The morning of our last day in Siem Reap was spent visiting the 'Handicap International' landmine museum. It was a very informative and inspirational visit where we got to meet people who are landmine victims. We also got to see how they built their prosthetic limbs and how they got about to regaining their lives and continue living in spite of their disability. No cameras were allowed inside though to respect certain sensitivities.
Going through the displays with a display serving as grim reminder.
We made a contibution to 'Handicap International' after which we made our way to the airport where we had a prize and gift presentation of which then we made way back home.
We left with heavy hearts yet eager to go home to our loved ones and share our experience of the trip with the rest of the school of a trip that really moved us all very deeply indeed.
