Happyland

Visiting Happyland orphanage was the most unforgettable part of my Cambodia trip. I was
deeply impressed by their optimism and outgoing personalities.

At first, I didn’t expect much, I thought it was going to be just an ordinary visit once again.
However, when I arrived, the children welcomed us warmly with big smiles on their faces. That
scene, when we got off the coach, is still very much etched onto my mind, even after a month.

Some of the orphans were the same age as us so we had mutual topics of interest which
helped us develop new friendships in a very short time. Most importantly, we really had
an extremely great time together, chatting and playing around. My friends and I felt very
comfortable and free in a place that none of us had ever been before.

The children taught me to stay positive and always be cheerful. Even though they suffered
a lot before, they were able to overcome their problems and be happy. This was a truly
meaningful learning experience. I’ll never forget it. Especially the time spent at Happyland.
