Last year, after a rigorous week-long field work, we were treated to a sumptuous meal in this restaurant. The name escapes me now but it is really worth going back there.

I love this quaint restaurant showcasing Khmer architecture. It is located outside of Banlung town tucked in the verdant hills of Ratanakiri province. The food is fantastic as well serving Khmer traditional dishes.

Who’s on duty?

This is one of the signs posted during Operation Smile Cambodia’s international surgical mission in Phnom Penh last month.

One of the signs that caught my attention as I was checking the day’s activities and volunteers during the screening day of Operation Smile Cambodia’s recently-concluded international mission at the Smile Center. There on the dentist’s table this sign was posted – how fun!

What the volunteer dentists at the recent Operation Smile Cambodia International Surgical mission called themselves. Funny chaps they were!

Our volunteer dentists for this mission were from South Africa and Egypt. They were both young and energetic lads and so fun to watch as they do their magic with our patients.

I helped organise this event *grins proudly*. It was held with the aim to raise awareness the issue of cleft deformities in Cambodia as well as to spread word about Operation Smile Cambodia’s International Surgical mission (that took place from 30 March to 4 April) held at the newly-opened Smile Center.

Operation Smile Cambodia’s Charity Bike Ride 2014

I also took part in the bike ride. There were nearly 200 cycling enthusiasts, young and old alike, who turned up. The starting line was at the Lucky Burger joint in Koh Pich (where we had free breakfast!) and finishing line was at the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital along St. 271 where the Smile Center is located. It was only a 16-km fun ride that took the cyclists to the nicest parts of Phnom Penh.

Upon reaching the finish line, the cyclists had the opportunity to visit the spanking new Smile Center as well as meet the medical and non medical volunteers from Cambodia and 10 other countries and see them in action. It was a nice day, indeed!
