Ranothc and Serynoeun

     There are a couple girls that have been super kind, and sweet enough to let me interview them.

There is one girl named Ranothc. The first day I arrived at CPO, the main orphanage we are working at, she never let me free from her grip. She hugs me and never lets go, and I love it! Everyday that I go, she pretty much gets in the tuk tuk just to greet me and say hello. She is 16, and shes only been at the orphanage for 1 month. I asked about her family and she said that she has 1 sister and 1 brother that live in the Kam Pong Thom province. Right now, she is in 5th grade and in the future, she wants to be a store owner where she will sell clothes and shoes. She said she likes to workout, garden, and read. Her favorite color is purple. One question that almost made me drop to my knees was "I want you to be my sister...will you stay with me?" Even though we can't really talk, we still hug, and understand that we love each other.

There is another girl that I met today at another orphanage called PIO. Her name is Sreynoeun. She is 14 and has 6 brothers and 3 sisters. All in the Bon Teay Mean Chay province. She has been at the orphanage for 4 years. I met her by coming over to her and asking her about the paper swans and flowers she was making. She then started talking to me and told me she wanted to be a doctor, and I then told her  I too, wanted to be a doctor. She then said that she loved helping people. Her interests include being with friends and reading history. This girl will go very far, and even though I met her today, I will always think of her, and hope she gets to complete her dreams.

It has been an honor meeting these girls.
