Ryan Gunn is currently my favorite blogger. He’s doing an awesome job of keeping everyone at home updated about his trip to Cambodia. Kudos, Ryan! DAY 10 – Friday began with another 10 ton rice distribution and medical clinic. Seeing so many sick people – especially children – is depressing. As we continue to move [...]
