Day 1 Sunday 13th June

The group gathered dark and early at Changi Airport Terminal 1 on Suday 13th June. While some of us went to gather the boxes  from Uncle Sebastian's office, the others guarded the bags. Due to the skytrain being out of order, it took the group half an hour to gather the boxes and trolley them over to terminal 1. After a long and tedious check in where nearly 40 boxes were checked in, the group headed to the plane. Before long, the entire group had boaded the plan heading for Siem Reap. After a 2 hour flight, we landed at Siem Reap Aiport. After collecting our various boxes and luggage, we boarded our bus and were introduced to our guide. While on the way to the hotel, he told us various interesting things about Cambodia's history as well as important events that affected Cambodia. Once we checked in to the hotel, the starving group had a much-needed breakfast at the hotel poolside restaurant. After that, the group boarded the bus and headed to the Four Square Orphange, where we would spend the next four days helping to improve and brighten up the orhpange. When we got there, we briefly introduced ourselves before immediately setting to work. Some brought out huge cans of paint and set to painting the walls blue and yellow, the traditional ACS colours. Others scraped the old paint off the walls to allow the new layer to set in and dry. The group worked hard until lunch time, where we all stopped work to have a lunch of MREs (meals ready to eat). After that we continued work until the late afternoon, when all the boys went down and played soccer with the boys from the orphange. We then retuned to the hotel to wash up and rest before heading out to dinner. Our dinner was held at a seafood reatuarant and was a 7 course meal. After eating our fill, we went back to the hotel for a good night's rest
