On Saturday, February 6th, SwatCambodia will be hosting Speed Dating in Upper Tarble! Come meet some fine young people, and practice your pickup lines:
1. I'm no Fred Flintstone, but I can make your bedrock.
2. I'm writing a paper on the finer things in life, and I was wondering if I could interview you?
3. I'm going to treat you like my homework: slam you on my desk and do you all night long.
8PM, Upper Tarble! Bring $3 to get in (proceeds go towards our housebuilding trip).

Join us for the Philadelphia area premiere of "To Speak"
The Tabitha Foundation and SwatCambodia will be screening the movie "To Speak" on Sunday, February 7th, from 3:30 PM - 6 PM at Cunniff Hall at Swarthmore College:
Based on a true story... Ratana is a 12-year-old Cambodian girl, living a precarious existence in an impoverished rural village. Despite the suffocating pessimism of her fellow villagers, she dreams of a better life, and of building a new and permanent home for her family.
However, a brighter future seems impossible, until a local development agency suggests a radical plan. The other villagers think that Ratana is crazy to trust the outsiders, but she seizes the opportunity and sets herself on a collision course with her family, the village and even Mother Nature herself.
To succeed, Ratana will need to rise above the grind of daily survival and also grapple with the terrible legacy of the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields.
She will be pushed to the very limits of her strength and spirit - to the point where too much hope can crush you.
Join us for light refreshments 3:30 - 4:00, learn more about the people of Cambodia and how you can be part of the great work of Tabitha. The film screening will begin promptly at 4 pm.
Admission is free, tax deductible donations will be gratefully received by Tabitha USA. Cottage handcraft items will be available for purchase.
For more information on the movie and Tabitha please see www.tospeakmovie.com and www.tabitha-usa.com.

We're going to Cambodia!
Great news, everyone! I've finally bought our tickets to Cambodia for this spring break. We're leaving on March 5, bright and early, and coming back late March 14. It's going to be an intensely packed trip, with lots to do, but entirely rewarding!
I can't wait!
Happy New Year!
