...annnnnd we're off!

Today, we begin the 26 hours of flying before finally arriving at Phnom Penh, Cambodia for our jam-packed spring break. Hopefully, there will be time for homework.

Thanks to everyone who made this first group trip possible!

Almost time to go!

Our flight leaves from the Philadelphia Airport on Friday, March 5, 8 AM. Finally, SwatCambodia is going to Cambodia! We'll have news, updates, and pictures from our travels after we come back to finish off the semester.

In the meantime, here is a fascinating article about one man who planted landmines in the past...but is now undoing that by teaching villagers how to safely disarm the landmines!
