M&D Hellooo, we've so many photos for you. Pratap was a star, he certainly helped make the trip a fab one. Can't wait to see you, fingers crossed the snow clears. Lots of love xxx
How fab!!! well, well, just what I was waiting for from S & S - what memories and how nostalgic too - More please of Darj & MHS.
Thank you for my "FIX" I bet your Mum loves the photos, now enjoy yourself in Goa with Mum & Dad. At least you will worm up in Goa after being in the cold od Darjeeling.
All the best to you and hope you enjoy yourself for the rest of your sojurn in India...............
How "J" I am Sandra.
Beautiful Kanchenjunga What a fantastic, fantastic blog - can't wait to see all your photos. How am I going to stop looking at it?!? You've done such a lot and I can see that Pratap helped make your trip very special. So pleased you saw the mountains too - it would have been awful if you had missed them completely - some do!! Dying to see you. lots of love and kisses mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
How wonderful that you are where Rose was at school; it looks so beautiful. You should pleased you're not here at the moment with the low temperatures! Have a great time with your parents. See you soon!
Stay safe & lots of lovex
Thanks Joan Not too sure on time for Nepal unfortunately. Lots of India though! We're in Darjeeling at the mo, just having visited a tea garden. Awesome. Hope all is well back home. Lots of love Xxx
It doesn't get any easier... ...Reading about your fun times - I would've thought that at least having been to SE Asia I wouldn't feel so much envy but, alas, no, I'm still jealous as can be. BUT! Roll on India! I'm pretty sure it's going to be a life-changer, for me at least. I hope we don't all decide to join an ashram and start wearing red. It's really not my colour, you know.
OK, I'm making no sense, but that's cos I'm EXCITED! Can't wait to see you, maybe even in TWO WEEKS!!! xxx
Hi Duncan Thank you for reading and for your lovely comment. It's so good to hear that Kemsan has a bright future. SOC is doing such fabulous work, it was amazing to have visited. We will stay in touch. Best of luck with the future. Sheryl
Peaceful haven So pleased you had a little fun on the tubes and found a peaceful haven to recover from that dreadful journey. The slow boat looks really nice, have a great time. lots of love xxxx
Wow - thanks for posting this! Guys, I was just looking up Savong and found your blog - and have spent 20 minutes going through the pictures - happy memories and looking at all the little details. Fantastic. I'll do a link to your blog on the www.savong.com website
What I love ehre is the level of play with these kids. In rural Cambodia there is very little of the culture of play that we generally grow up with. The toys, the sandpit etc - yet the SOC children clearly have a high level of interactivity (with each other and with visitors) which is a joy to see in your photos.
Everyone falls in love with Kemsan! That girl is really bright, and when she finishes Grade 12 (still a few years away) I hope we'll be able to sponsor her through University. Savong School started a university scholarship this year, and the plan is to add more scholarship students, at least 4 per annum, to support them through university with fees, transport, laptop and living allowance. Can you imagine Kemsan, a few years from now, holding a degree and able to follow any opportunity she chooses. That's the dream.
Thanks for your posting, and especial thanks for visiting.

M&D Yep, we've just come back from a late lunch and we saw someone swimming in the road - a Brit most probably! :O) It's crazy out there, no let up now for a good 15 hours. Shops, bars, restaurant, hotels are all flooded, most still open for business however. Lots of love xxxx
Floods What a lovely blog to have on a Saturday morning. You had us in stitches. When you said it was raining when we spoke - we didn't realise that it was necessary to swim down the roads!! My goodness, those poor people. I wonder how long it will take to dry out? Time to look for some sun we think?!? lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx
