Everything is going very well here, and I have been learning a lot! I am now the official driver of Rosie (some of you are acquainted with her already), a ministry moto that I am using when going out to Kandal province for community health teachings and other things. Since Sveta is no longer here, I am kind of the solo teacher for our health program now (all the staff have of course volunteered to help whenever necessary). In between my administrative work, I am also teaching English every weekday at Sak Saum now, instead of two days per week. It's fun, and I think I am growing a lot in this area.
With Eric and Ginny away, I am sort of their liaison with everything that's going on over here. On the one hand, it's a big responsibility. On the other hand, it's not that hard since they are very good at keeping in touch.
We now have a new boy living at our Foundation Center (still waiting for funds to build a safehouse!), he is actually the younger brother of Sarai (one of our Sak Saum girls). Phec is a really great guy who unfortunately had the same problem as Sarai once did: an abusive, unloving family situation and no option other than the streets. He is doing very well at the Center and has such a joyful, thankful attitude! Please pray that we can build a safehouse soon to help other kids like him! (And click here if you'd like to help financially.)
We also have a new girl at Sak Saum, named Huong. Huong was at-risk for trafficking because the factory she worked at was closing... she is living with us now and is doing really well! She has some basic sewing skills already but is learning a lot of things now that she never had a chance to do before. She's a great girl and gets along with everyone. We're looking forward to seeing God do awesome things in her life!
Again, sorry for the lack of updates, hope you all are well!
God bless,
Emily
