A film crew from Los Angeles was passing and stopped to tell us that they were filming about Cambodia and Cambodian schools. They were so impressed by the &#8216;turnout&#8217; of the Khvein children that they stopped and asked if they might film them. Not bad for a school that just a few years back had literally nothing! Mr Hon can\u00a0be very proud of his school.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>For the day, we provide sausages to supplement the childrens&#8217; rice (Phath&#8217;s wife, Sophath, was up at 5am today cooking them), bananas, cakes, lollies from ANZ Bank, Wetherill Park, NSW, and bottles of water. Before leaving Khvein all children are supplied with a\u00a0new pair of thongs for their feet.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>To those who&#8217;ve helped us with the excursion, we&#8217;re pleased to advise that the whole day cost just US$3.80 per child; last year&#8217;s excursions (there were two) cost US$4 per child.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>More importantly though is the benefit to the children which cannot be costed.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #00407f; font-family: comic sans ms;\">Martin\u00a0and Margaret<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was our annual excursion to the Silk Farm and the Cultural Centre and this year we hired 3 buses to take 130 children, four teachers, Phath, M &amp; M. \u00a0 You can see photo highlights in the Photo Album&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/news-updates\/major-events-2-the-excursion\/\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66\/revisions\/67"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rice4life.sg\/bulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
