i had so many new experiences during this trip. i got to know many more of the children and youths in UNACAS and also the ones i already know much better. :) 

it's amazing to see how much they have all grown these past 5 years, like Srey Phear, my little girl, who is not so little anymore. she was 11 when i first met her, now she is 17 and will be starting high school soon. yet, in my heart, she will always be the precious little girl who grabbed my hand when i stepped off the bus the very first time i visited UNACAS. it was because of her that all my fears and doubts were washed away. thank you Srey Phear for never forgetting me even if i didn't visit for a long time. thank you for all your sweet letters and all your love. i really love you, my dearest little sister! 

Channa :D

Sarah :D

there's also not forgetting, my best and closest friend in UNACAS, Bell. thank you for keeping in touch with me these 5 years and always being my messenger and my postman to the other children and youths. we started off with e-mailing each other  to facebook-ing and whatsapp-ing now. i feel like we get to know each other better each time i visit and it's always nice to have heart-to-heart talks with you. i'm also really proud of all that you have achieved and i'm really touched by your love for your family. it's really been great to see you in Singapore too.

Lydia is also someone i truly love and miss a lot. i'm really thankful that i got to know her much better this time round. thank you so much for hanging out with me and sharing with me. you're a really sweet girl and i'm truly blessed to know you.

there's of course many many others.
