Tonight we had a nice get together with most of the group at the George's house. It was nice because Wendy got to meet everyone.
What a wonderful crew. I really think this will be a great trip. Of course we ate Chinese food and Oh my what a ton of food. I think we could have fed a hundred people! Thank you to the George's!!!
Rachel George put together informational packages for all of us with lots of great information. Inclusive was a new map and also now I know the locations of the orphanages we will visit.
We will be flying into Siem Reap and visiting that orphanage, then on to Banteay Meanchay to the north west. Then to Kampot and finally we fly out of Phnom Penh. The organization we are working with is NHO. New Hope for Orphans. Here is a copy of a flyer with some pictures of the orphanages.
Finally with over 100000 orphans on the streets any one day in Cambodia which is roughly the size of Oklahoma, obviously they cannot take in every child. They have developed a policy guideline that details how they approach which children they try to help. It is a wonderful Christian based organization. I am looking forward to meeting them and the staff that gives so much.
