Why we chose Pearl'd Moments

The word pearl came to mind for us because it metaphorically represents our motivation for this trip. The clams harsh outward appearance looks rough and lifeless, however inside lies one of natures most precious jewels. Each person in this world has their own appearance and story, yet inside we all posses the precious gift of life. It's something every human shares together across our entire world. Each of us are our own clam with different stories, but inside of us we all have reasons in our life that light us up and make us happy.

We are searching to find these pure moments of happiness. Pure moments of love. Pure moments of life. Pure like pearl.

Moments simply reminds us that this is all we got. All we have is this moment, and then its gone. We have one life to live, so be courageous, be uncomfortable and do what truly matters to you.

Cambodia in the day light

Arrived in Cambodia at 1am, and brought to our volunteer house where we will be staying. It took 26 and a half hours from my airdrie home to my new Cambodian home! It is always scary first arriving somewhere at night, when everything is dark and looks so sketchy! Got snuggled in our little room in no time and was out like a light. It was very relieving so wake up and see this new unknown place in day light. We had fresh mangos for breakfast and plan to jump on a Tuktuk and venture around for the day! The market sounds like a good place to start to get some cambodian teaching attire!

    Wow Jessica, thank you so much for contacting us! We are so excited about being here in Cambodia and are loving it so far! We would absolutely love to meet up with you when you get here! We feel our time in Cambodia is not spent by us doing them a favor by being here to help them, but will be more about them doing us a favor by teaching us some of our greatest life lessons in 4 short weeks! It is so cool that you will be here the same time as we will be. We get our placement on Monday but I believe we have evenings free. This upcoming weekend we will be taking a trip out of the city but will be back during the week days. Let us know when it works best for you to meet! Thank you so much again for commenting on our blog. It is very reassuring to why we are here in this beautiful country. Xo. -Kendal & Jeremy
