Dear Friends,
We hope the new year is off to a good start. We are happy to say that K.I.D.S. has just completed another clean drinking water system for a poor rural village school, a special thank you to Fergus and Penny MacCourt from Nanaimo.
We visited Samrong Khnarphor last year with our friend and partner Kim Thol. Kim assists us in finding schools that are in need of support and often off the beaten path. This little school is no exception. Here the 280 children are either crammed into what was the kitchen to study kindergarten, inside the three walled community shelter, outside in the dirt or in run down and broken small wooden classrooms. There is one classroom that is okay but still has only wire for walls.
The teachers are dedicated and teach in these conditions as they believe, as we do, that every child deserves an education.
Bringing clean drinking water to these children helps these kids to avoid suffering from illness and dehydration and they are so happy to have clean
safe water to drink on a daily basis. It is great to see the kids growing their own garden so that they can add some greens to their breakfast provided by the World Food Program.
We will also be getting bikes for some of the kids who will be traveling long distances to high school next term.
With Gratitude from All,
Adrianne and Rick
