This was a "Moving" weekend for Sameth

Monday comes marking the beginning of another new week at the office. Just like every other day recently, you can count on it being different. We were pleasantly surprised when Phanna came in today, as Monday has become his day off. He even beat Sameth there this morning.

When Sameth arrived he told us how tired he was from moving over the weekend. He and his wife, Thida, were so exhausted from moving that they couldn't even move to get out of bed. So after such a tiring weekend, when he got to his office there was more moving to be done. On Friday their office was put into a bit of turmoil when new desks were delivered. So today was spent cleaning out and moving around the office. At the end of the day, their office had been put back together, before Sameth walked out the door we had to reassure him we would make sure we find something for him to move tomorrow.

Our morning started off kind of crazy. We were just getting started when Sameth had two PEF students come needing to do loan renewals. Since his office had been taken apart, his computer was not even hooked up, he came to our office. We were happy to help and gave them access to our computers. Right about the same time, Marla called on FaceTime because she was having a rough day with car troubles. We took the call outside. Then after we finished talking with Marla we took a quick trip to the Service Center to get some PEF payments in before the day's deadline so they would be posted today.

One other project Phanna has taken to task was to create a bulletin board display for Self Reliance. With the remodeling and painting in our building in recent months, the bulletin board had been cleared and waiting for something new. We suggested the covers from the Self Reliance manuals would be great posters, so he took it a step farther and had posters printed. Not just for our building, but for each of the buildings throughout Cambodia. Now we just need to deliver them and get them posted. Maybe it is good thing there is a trip planned next week to make the circuit around Cambodia.
