Keeping up with all the activities at 4 schools can be daunting. Reporting on them all seems even more so. At the end of the day I just don't think that cleaning everyone's ears at Knar school is big news. After spending the last couple of days organizing the photos from this year I see all the little things stacked on top of each other and I suddenly see a story worth telling. I don't know how to tell it except to share these photos.

In them I see a story of growth, of laughter, of hard honest work, the coaxing of the bright flame of learning, of people coming together from the four corners of the world with no agenda except to grow peace in this forgotten corner of the world.

Ponheary and I feel a depth of gratitude that cannot be measured for all the friends we've made along this journey. Thank you for your generosity, your good ideas, your labor, your exuberance and your compassion. We wish you all a splendid 2010 full of health and well being and every kind of happiness.

As the sign at Knar says
"Good luck every day, every time."
