Dear Frens,
We have an opportunity today to help a needy Cambodian student called Sopeak from Don Bosco, to help re-build her house which is falling apart. The minimum amount required is about USD$500 as the other half has been sponsored by another friend.
Sopheak was a student in the Food & Home Management class at Don Bosco.
By God's grace, she has chosen to be a nun & is now a formande. Her father met with 3 accidents in a year (2006 or 07) andnow now he's got TB.
Sopheak's house is 3h30' by car. Their house need to be repaired and partially rebuilt. It's now partly made of bricks to prevent the rain from ruining the wood wall. Their house is 13mx5m=65m2. For the labor of the cement work it's about $200 ($3 per square meter). Then there is the cost of the new materials, the carpentery work and the removal of the old house. Her father can't help much as he is very sick now.
Their own savings can be used to fill up their compound with red soil to raise the level of the ground by 50cm which helps to prevent the flood during this raining season.
Frens, if you feel called to help this family, to help them rebuild their house, give them hope, help them a little with their dad's medical expenses, do let me know. I will consolidate all our funds and work with the Don Bosco sisters to ensure that the money is used for the said purpose.
Let's free Sopeak's mind from worries of her family so she can focus on the committing her life to the Gloryof God! \o/\o/\o/
Yours In Christ,
Mill
ps - If we raise more than what is needed for the house we will help the dad with cost of some medicine and food for the young kids and perhaps help another family who is living in the same situation and need basic shelter.
