In the Airport - Last Khmer Language

I make a strong effort to learn as much Khmer as I can. The local people get a kick out of it when you try, and they look downright shocked when you nail a word or phrase with the right accent. Sitting in the airport is the last time I get to use my limited vocabulary. I picked up a few great new words this trip, and I'm saddened that I won't get to use them for another year.

This is also a time for reflection. I like to ponder the work I've done and consider how I can do more. This trip was a learning experience first and foremost. I now know more about the healthcare system than most people, even locals. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't take an Ivy League Scholar to see big, gaping holes in the sector.

We made great strides on the incorporation front. I look forward to helping in that way to build momentum for larger projects. After all, I see big challenges that need to be addressed.
