JEDE BEGEGNUNG ZÄHLT – EINBLICKE IN UNSERE FAMILIENARBEIT
Es ist großartig, dass du dich gemeinsam mit uns gegen Menschenhandel und moderne Sklaverei in Kambodscha einsetzt!In diesem Jahr konnte schon so einiges erreicht werden und besonders in der engen
EDUCATION, NOT CHILD LABOUR
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you – because of your generosity, 725 children and young people have been able to go to school so far this year.
TIDA´S STORY
Recently, we met Tida (name changed) . She is 7 years old and lives with her father and siblings in very modest conditions. Sadly, her mother has passed away.
EDUCATION PROTECTS
In the remote villages where we work, we see the same reality again and again: Children who cannot read or write even after several years in school.
BLESSINGS AND CHALLENGES
In our last newsletter, we shared a glimpse into the often very difficult situations many families face here in Cambodia. The reasons why some people in Cambodia continue to live under extremely challenging conditions — and why some even fall victim to modern slavery — are complex and interconnected.
EXTREME SITUATIONS: BETWEEN THE RAINS AND THE DRY SEASON
For over five months now, Cambodia has seen almost no widespread rainfall.
The dry season has caused many waterholes and smaller rivers to dry up, and April is particularly hot—a real challenge for both nature and people.
VIOLENCE AND ABUSE
Looking back on the past year, we are deeply grateful for all that has been made possible. We shared some of this in our last newsletter.
Now, as we look ahead to the new year, we see a lot of work before us.
CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS TOGETHER - SHARING HOPE
We were able to conclude this incredible year with Christmas celebrations in all of these communities.
Each of these was our very first public gathering in the villages with a message of hope and faith.
At the beginning of the year, we had just selected the communities where we are now working.
OVER 1,000 CHILDREN EQUIPPED FOR SCHOOL!
Since most families in the communities where we work struggle to afford school supplies, we specifically raised donations to make this possible. This allowed us to participate in four school year-end ceremonies, helping to organize them and distribute over 750 complete school packages.
TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION
Our team had the opportunity during this time to meet with the key leaders of the villages and schools. These meetings were important to bring the village leaders closer together, so they could support one another more effectively, and to share our vision with them once again.
NEXT STEP: MOVING FORWARD, STEP BY STEP
Our team has already built strong relationships and is getting to know more families and their unique situations every day. The work is beginning to bear fruit, and we now have the first larger projects lined up on our community “to-do” list.
FULLY ENGAGED IN THE FIELD
We are now fully active in the communities. Through our work, we are gaining an ever-deeper understanding of the challenges and needs that each community faces.
