Volunteers?

We have space for volunteers to help out at the school.

We are a Khmer school that has need for English teachers, art's, music, sports or other languages.  We are hoping for two guest, three at the very most.  It is very easy for us to accommodate female volunteers and much more difficult for males but not impossible.

Also a person with abilities to do and complete small projects with construction or repair skills like the ability to build or weld is needed.  We have a number of little projects we'd like to complete with absolutely no time to even start them.  We understand the likely hood of this being a male volunteer but again special accommodations need to be arranged for male, not impossible.

Persons interested in coming should understand that positions are for volunteers and would need to provide support for themselves.
They should feel they are firmly grounded in a mature relationship with Jesus Christ that and feel they have a personality that fits well with others in a somewhat modest house hold and society.

The persons interested should be a self motivated, have good time management, flexible and have the ability to care for themselves.  The ability to pick up a second language is helpful in becoming self sufficient.

Above all persons interested should feel that they are called to the Mission field.

Please note that it we are in the county side, it tends to be hot and humid, it can be dirty and there are bugs of every kind.  You might often get sick and there are times when it can get pretty lonely.

At the same time while some of this seems discouraging,  past guest would agree their time was worth any hardships they've endured.

Interested?

Pray first and when the time is right send us an email to:

Firecracker Charity Golf Tournament presents a check

A growth in our college fund.

What a wonderful blessing that the charity out of Calvary Chapel of Fallbrook steadily increases every year.
I believe these new funds brings are ablitiy to provide a basic college education for 22 of our children at A Greater Hope. Thank you to those who did all the work and to those who gave this year.

Glory to God for continuing to bless His work thought us in Cambodia.

I don't know about you but I'm excited

 This summer has been short and successful.  

It seems nearly every day right now some good news flows in.  Some good thing happens, some connection is made or a door has opened for us.  

So the last couple weeks we have been blessed with teams.

We took the kids to the beach for their summer vacation.

Sanh our newest boy has accepted Christ.

A large number of our children where baptized.

 The 2 school building should be finished in a day or two.

We've had a lot of professionals come forward requesting to work for us.

Most of the classes are bursting to where we are turning down new students hourly.

We've registered way over 300 children and that was last week.

The workers are the most encouraging to it all of the blessings we have.  When we get a guy that has degrees in engineering and electrical wishing to go back to school to get a teaching cert. so he can work for the school.  

We have a guy working for the summer who is going to be our Ag. teacher knows carpentry and getting his degrees in Ag. and farming.

We have a lady to start who has her degree in Accounting and has an awesome resume of things she's done and learned and will be applying her skills with us.

We've hired a music teacher for the school and he will help lead church worship now

   

It's pretty cool place we are finding ourselves in.

Also these doors that are opening are moving us forward to the original goal of this school that has other subjects to study.  Very common through out the world but nearly unheard of here especially in the government school. 

  

The visions, goals and ideas God had given us in the past.  

It's happening !!!!!!!! 

I am wonderfully blessed to see and recognize that it is happening.  I am thrilled to know that we are actively being used by God.  It is unbelievable to be apart of doing something that blesses these people.

In between registering people Chenda helps Sam and Joe study.  

Buildings going up last week.

Yesterday

Bathrooms have started

The little green building in the back that use to be the first grade needs help.

Would you be interested in helping us with the cost to replace this one too?

 Each building now holds 2 classes.  The middle wall is not up yet.

Well be adding cement  

Furnishings interested in helping us with these costs?

Going to touch up the paint when the next team comes in.

In coming team will help with the landscaping.

 Finally the 1st month of chicken program is returning with success.

3 children have brought their chickens in.

The children are very excited since their chickens have grown really well and the local price is very high.  

The one boy was jumping up and down elated that his chicken and made 2 kilos in 40 days.

 The success of their project means they will be trusted with more.

I might guess that in 3 or 4 months they could pay off their chickens, pay for school and have a profit.

How about that?  

Some fun news.

Last week we caught a parrot.

Last night I caught 2 squirrels living in the chick house.

Today the boy caught a Myna bird.

 More photos as I promised sorry for the Camera fogging up, some are pretty bad.  

I am still trying to gather better ones from the other guest that were there.
