-01-13T15:36:00.001-08:002015-01-13T15:36:29.247-08:00Water water and more waterVery hot here and we have limited shade. The team is taking on water like crazy. We got tired up picking it up everyday so has a company deliver 60 cases to our hotel just to last only for 4-5 days. The same company delivers beer so that was a bonus. Things are going well and we have started the upright colums. We has a few people down today as the heat really knocks you out. They do everything by hand including mixing cement. We move the sand, concrete and everything else in buckets. A wise purchase today was three wheel barrows and an extra 6 shovels. The local team with zero English is having fun with us and have an awesome sense of humor. Lots of local kids in the village have been coming by to watch us work and are very exited at the prospect of attending this free English school. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv5IQngarGIStNGyRT81i6Wu7w_8PutM_K9yK17T6iHgl4v5g0PQgsQt6_Le0S5yPrA03q2NUQya84KT-DkCQmZCrVTF1hPzoSQeHs1NulgRP8urNpSKCGaGwq-SQrL5MgQZvBLH6ShI/s640/blogger-image-492767477.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv5IQngarGIStNGyRT81i6Wu7w_8PutM_K9yK17T6iHgl4v5g0PQgsQt6_Le0S5yPrA03q2NUQya84KT-DkCQmZCrVTF1hPzoSQeHs1NulgRP8urNpSKCGaGwq-SQrL5MgQZvBLH6ShI/s640/blogger-image-492767477.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYqnrRsxiMeW9cugiKy3fGwABv23ZCmU3lQ79liOA81wjIWLKkbxfhyxnhgDVe1mDI26VStYwTuYnNB5uc_MR7agLysR18TV2Thr-tGGGQXJ7ke1XGsOZoMV70P5GMHD6UamOVYdpDR0M/s640/blogger-image--1578469687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYqnrRsxiMeW9cugiKy3fGwABv23ZCmU3lQ79liOA81wjIWLKkbxfhyxnhgDVe1mDI26VStYwTuYnNB5uc_MR7agLysR18TV2Thr-tGGGQXJ7ke1XGsOZoMV70P5GMHD6UamOVYdpDR0M/s640/blogger-image--1578469687.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicbygMQg1SHAuJFojYE1WXd_Qx3UIkX2YxhustSfMCuHZfS8__Uii8pzvPzWb3RSckUrhpPG6orWeoxU9ImDSCAWczdQy6dNGSqdPnx_nAQ2kwarOZpK6kKaA2bY3k3HBUSFD7UeuNz70/s640/blogger-image--610592159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicbygMQg1SHAuJFojYE1WXd_Qx3UIkX2YxhustSfMCuHZfS8__Uii8pzvPzWb3RSckUrhpPG6orWeoxU9ImDSCAWczdQy6dNGSqdPnx_nAQ2kwarOZpK6kKaA2bY3k3HBUSFD7UeuNz70/s640/blogger-image--610592159.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmA7h_MZHttO1c8eb9dMfOUC3RrO_WLdDOIrIsb8-iIMd7fSrpWPGoHb91mdqsJm7WrXp5NJgGdquLXsPIVtRqWyjFGR_7Q2pTM67IsJEXPlEOs9RNLrKdST9doqUaziR8x5q2qN7gfQ/s640/blogger-image-1033046922.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTmA7h_MZHttO1c8eb9dMfOUC3RrO_WLdDOIrIsb8-iIMd7fSrpWPGoHb91mdqsJm7WrXp5NJgGdquLXsPIVtRqWyjFGR_7Q2pTM67IsJEXPlEOs9RNLrKdST9doqUaziR8x5q2qN7gfQ/s640/blogger-image-1033046922.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2R9yvju1fukoqXemm_rgl3asNj-RTtQ0hgoENk61PLaQ5N_zkWaniAsJyRkU9g49qogdoz-G_CC0M9TROkfxs6ycu9Q41JDy5R16oJay3QDCxYhPl7GVox9BGS4PKcSt-CVPDUPPspn8/s640/blogger-image--658234441.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2R9yvju1fukoqXemm_rgl3asNj-RTtQ0hgoENk61PLaQ5N_zkWaniAsJyRkU9g49qogdoz-G_CC0M9TROkfxs6ycu9Q41JDy5R16oJay3QDCxYhPl7GVox9BGS4PKcSt-CVPDUPPspn8/s640/blogger-image--658234441.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-18020290269300222552015-01-11T15:00:00.001-08:002015-01-12T05:55:46.035-08:00School build day 2Up very early this morning with the sound of the roosters giving their morning ritual since 3 am. It's amazing how much you can do with so many hard working volunteers. The team pulled together and managed to get the foundation complete and the box beams framed and poured. Many people learned how to lay bricks today that had never seen a trowel before. Sophea the teacher at the new school and his team of locals never stopped all day in the 34 degree heat. Again early to bed since the team can barely hold their heads up after dinner. All mixing of concrete is done by hand here. My kingdom for a cement mixer. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxPf72OYcLcA_hKr2ij8gqzzQJ2H5YVv0yl4HjTFgYQ4fQWr6ZeA3PDFTNJcfAaRKrgoTWnIySjpV5ULVmsNozDqCTBm0IX7HejLdIEBc6q324fvtP70-I4O_cf6YPEnWVDZuVt2rHos/s640/blogger-image--419841777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxPf72OYcLcA_hKr2ij8gqzzQJ2H5YVv0yl4HjTFgYQ4fQWr6ZeA3PDFTNJcfAaRKrgoTWnIySjpV5ULVmsNozDqCTBm0IX7HejLdIEBc6q324fvtP70-I4O_cf6YPEnWVDZuVt2rHos/s640/blogger-image--419841777.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkyNCBqrGDmxsZzgs16_8kzKyQjdNlc5tzcShET2tbdlKPhEE4Sw7fSIjFg8fFpBagkkU_2Gi-1IHuL8t6tF0VYd9X3Yxbw7b0jtBAWCrdaIklSGJVzeKZ17ukwolTiilUqWqfDzanSc/s640/blogger-image--1339998154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkyNCBqrGDmxsZzgs16_8kzKyQjdNlc5tzcShET2tbdlKPhEE4Sw7fSIjFg8fFpBagkkU_2Gi-1IHuL8t6tF0VYd9X3Yxbw7b0jtBAWCrdaIklSGJVzeKZ17ukwolTiilUqWqfDzanSc/s640/blogger-image--1339998154.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-H7jJgTX-o_2j_mARuigY6A7uGg1urNktDm5Bvs_UjnI4pew7UTDwZziJKzQxXQUb2Qhmx5JS2uO3oJTQsYLrpoU6FLZUfn8lU3U1lJJ-dOB3YSyipCLmA_SuV-o7RiA49yMahMxKLk/s640/blogger-image-727937870.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-H7jJgTX-o_2j_mARuigY6A7uGg1urNktDm5Bvs_UjnI4pew7UTDwZziJKzQxXQUb2Qhmx5JS2uO3oJTQsYLrpoU6FLZUfn8lU3U1lJJ-dOB3YSyipCLmA_SuV-o7RiA49yMahMxKLk/s640/blogger-image-727937870.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PE5r_bQ93TxF4WNZ6Z8wthpIjh7ZvV5V3R9z9tDfdsVpN9xIYPu8shv70nJAgXP003IRn2rjYPHg2vtdR0uFh1F2aBWy8Z9MadZnFHxz6kBhaEhwnBJZjxSYref2T-ulvIDM_0r9awc/s640/blogger-image--909778792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PE5r_bQ93TxF4WNZ6Z8wthpIjh7ZvV5V3R9z9tDfdsVpN9xIYPu8shv70nJAgXP003IRn2rjYPHg2vtdR0uFh1F2aBWy8Z9MadZnFHxz6kBhaEhwnBJZjxSYref2T-ulvIDM_0r9awc/s640/blogger-image--909778792.jpg"></a></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-54246270252167061672015-01-11T05:13:00.001-08:002015-01-11T05:13:40.596-08:00We are on site and the build beginsWe had a few days in Phnom Penn to rest up from the travels and blow off some steam. The team visited a few sites to understand why we are here. We visited S-21 that was a high school but during Khmer Rouge got turned into a place where people were beaten and tortured. Over 17,000 were thanking from there to one of 400 killing fields. Close to 2 million people were killed during 1975-79. It is this reason that there is a need for schools and education. <div>The team arrived on site today and worked very hard in the hot sun to get the project on schedule. I have to admit that after 8 months of raising funds and talking about this project when I stepped out of the van with 27 friends, family and Rotarians I got a little emotional as I walked up to the hole where the foundation was about to go. We moved rocks and mixed cement all by hand. Special thanks today to the Pilon clan who's kids worked non stop without stoping for a break today. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_hC5WKLcmw-m9x1eqil1pfJ9vw58kQEdwpr3XiYcPsDZfcuMQ8C4BWE6jCbsxohQqRIJU0nbvfn6rWIGSsePf0FQCUg6y8LcB0MqTLRFpSFs6XQeggQl5lUsZ2-rrg04uH-IiI8gIhA/s640/blogger-image--330641188.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_hC5WKLcmw-m9x1eqil1pfJ9vw58kQEdwpr3XiYcPsDZfcuMQ8C4BWE6jCbsxohQqRIJU0nbvfn6rWIGSsePf0FQCUg6y8LcB0MqTLRFpSFs6XQeggQl5lUsZ2-rrg04uH-IiI8gIhA/s640/blogger-image--330641188.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uG69XYCuA3y4dYC9kFVJ_Nsac8rzS6B_RL20vavxFOFD7XVlFO6lLxvSng6xybCKUEQ6PvikUpwmF4ZLfhAbWhz4-OsqPGSrYhhUFqc7AKyUsT0ZD9vOfV6seNegwr4fSVV5okRd-8g/s640/blogger-image--40666832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uG69XYCuA3y4dYC9kFVJ_Nsac8rzS6B_RL20vavxFOFD7XVlFO6lLxvSng6xybCKUEQ6PvikUpwmF4ZLfhAbWhz4-OsqPGSrYhhUFqc7AKyUsT0ZD9vOfV6seNegwr4fSVV5okRd-8g/s640/blogger-image--40666832.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGtRpsLoqiyYOXnhz1kyNUgqbsi8yUPdy1a2a9IoxiEk7rU48IauFQJlpIzwYFL0NUrDrmLKY1kFXeDbwAf7iqiwt9REV24ORRlfTNZyTlgV637CNVSGoVJ5KyNEe1EvwE3cyDE-b643Q/s640/blogger-image-221702440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGtRpsLoqiyYOXnhz1kyNUgqbsi8yUPdy1a2a9IoxiEk7rU48IauFQJlpIzwYFL0NUrDrmLKY1kFXeDbwAf7iqiwt9REV24ORRlfTNZyTlgV637CNVSGoVJ5KyNEe1EvwE3cyDE-b643Q/s640/blogger-image-221702440.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsICKeAOrwI2okoJxjIykJFwczeHkI-fDi2m_q8bvDRTK1T0m-kYCmzQpq-tSrQ9FsK5r2AtYrNwyVY_dl9yyF0sD-vG76t0fUUAO3xE95yXBMime4u11pkdKqOsQeV3a6E8vLO-O6I/s640/blogger-image--902189014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsICKeAOrwI2okoJxjIykJFwczeHkI-fDi2m_q8bvDRTK1T0m-kYCmzQpq-tSrQ9FsK5r2AtYrNwyVY_dl9yyF0sD-vG76t0fUUAO3xE95yXBMime4u11pkdKqOsQeV3a6E8vLO-O6I/s640/blogger-image--902189014.jpg"></a></div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>Mike Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943270199640036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935052020104604638.post-82652357865613094532015-01-04T08:01:00.000-08:002015-01-11T05:14:05.082-08:00The travel journey begins.The team starts to depart today with the Thompson's heading out tonight, the Pilon family tomorrow night and the balance of the team on Tuesday night. The entire team on both sides of the earth are so happy to get the build started after 8 months of anticipation. 150 kids per year will now have an english education and a brighter future. They are the real stars of the project and will go on to be community leaders and with any luck make the changes in their country needed to make the world a better place. We would like to take this time to thank everyone who supported this project from it's infancy. Today is the day we take all that support in our hands and use them to make this a reality. Many friends and many Rotary clubs it takes to build a dream, Sophea's dream of education for all in his village. We hope you enjoy following us on the journey. <div><span id="goog_1063166942"></span><span id="goog_1063166943"></span>Ok so I'm a little late finishing this so we are now are a few days later and now at the airport ready to roll.
