Tracy's Learning Jouney at UNACAS (Cambodia)

UNACAS stands for Unaccompanied Association and is by NGO. Most of the children there have either no parents or are from single parent family. But they are living there because their parent could not afford their living condition or education. So for 10 days, we interacted with the kids and teenagers living there. We stayed at the church that was within walking distance from UNACAS.

Their Playground, but most of the facilities cannot be played.

The girls' dorm.

The boys' dorm. Upstairs is where my team conduct english lessons.

Road to the church, where we stayed for 10 days.

In the church

The hall where we slept in. The tentsare mosquito nets. You know how many bugs and flys there were in the church once it was dark? If you never close your tents properly, you will be spending your time inside the tents trying to 'kick' those bugs out and spraying insect repellents at those irritating flys.

Where we wash our clothes and hang them at

The pink colour towel is mine!

There are 4 cubicles (2 of them with toilets) there and there are 26 of us. So every night, we have to bath really quick and have to 'fight' for the cubicles if you don't want to queue later. So you have to be quick in choosing your clothes for the night. But that was not the most irritating part. The bugs flying around while you bath is the most irritating part. By around day 3, you sorta get used to them. Once you see them, you just use water to splash at them. Anyway, I still don't like bugs.

And there were also blackout frequently. Like we may be teaching our english lesson halfway, the lights will just close up and fans will not be working because there was a cut in the electricity. It was a good thing I never met with a black out when i was bathing.
