Freight Arrives! 2 containers of clothing, toys and water filters!BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FROM ALL OF US!The filter for Phum Chreh arrived intact.
All the Sisters of Teuk Thla were there to welcome it :) From Phum Chreh, the truck delivered the cargo to our place in Tuol Kork. It was around 8:30 pm and we finished unloading until nearly 10:00. Look how happy everyone is and tired too:) I'll be sending you the complete pictures including the opening ofthe boxes. Tomorrow, we have to divide first the boxes for the threecenters. I'm glad there's a label for each box. It would facilitate the unpacking and distribution because we know which center has more children and their age level.You know our boarders all clapped their hands and shouted when the truck entered the school and especially when it was opened. A grandwelcome! I had some problem though with the camera. I'm not an expert yet in using the flash.with love and prayers from all of uswhile they were unloading I couldn't help but say a little prayer forall those who have contributed their time, money and effort in sendingus all these beautiful things. What a big work you did! God is really wonderful!
Dear Friends,Thank you again for making this shipment possible.
The total cost to ship these 2 containers cost about $7,000. Everything inside it is priceless because it is a gift of our love for our less privileged brothers and sisters.
This is a testimony that with God everything is possible. It only takes from each one of us the heart to give and share and in this case the trust to pack the first carton! :)
All Glory to God! \o/\o/\o/
Yours In Christ,
Mill & Lyn
We thank you for your wonderful and powerful network in providing for us and the children many beautiful things. May you be blessed by the Lord always. The children's little hearts are beating with joy to express their unanimous "Thanks" to you and all your co-workers. We have clean water now. Thanks again. Love from all the sisters. Sr. Ophriini

DEAR Mr Gopi,
THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGE
CONTENTS NOTED
WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN (CUSTOMS) CLEARANCE FEE ? IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OIL PRICE INCREASE
- The custom fee not increase this is for non-garment.
WHY TO OBTAIN A TAX - DUTY FREE CERT OR FORM, CNEE NEEDS TO PAY SO MUCH USD 350
- This amount usd 350/set don't maintion about containner u can combine 2 or 3 containner per one set.
- For this amount need to run 3 or 4 place ( Ministry of commerce, CDC, Custom house..)
- And other way u can give consinee run it by them selt.
ALTHOUGH CARGO IS FOR CHARITY
HAS THIS CHARGES TO BE PAID, CAN'T THE AUTHORITIES WAIVE OFF OR AT LEAST REDUCE THIS CHARGES ?
SECONDLY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY USD 350 PER SET OR DOCUMENT (IS IT B/L) ? OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT LIKE COMM INVOICE, PACKINTG LIST ?
It mean that 2 containers per 1 M/BL or 1 H/BL. They alway calculate one B/L
CAN BOTH TWO CNTRS COME UNDER ONE DOCUMENT = B/L TO CUT DOWN THE COST
Two Containners can combine one bl it is better one container one bl coz some items such as permit custom, permit camcontrol they alway calcutate on bl.
For Custom clearance and scanning ...can not combine it.
ABV CHARGES WAS NOT MENTIONED TO US IN YOUR EARLIER QUOTATTION
All above charge, cnee alway run its by them selt.They not allow us to do it,
but now u can informed shipper, u give us handle only clearance and trucking fee, Run doc for free tax duty by consignee.
I alway ask u have conpleted doc for free tax duty or not?

Dearest Mill,
Greetings from all of us. Hope all are fine and working for the Kingdom of God. Well, we are very happy and are grateful for all what the good Lord has done for us and especially for the poor children at Chreh. The water filter plant is working very well. We are still trying set up a permanent place for it and we will be working with it in the following days. We are afraid that the theives will rob the water pump or other things as Chreh is famous for robbery.
With the money that is being alloted by you, we decided to buy government water. We then pass through the filter and the children are very, very happy to drink the water. They said it is very tasty and they took it home to make their parents and others taste the water too. We also use this filtered water to cook our food for all the children. What a wonderful blessing !!! A big thanks from all of them too.
Give our regards to all your friends and do continue to pray for these children, that they may know the Truth, accept the Truth and live the Truth. Love from all of us, Sr. Ophriini
