A quick update

I'm off to visit a home and learning center for impoverished children in a minute, so I'll report back later on my visit to Aziza's Place, here in Phnom Penh. The children who live in the home near the Russian Market come from the desperately poor areas of Tonle Bassac and Stung Meanchey. At the center they receive meals, medical care, supervision, full-time schooling and lots of other interaction to give them variety and hope.
I received the schedule for my Mondulkiri WWF Bike Tour yesterday and for an unfit person like myself, I am seriously going to regret saying that I would join in! I just know it. We are literally cycling through and around the Mondulkiri Protected Forest, stopping overnight at 'field outposts' which in anyone's language sound less than comfortable and we'll be hours from civilization. I can't find the names of Trapeang Thmier, Trapeang Chhouk, Mereuch, O'Rovei and Dei Ey on any map, and the suggestion that I bring along oral rehydration packs such as Camelbak don't augur well. On day three we take a boat ride and a walking trip to give my legs a rest from cycling but aside from that it'll be on the bike in the heat and humidity of a forest - I'm looking forward to seeing Mondulkiri for the first time, with a free day in Sen Monorom tagged onto the end, but the battering my body is going to take is the bit I'm not so keen on.
