Keep a Cambodian kid in school for $7.00

School is out for the day! Many families cannot afford the required uniform in order for the children to attend school. A white shirt and dark blue pants or skirt costs about $7 USD.  If you'd like to help keep Cambodian kids in school, send us a message and we'll give you info on how to give.

The Many Faces of Cambodia

These are some of our favorite people pics from our Journey thru
Cambodia 2013.  The Khmer people are incredibly beautiful...
with hospitable and welcoming hearts.  This is our fourth trip to
Cambodia, and our love for the people and land continues to grow
with each visit.

Playing games before church in the Jurai village.

The motobike is the family car in Cambodia.

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."  Luke 18:16

Overlooking part of Ban Lung from the East. (At least that's what Alger says.  I have no clue what direction it is:)

Jurai child living in remote village in NE Cambodia is obviously
not too comfortable around big people with white skin!

Creative storage for cooking pots on village hut.

Jurai women cutting up cassava root to dry.  This cash crop requires plowing, exposing the soil to erosion.
After 3-5 years, the topsoil on the slopes has washed  away, and that land is no longer productive.

Jurai women (tribal group in NE Cambodia) work hard in the fields.

Red soil covers much of Cambodia, but is especially prevalent in Rattanakiri Province.
Dusty in the dry season and slippery mud in the wet season.

Recycle lady.  Nothing is wasted here.

Phnom Penh is a boom town... but many families live in slums
in the shadows of the new towering office and condo buildings.

Phnom Penh street scene.   Always bustling with activity.

Cambodians LOVE their clams and mussels.  And no, I haven't tried any:)

Children work in shops and farms to help support the family.
This young man is staining and finishing a solid wood door.

Cambodia is a nation of children...45% under the age of 15.  

Life in the villages hasn't changed much over the years... except for the cell phones!
