Supporting children and families in Cambodia

Hello from Cambodia!

I just wanted to write and thank you again from your support in our fundraising efforts to purchase a new vehicle that we can use to reach families and children in the local community.

With your help and in addition to selling off our old vehicles and using some additional funds we were able to purchase a great pickup truck. The truck has been ideal in getting around the local community and nearby rural areas to visit vulnerable Cambodian children and youth.

One of the ways having a new truck has helped is by assisting families living in poverty with urgent house repairs. Recently, our Outreach Team worked with Rith*, a father of three young children, to fix their small house. The family lives in a small, tin-walled house. Like other families in the neighborhood, Rith and his family do not have electricity or running water. The team purchased the needed supplies, used the new vehicle to transport the supplies and worked alongside Rith to make urgent repairs to the walls of his house, making the structure more stable and fixing the holes that let in the rain. The family now has a safer, dryer place to live. So far in 2016, M’Lop Tapang’s Outreach Team has helped more nearly 50 local families with urgently needed house repairs.

Again, from all of us here at M’Lop Tapang, thank you for your generosity.
