Dear all,
Time flies, thanks for still be with us here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
This month, sk carried out a house repair project, which is sponsored by the members of Kuching Chin Daw MC. A couple came here last August during the Holiday Training Camp and decided to help in a poor family after they went back to Malaysia.
This family (3 family members: an old mother, a grown-up son and a Grade10's daughter) stays on a "lake". Actually it is not a lake, just that the landscape of the area is lower than the other neighbouring land, so all the water gathered there. The mother used this opportunity to keep some ducks and geese for living. Although the older brother is working, but the job is not stable yet the pay is little.
After the raining season this year, the bridge that was initially connected the house to the dry land collapsed and the house was shaking especially on the both small "wing" that support the main hut. In order to maintain the place they stay, the project included rebuilding the bridge, and the two small wings beside the hut.
There are 14 BB Boys helped voluntary in this projects + three hired local carpenters. Within a day (morning 9:30 till 5:00 afternoon), the project finished. Praise God that Sopier (the girl) has a stronger hut and this also give experiences and opportunities to the boys to learn how to serve n help other people. May God use these boys to become servant leader among their people.
Let's check out the photos:
