WE'RE OFF

After months of preparation and waiting, we finally left Phnom Penh on Thursday the 5th of April. It was very exciting as we moved the Ship of Life, from its home of 2 months on the Tonle Sap River, to the mighty Mekong River. The crew was all pumped up as we slowly moved toward Kompong Cham Province where we will begin our mission.
We have a small 16 ft runabout type of boat to shuttle people around and Bill and I took video and still pictures of the ship as we were in transit. We met with the Ministry of Health Director and others when we arrived. The Provincial Governor, who is the Prime Ministers brother, will tour the ship soon and we will be able to begin work. The health officials have helped us with a schedule of local communes to visit thru the month of April. It won’t be long now.
