Countdown to Wayne!

I've been back at Wat Opot a little under 2 weeks now, but that's old news.  The children are over my return and are waiting for the big arrival... WAYNE!  All day every day, all the children talk about and ask about is Wayne.  When is he coming home?  Why is he taking so long?  Most of them know he is coming back April 15th, the day after the Khmer New Year.  Today, however, someone decided to stir up false hope and spread a rumor that he was coming back this weekend.  To put these rumors to rest and give everyone something to relax them, Melinda made up a calendar to count down the days.

Ms. Kunthea got the honor of placing the first sticker on todays box
Melinda explaining the calendar to everyone

Good job Melinda, and our volunteers from New Zealand and Australia who drew Wayne!
Hanging on the office door where everyone can see it.


Even with something to see, I'm sure the kids will be asking about him all day tomorrow, and the next day until they finally get him back.  Hurry home Wayne, hurry home!!!
