Housing for Chanty and Rotha

In August 2011, Chanty and Rotha got a room in the temple, Borin bought them a fan and a lamp, the room is very small, just 1 x 2,5 meter but now they don’t need to sleep outside. They have a place to keep their belongings, as school bag and cloths.

 

Daily life in the room of Borin

Borin agreed with the aunt of Chanty and Rotha that she will prepare everyday a dinner for all the small kids, he will give her the money for buying the ingredients and she will cook. Her job will be paid by a meal.

The aunt is living as homeless in the temple area. We started with this arrangement per 1. June and we hope that it will give Borin help to concentrate on his coming exams. The arrangement will also give the kids a better and bigger dinner than the one they used to buy.

The rice is coming from the village of Borin from the country side, once in a while he gets


 

 

Borin did shopping for the kids today

Borin did some shopping today for the kids, it is some Soya milk and noodles which our project support the kids besides their breakfast and dinner.
Per 1. of June we started a new arrangement, the aunt of Rotha and Chanty will make dinner for all the kids so they don't need to buy from outside and we hope that for the same money they can get better and more food.
The portion you see in photo is for one month, for June, for 6 kids so it is not much.

Borin is writing:
I bought today somethings like you see in the pictures. Sophal got his small present (for his good results in school) included a pair of new shoes, pen and extra soybean milk. His shoes were loosed so far, and Kosal's shoes were broken too, not the shoes to school but the shoes they wear in the temple everyday. It is dirty to walk without shoes in the bathroom, and spread dirtiness to my room as well, but they don't have so much habit of wearing shoes all the time.
MILO (cocoa drink) is for them and Coffee is for me. I do need coffee in the coming time (because of exams at medical school), and it might be only at mid-night time that could be always peace and quite for me...
You see a lamp in the picture, the aunt, Rotha and Chanthy could us if they need, like you wish, but they now have dinner in my room, so normally they don't need it, but I need it when i study at night as the light I am having is too bright when people are sleeping.

A typical meal

Our project support every day the kids with hot meals, Cambodian eat only hot meals. Borin sent me today these photos of Chanty, showing how a typical meal from us look like.
Thanks to all the sponsors for the support we get.
