Rockin4Tabitha 2008: Tuesday Jan. 29th 2008
http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/tuesday-jan-29.html
Tuesday Jan. 29th 2008. The Second Build Day. I think we will be glad that we managed six houses yesterday. We were only left with four houses complete our build. Did I mention the blackouts? Fairly regular lapses in electrical can come at inconvenient times. One of our team, who was lucky enough to have hot water in his room, was caught mid-shower by the latest outage. I guess it is a regular thing here, nobody seems to pay much attention, (except someone with shampoo in his hair). How nice was that.

Rockin4Tabitha 2008: The 2009 Build Diary
http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2009/01/2009-build-diary.html
The 2009 Build Diary. Well, our fundraising efforts were a great success, thanks to a joint effort between Rockin4Tabitha3, and ‘Team Ritskes/Brennan’. The funds were sent over to Cambodia just when the dollar took a huge hit, but we still had enough for our twenty-house goal. Thanks again to everyone who supported this worthy event. Our team this year is 11 strong; and we will need every bit of strength to succeed in finishing our 20 houses in 3 days. Keep your eyes peeled for updates. Hopefully the ...

Rockin4Tabitha 2008: Another Viewpoint - Build 2008
http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-tabitha-2008-house-building.html
Another Viewpoint - Build 2008. Recollections by P.C. Piilonen. Chickens, cases of Angkor beer, cans of Pringles, emaciated cows, smiling, waving Khmer children, and death-defying driving carried out under a set of rules that Westerners certainly cannot understand: no road trip in Cambodia would be complete without all of the above. As we start off on the road from Phnom Penh to Kampot, this leg of the journey looked not to disappoint! The First Build Day. Just get the job done. Back at the ranch, the N4...

Rockin4Tabitha 2008: Saturday, Jan 26th 2008
http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-1-phnom-penh.html
Saturday, Jan 26th 2008. What a face.street food vendor in Phnom Penh. As asian cities go, Phnom Penh has a relatively quiet bustle. Taxis drive slower, traffic is less congested, partly due to the fact that Phnom Penh is a relatively small city in comparison to Bangkok or Saigon. Our Team is staying at a small hotel close to the Democracy Monument, just a five-minute tuk-tuk ride to Tabitha headquarters. Also included in this part of the orientation is the very important rules that are mandatory for tea...

Rockin4Tabitha 2008: The 2008 Build Diary
http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/01/pre-flight-ramblings.html
The 2008 Build Diary. As my tenth trip to the ‘land of smiles’ approaches, a few observations come to mind. Thirty plus hours ‘in transit’, with a typical flying/connecting time of 27 hours, can take some psychological girding…. unless. 8230; you are getting to fly in business class. As one keen observer has noted on a trip to the opposite side of the World, you can’t wait for the trip to end (coach), or you NEVER want it to end (business). Which brings me to the. We have collected reward points from Air...

http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/monday-jan-28th.html
Monday Jan. 28th 2008. Our First Build Day. Old and new side by side. We split into 3 groups and started working. This year our external walls were corrugated tin. Even the third grade wood, which we had for walls last year, is now very hard to acquire in Cambodia. Plus side on corrugated tin-goes up fast, downside-NOISY, (next year I am adding ear-plugs to my must bring list). File Under The Strange But True. Save the Dugong sign. Hitting the pit early to prep for day two of the build. Trip Report 08 09.

http://rockin4tabitha2008.blogspot.com/2008/02/travel-to-kep.html
Sunday, Jan. 27th 2008. View from our resort in Kep of ocean and abandoned building. Our travels to Kep. We all piled into two vans at three o’clock this afternoon, which gave everyone the better part of the day to get some free time in Phnom Penh. Wendy and I had a late breakfast with Janne and her daughter Miriam. Everyone was a little early, enabling us to start our drive south a few minutes ahead of schedule. The highway to Kep is paved, two lanes, something that we would consider a small country...
