So it’s official – my next destination is Phnom Penh, Cambodia!! As official as it can be without a plane ticket, anyway. I’ve told my family, my boss.. I’ve made up my mind, and that is the starting point.

South East Asia has been a place I’ve been planning to go since my last trip to Africa. I’ve been waiting for the right time, and the right people to go with so when this opportunity presented itself about a week ago I hopped on board and started planning ways to raise this money with 6 weeks to go till take off.

My good friends Jay and Kellie (the ones I visited in Northern Ireland earlier in this blog) are going to be heading up the new Iris Cambodia, and starting up their NGO where we will be working with children who have been taken out of the sex trade there. So I’ll be meeting up with them in Cambodia to help start getting things up and running, get some training from local NGOs and get to know the people of Phnom Penh. It’s going to be intense, and heart-breaking, and eye opening and incredible. I can’t wait.
