遛
Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh,we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin
attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike;a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in
the other we set off on our 45-minute commute.It is a familar start to the day for me and two other
volunteers.We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city.
中
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic.Kiwi directs our path between the
蜀
trucks,4x4 Lexus'and countless motorbikes,which often carry entire families.We reach the dusty

highway,masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs.A mixture of concrete
和
buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish.The residents often smile
and wave as we pass by.
斛
We turn onto a farm track.The last part of our journey is a roller coaster,jumping out of
potholes(路面坑洼)and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road.We pass huts on stilts(木桩),

长
skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us.The stream along the
岸
side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.

Finally,we arrive at our destination:the oasis(令人快慰的地方)is Samrong Orphanage.By
兴
the gates,a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles.We're greeted by the shouts
of"Cha,cha (short for'teacher')!"from several other kids gathering round.As we climb out of
批
our vehicle,the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it.In such
conditions you would imagine life to be hard,but you wouldn't know it to see the warm smiles and

hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.

Compared to children in the Western World,they have little and yet they give so much in
御
generosity of spirit and enthusiasm every day.Despite the journey,it is so good to arrive at work in
the morning.
