Sunrise Cambodia 2019

Our kids in Cambodia travelled to Phnom Penh for their very first national rugby tournament, eager and happy to show their skills and make new friends last month!

They had a great time playing rugby, making new friends and building an overall sense of solidarity and now we're looking forward to more of these tournaments in the future!

Head to our social media to see more from the tournament...
