Midweek Courier (Leamington Spa, UK)
Leamington students who spent the summer working at an orphanage and a school in Cambodia say the experience was heartbreaking yet rewarding.
A party of a dozen 16 and 17-year-olds from Kingsley School spent four weeks of the summer helping the children and carrying out building work at the orphanage and school in Kirirom, near Phnom Penh.
Rhiannon Marshall, 17, said: "The work was incredibly rewarding and satisfying and it was such an amazing experience. It really was worthwhile just knowing how much you are helping the children's lives. When the times got a little tense and the temperatures reached 45 degrees in the shade, just thinking about how we were helping the children really motivated us."
The girls took presents for the children including bouncy balls, bracelets, pencils, footballs and sweets and helped build a path and car park.
Leamington estate agents, Brian Holt donated money towards materials to help improve the housing of the children, some of whom were abandoned at only a few days old by mothers who could not afford to keep them.
Other team members were Katy Warham, Claire Jones, Louisa Hadfield, Laura Johnson, Vicki Howe, Becky Slinn, Fiona Lemon, Kate Brown, Rozi Pearson, Katie Constable and Grace Challis.
