Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, my sister Janet, Piseth, Irene and I went down toKantebopa Children's Hospital to donate blood. In order to get atransfusion, the family of the patient has to supply donations ofblood equal to what is transfused. When school is in session, CHAD facilitates students at the Methodist Bible School to volunteer to help needy families. You can read more about the young boy, Viriak,that CHAD has been helping to get quarterly transfusions in a story byIrene at http://chad-cambodia.blogspot.com/There is also a story by a volunteer from the recent UMVIM Medical Team from Colorado. Thanks to the whole team! You can continue to support medical welfare for children like Viriak and those in Kratie with a donation through http://secure.gbgm-umc.org/donations/advance/donate.cfm?code=3020542 It has been great to have my sister Janet volunteering here for the last month. We've been working with the small-business development at Mau Bourn's church, and following up on some of the recommendations in the mid-term evaluation of the CHAD program by our partners in theMethodist Church in Finland. Thanks for your continued support!
