Hot lunches for 500 Cambodian children and youth

Hello again from Cambodia! I just wanted to write and say thank for your donations in the past to support M’Lop Tapang’s food program and share a little video that our team put together this week that I thought you might enjoy viewing. I know you are probably busy so we didn’t want to take a lot of your time – the video is just over one minute long. You can click on the link below to watch it.  (…sorry, but we don’t really have any professional videographers on staff so there are no big Hollywood style production values in the video)

The video shows a pretty typical lunchtime here at M’Lop Tapang - lots of hungry children and youth from education and training programs, basic but nutritious meals, and a chance for children to spend time with friends.  You can see the cafeteria area in our Education Center, but your support has helped provide food in other locations too. Specially prepared meals are made in our Baby Care Program that works with babies and toddlers diagnosed with malnutrition; children like one-year old Dary* who in less than three months after being admitted to the program earlier this year increased her weight from 5.7 kg to 7.9kg and is now more active and playful. (Name changed for confidentiality)

Thank you again for your donations that are helping to feed so many children and youth.  If you have not done already, you can always consider joining the growing number of supporters who have signed up to donate a little every month. It is easy to do and together we can make a big difference in the lives of many. 

Wishing you all the best from Sihanoukville, Cambodia.  And remember that if you have questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@mloptapang.org and I’ll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.

Sincerely,

Eve Saosarin

Director, M’Lop Tapang

Hello from Cambodia,

It is 9:00 in the morning and I am standing in the kitchen of our Main Center watching our team prepare for lunch. In a couple of hours from now hundreds of children and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds that are attending education and training programs at M’Lop Tapang will arrive for lunch.

For many children, like 4 year old Buntha* in our kindergarten class who lives in the slums with his parents and three siblings, these hot lunches at M’Lop Tapang are the most substantial meal they will have each day.

From all of us here at M’Lop Tapang, thank you again for your support and donations to our hot lunch program. Together we continue to be able to help improve the lives of hundreds of vulnerable children and youth here in Cambodia.

Sincerely,
