Hey All, Guess what? I think there will only be one more of my harassment update emails! There is a lot going on in my life here the next two weeks. I am going to start packing up quite soon and begin living out of a backpack one of the next few days here. I [...]

Hey All, Been a busy past couple of weeks. Was a facilitator at an English teacher training conference, followed up that with a field trip to a national park here with my Eco-Club (pictures are up). After that we had the last official meeting for all of the volunteers I came over here with. I [...]
Family and Friends, I just got back from my vacation to Bali yesterday. It was a lot of fun but in a lot of ways I am glad to be back also. Going on vacation felt weird with how little time left I have in Cambodia, almost like leaving right before you have a huge [...]
Hey All, I am finally getting a well deserved break, or more like a slow down, from all of the hectic running around I have been doing the past two months or so. The past week was especially crazy as I mostly voluntarily upped the “realness” of my experience and service here by going full [...]
Hey Everyone! I am trying to get back on track to writing this once every few weeks, so bear with me a little. I have had two very busy weeks and my craziness hasn’t quite settled down yet. It is however nice to be so busy at times, even if I don’t get the rest [...]
Hey Everyone! It has been quite awhile since my last update and I apologize for that. I have been busy but not that busy, most of it has been because I am doing my best to take advantage of the opportunities to develop friendships with people I work and live with here in the time [...]
Hey All, Lets get right into the good news! After close to two months of waiting the money for my school project has finally been transferred to my bank here AND I was able to withdraw it. I can finally pay the laborers and pay for the doors and windows. Not sure how that would [...]
Hey Everyone, It feels good to be in year 2011 knowing that this is the year that I get to come home! That sounds crazy because I still have plenty of time here, but the holiday season was really tough to get through as I have said before, but I did get through it so [...]
Hey All, First off wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays, especially my niece Callie who is celebrating her first Christmas with her parents, Danny and Les. Hope its a good one for her and everyone else! I have been very busy these last few weeks, and actually really homesick for the first time in a [...]
Hey Everyone! So by the title, you might have surmised as to what I could be talking about but I will let this email I received tell the rest of the story: Hi Ryan, I am happy to say that your project has indeed been fully funded. We are currently processing the funds and they [...]
Hello Everybody, First off I wanted to thank people who have donated to my project. With less than two weeks under our belt, we have been able to raise close to half of the amount necessary. I am pumped! With that said, I think it gets harder from here because donations need to come from [...]
Hey Everyone, I am Ryan Young, a Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Cambodia. You are receiving this email because you are a family member, friend, or friend of a friend or family member. Over five months ago, my school administration and I began planning a large project. They came up to me one day and [...]
Everyone! I added new pics to my Peace Corps Album Two. Over 80 new pictures from Halloween and the stuff with Hillary Clinton. Take a looksee. Bye All. - Ryan
Hey All, Been some time since I actually gave an update. Wanted to first give another congratulations to my niece Callie Ann and the proud parents Leslie and Danny. Its still a whiles away but I am looking forward to meeting her for the first time officially come next September. Lets start off with the [...]
Dear All, So I started a trend of having whatever visitors I get write posts for me. Not only does this lesson my bi-weekly (sometimes monthly) load, but also I believe help give everyone else a different set of eyes to look through. So my mom came and went, it was great to see [...]
Hey All, Long time no see huh? Well, I have been keeping busy since I sent you something but hopefully this all will make up for it. And if that doesn’t work, I just posted some fresh pictures of my travels in vietnam onto facebook, so go ahead and take a look at those and [...]
Hey All, I just celebrated my 25th birthday a few days ago with my host family, they suprised me with a Durian cake. Second time this month I have eaten something with Durian. If you dont know what Durian is, I suggest you check this link. Anyway, I guess its all downhill from here on [...]
People, Lets start this week off properly, with an update. I am just wrapping up a long weekend to the beach, again, because it just so happens that school finished for me earlier this week. What I mean by that is that there is testing for the rest of the month, and due to some [...]
Hey All, Probably tricked you with that title didn’t I? I am doing very good here these days. I am as busy as I want to be, and sometimes more than I want to be, but a little work never killed anyone, at least not directly. I have been really out and about from where [...]
Hey All, Got about a months worth of updating to do, so before I start, this one will probably be a long one. Jason came to visit me in Cambodia about a month ago. Him and I had a ton of fun, and most of it was pretty absurd. I will mostly let his opinion [...]
Hey All, First off, I am in Sumatra right now but obviously I am alive here and survived the earthquake that happened three days ago. It occurred on the North part of the island, and we felt the shake but nothing other than that. At the time of the Shake, we were sleeping near a [...]
Heading to Sumatra today, thought I would leave everyone with something dumb to remember me by.
“I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.” – Jack Handey Sometime it is rough having a lot of expectations of myself in my life of myself and of others. Having to deal with the reality of those thoughts and how applicable or [...]
Hey All, Just checking in for my whenever-I-feel-like-it update. Its possible that my next month will be done by a guest writer even, so that could lesson the load for me. I have been very busy the last few weeks. Two weeks ago, we had a week-long Peace Corps conference. While it was good to [...]
Hey Everyone, Sorry it has taken me so long to write. In case you have forgotten, I do still live in Cambodia, I am still a Peace Corps Volunteer, and I am on Month #7 in this country. I am recently coming back from a vacation to the beach town of Sihanoukville, which was good [...]
Hey Everyone, I am further away from this than probably everyone, but it really has hit me here as well. Maybe a month ago now, I had the lucky opportunity to meet some former VSA (Volunteer Service Abroad) from New Zealand who worked here in Cambodia back in 1996 or so, for about four years. [...]
I have come to believe that I am really meant to be doing this right now. Maybe I dont know what my next step in my life holds, maybe I dont need to know, but being in Cambodia right now is truly what I need to be doing at this point in time. I wake [...]
Just posted some new photos into my album on bookface. Take a look, either with the link on the right or by clicking this – Ryan
