Our team of 4 have devotions, and then get our job assignments from our supervisor, David. (A third couple failed to show up!) We start at 8 AM and end at 3 PM. Which is long enough in the heat.
Work projects:
Ladies – clean the two houses that are converted into sleeping and eating quarters for larger groups without RV units.
Guys – General maintenance, power washing, painting, etc. on homes to prepare them for new homeowners
Both – organize the “Tool House”:

Separate hand tools from power tools

Separate electrical, plumbing, painting, etc. supplies

Separate screws, nails, bolts, etc.

Finished sweeping up today!  Looks great!

We also worked at a ReStore shop, 3 times – general organizing and cleaning

This was a very busy place! Many people came to leave donations. Many came to browse and shop.

Pleasant surprises:

  • We can use the bathroom in a group house, which is more spacious that the RV!
  • We can use the kitchen too!
  • A lunch from a local restaurant is delivered once a week.
  • Among the myriads of graffiti on the walls, was a welcome message in Khmer!
A typical greeting in Cambodia – Welcome! and accompanied with hands pressed together as in a prayer greeting and a slight nod of the head.

Two weeks with a lot of variety, and the site is now ready for more volunteers.  And we are now official RV Care-A-Vanners – see certificate!

It is official!
