Welcome to a good world!

My kittens have arrived and finally get the treatment they diserve.
Otherwise I was busy helping the RTC prepare for one week of Training and to organize and facilitate the annual Health Sector Workshop. Of course with appropriate celebrating afterwards!

So why did I use this title? I think, that this time, Srey-Niems kittens are really lucky to be born, after I moved in. I love them very much and try to take care of them as much as I can. Oli helped me to get in touch with an american organisation who can provide me with cat contraception pills, which are costly but worth it.
So here we are. Three cute kittens, 2 boys, 1 girl. Born on the 13th of July at 5 am and I witnessed it.

shortly after the birth

Because my camera was broken that time, I don't have pictures of them for you as newborn kittens. But with eyes open, they are much cuter anyway.
My niece could chose 2 names and she wanted them to be called: Matilda and Sophia and my little friend Lasse from Guestrow could chose and wanted one to be called: Rambo.

so hungry all the time

Srey-Niem is a good mum.

So after all that exitement and one week Preceptor and Clinical Instructor Training at the Regional Training Centre in Stung Treng, I went to Phnom Penh to be part of the annual Health Sector Workshop and greet Oli back, who arrived "home" after 10 days in the UK.

one late morning in the Programme Office...

Good morning Oli!

At the end of one day Health Sector Workshop, we had a lovely night on the rooftop at the Tamarind bar with Live music from the musical partners of some volunteers.
