This was taken on the first day of practicum. I am wearing a sampot--a traditional teaching skirt worn by khmai female teachers.
Here is RT, Christian and me...we are in Phnom Penh on a scavenger hunt.
Obviously, this is a house. I am in training now, but this is my temporary home in Takeo Province.
Here's 1/6th of the Peace Corps group. We went on a field trip to Tonle Bati...quite a relaxing day. L to R: Nikki, Christian, Lisa, David, Me, Dylan, Chrissy, Nick, Vanny (LCF) and Greg (K2).
Nick, Mira and I visited Kristine (in red) for our Kampuchea Adventure. I am sitting next to Kristine's host dad. He pulled these coconuts straight off the tree and served them to us...fresh coconut water...
Me, Chrissy and Dylan on our trip to Tonle Bati...we are sitting in a hut above the water...
