Dear Friends,
We hope all is well with you and yours. As some of you may know, Cambodia is facing a very difficult time. The current invasion of Thailand into Cambodia has been devastating in Cambodia/Thailand border areas. Thousands and thousands of people are fleeing their homes and finding shelter in other parts of the country; more than 400,000 people have been displaced. Thailand has begun to use airstrikes and are attacking cultural and historic sites as well as military targets. We are safe in the area we are in so far.
When we heard of how many people were struggling, we got together with a school and a friend we work with here. We bought needed items and we filled some trucks and went to the countryside where refugees have gathered at pagodas. We delivered items such as, two tons of rice, food, cooking oil, mosquito nets, blankets, tents, milk and formula for babies.

Many people are staying at pagodas and the monks are helping them as well. The families were so grateful and who knows when this invasion will stop. There is also a countrywide effort from locals, school children, and businesses to support the flood of refugees fleeing the conflict.

We will continue to assist the refugees as much as we can. It was very hard to see how the people are surviving, sleeping on wooden or cement floors or worse yet on the dirt. Some were sleeping on open trailers they use for hauling rice from the field.
