New little boy in our project

Chanty need a companion to join her to the evening school where she study English. Borin and I decided to find a companion for her and Borin choosed a little boy from the temple.

His name is Meng Cheng and he is 10 years old. His brother is monk like Saru (see him at the photo to the left sitting with my hat). They are 7 siblings in the family, two of them are younger than Meng and the parents live in the border Tai - Cambodia. The monk took his little brother, Meng, with him to the temple in Phnom Penh as he hope to give him opportunity to go to school.
He will join Chanty to English lessons in private school and we will pay his school fee and his books.

Borin told me that Meng and his big brother are happy to get this opportunity so we wish him good luck in his studies and we are happy that Chanty can go together with a boy she know.

Dear Mother of Hope

I was very happy so much when I heard you went to your summerhouse. You know my mother ask me about you and I told her you go back to your Country already. And she asks me more questions about you. My mom told me that she really happy so much when you coming to visit in our house but she had feel afraid of your mind so much because our house is small but she still enjoy to welcome you to visit again if you want. And she doesn’t know how to speak to you but in her mind she is so happy. After you go back I show her again everything that I got from you and she is very interesting very much and tell me "don’t forget to try study more" and said thank you to you and she wish you have good health all the time.

You know I describe her about the one bad manager in Cambodia of children at NGO to my mom and she feel so sorry to hear that.

You know mother’s phone is very old and sometimes when she talk on phone is clear but another time when she talk with any person is not hear and she take it to repare shop but the phone need to change some parts so I decide to give the new phone that I got from you to my mom. You know I will tell you one. The new phone that you give me, my mother she really likes it and she said that it is very nice.
About my study in high school is still good for me and today I spend $10 for biology subject for one year to study extra time and another subject I’m waiting to pay later.

I spend $5 for electric and 8000Riel (2 usd) for water for two month after this.

About holiday at my school maybe on August next year but I am not sure about this because it just my thinking and I will ask my friends or the teacher about that.

Please help me to say hello to my both sponsor, and say thank so much for big help to Cambodia and me as well. I really so happy in my mind that I don’t know how to say and I can’t find of the words in English to explain you for your help to me and other persons

In the name of one poor student in my Country and I didn’t have dad so can understand any person like me is so lonely and still remember and want to have father like other people.

And for me I never know about happiness but after that you come to visiting in Phnom Penh you teach me to try to smiled and now I think smiled is necessary for me because smiled made me good luck and friendly. You know most of my photo is very nice that I can smile. Before I didn’t know you I don’t know how to smile but from now on I must smile all time because I have the sponsors to help me. Everyday I can eat rice, I can study, I can pay for something by my both sponsor to help me so I think that my sponsor is like my best parents .

Orly thank you again for everything to me a lot and I can not forget my mother told me to say thank for your kindness for me and her as well and any children.
Finally, I don’t know how much to say more to you so I just wish you meet good luck and good health all the time and your family forever.

Orly I want to tell you one story in my mind that I never tell any body You know after I know you I learn from you a lot so in the future I think that if I finish my best university and I get job and good salary I will help poor person or help orphans. Why I do like this? Why I help them? So I will describe them my story when I was poor and tell them about your big help to me and tell them that "don’t forget to study hard" and when they are have everything they must think about this before. This is my best opinion in my heart and my mind that I can’t forget it and I still remember everyday, everytimes.

Love from Yos

Saru change his subject at University

At my visit in Cambodia, last week, Saru talked a lot about his plans for the future. He study now International Relationship but he like very much all subjects related to law and he asked for my accept to change his subject from International Relationship to law in the future.

Sure he got my accept, he can study what wish and like as long as he do his best!

He will finish his semester this month and will start next semester at the faculty of law afterwards.

I wish him good luck in the future.
