Received an e-mail & these photos from Vuthy not long after Greg returned showing us flooding at Help for the Poor and how it is affecting the children with several getting sick & requiring medical treatment. No doubt the water was very unsanitary and contaminated. You may recall in the slideshow earlier in this blog that the toilet & shower facilities are not good. As the weather warms up this will be a breeding ground for mosquitoes too. Also heading into rainy season. Those are small fish in the floodwaters above.
I am hoping to be able to send some more donations soon and have investigated an option of setting up an account here in NZ that will be able to be accessed by Help for the Poor by ATM in Cambodia - watch this space.... and thanks to Denise Arnold from the Cambodian Charitable Trust for the know how on doing this.
