Have heard from Vuthy Lim recently via e-mail after a long time of no response and he said that the orphanage is surviving, they haven't got any significant income streams to support the orphanage so they have had some tough times , the children not having any rice to eat & having just porridge. They receive smaller donations at times but nothing big & ongoing. I know Mission outreach is still forwarding donations for education purposes. It has certainly been a challenge since Tear Fund discontinued their support at the end of 2007 (as is their practice after 10 years).
Thankfully we have the cool opportunity to send some cash & gifts over this month with a friend of ours Greg who is heading to Asia tomorrow & will be a week or so in Cambodia - he is going to meet with Lim in Phnom Penh & might be able to go visit the children on our behalf.
Thanks very much to Ang & Russ who have kindly donated to the cause!!
