GRIFFITH GLEANINGS JULY 2020
During this past month we have had some rest and adventure that has taken us from bicycle tracks and rock art in the Flinders Ranges, walking trails in the Lincoln National Park and whale watching at the head of the Great Australian Bight. What a great privilege we have had these past six months to visit such amazing places as well as eat bread together with so many of our Aussie family and friends in the places where they call home. We are ready within ourselves to return to Cambodia for the next three years. As we write these words we do not know if our return to Cambodia is weeks or months away, but we do experience peace as we seek to make the most of each day we are given, whether or not we remain here in South Australia longer than expected.
To return to Cambodia we require the Australian Government to agree to an exemption to travel, additionally in Cambodia we need to satisfy the Cambodian Government that we do not carry COVID -19 virus infection, that we have medical insurance to a minimum of $50,000 USD and provide a deposit of $3000 each for our potential virus testing and quarantine expenses. And of course our agency seeks to make a wise and careful decision that now is a safe and responsible time to return.
