The day today is not that exciting. We get up early, get on the bus, which is not that uncomfortable, and then we're off to Sen Monorom! Then checked into the next hostel,...

Today is Tuesday, and we're not quite sure what we want to do. Or rather: Lilly and Cathy are sure they want to take a pottery class, but I'm sure I don't want to do that. I'm...

For those who want to know more than just that Angkor Wat was the location and set for 'Tomb Raider' with Angelina Jolie, this post is just right! The planning and construction...

What we didn't consider, of course, is that we only booked two nights in our accommodation. And since we want to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat this morning (like many others),...

The next morning, we wake up early again to take the grand tour of the temples of Angkor. The temples are incredibly beautiful and mega impressive. It is simply unimaginable how...

Am Nachtbus angekommen haben wir erstmal Schwierigkeiten die Busfahrer zu fragen, welches genau unser Bus ist. Diesen dann endlich gefunden, muss man beim Einsteigen schon...

We can't believe that the five weeks have flown by so quickly. We have gained many valuable experiences and hopefully have been able to help a little bit. Even if our work there...

In the past week, only Keith, Ben, and the two of us as volunteers are left in the clinic. With five less people in the treatment room, some peace has returned because Lydia,...

On our last Saturday in the capital, a celebration for the third anniversary of Mini Molars is being held at the Wat Angk Portinhean Pagoda. We never received an official...

In the past few weeks, we have learned a lot about the Khmer and their history. In the genocide museum (S21, Tuol Sleng Museum), we learned that Pol Pot, the leader of the "red...

This is the motto of the school where we are treating with the mobile units on Friday. It's the same school we visited on Tuesday and were greeted with the Watermelon Song. We...

Finally sleep in! To celebrate International Women's Day, we have the day off today and decide to celebrate it appropriately. We start with a long-awaited breakfast at a French...

After the power went out on both Thursday and Friday, this week can be approached with renewed energy. Monday is rather calm, but today it's again full house. Our pulse rises as...

Today we are going to Phum Champuh K’aek, a small village south of the city. Together with Rii and another helper from our project, we start from the clinic. Our means of...

After a rather uneventful workday, we make our way to Kampot. After about 4 hours on the bus, we arrive in the center of Kampot. We meet Mark, a Canadian who luckily has Google...

On the way to the pagoda, as always, we are overtaken by numerous mopeds, except that today we see little piggy eyes. Cute, right? They were certainly once, now they are crispy....

Mittwochs kommt die Müllabfuhr. Mal wieder ist die Tuktuk-Fahrt am heutigen Morgen ein wahres Erlebnis. Überall am Straßenrand und selbst mitten auf der Straße türmen sich...

Right from the start, it is clear to us that today will be a longer day than yesterday, because there is a large group of children waiting. Before starting the treatment, the...

At 7.15am we sit in the tuk-tuk, accompanied by Lennart and Moritz, our co-fellow students from the University of Münster, and two bags full of toothpaste, gloves, face masks,...

At 10 o'clock we get into the tuk-tuk, which takes us over the Japanese Bridge (Tonle Sap crossing) to the ferry. A ferry crosses the Mekong to the so-called "Silk Island" every...
