Rachael and I met the group from Mt. Arrarat Church at Dulles and got on the plane for the first leg of the trip to Cambodia. This will be the George’s tenth trip but the first time inviting Mt. Arrarat Church and co. to join on their mission trip to Cambodia. In 2008, Rachael joined a school-led mission trip to Cambodia to work with New Hope for Orphans. While on the trip, Rachael called her dad with an idea for a personal mission. The bunk beds at the orphanages were in deplorable condition and desperately in need of repair or replacement. Over the past 10 years, Rachael and her family have made it a personal mission to bring new bunk beds and sustainable projects to orphanages around the country.
After hard work from all the volunteers, the wood for the beds was cut and shipped to the orphanages back in April. Now the team is off to lead construction and help as needed. Rachael, Sean, Jerry, and I are leading the group and meeting Cheryl-Lynn and Julius–the heads of the mission–in Cambodia. The team will visit 6 orphanages around the country and work with hundreds of kids for a two-week mission.
The first leg of our trip took us to Doha, Qatar for a 10-hour layover. Our flight to Cambodia leaves at 2:15 AM local time and we’ll meet Cheryl and Julius at the airport in Phenom Penh, Cambodia at about 4:00 PM.
We get right to work on Monday with 25 bunk beds at Takeo. Everyone is excited and ready to get right to work.
