Dear Friends,
We hope all is well with you and yours. As many of you know we were recently up in Stung Treng province visiting the preschool/kindergarten and computer lab we support. While we were there we went to visit the hospital in Stung Treng. The hospital is a referral hospital for the whole province serving a population of 180,000 people. It is the only hospital in Stung Treng Province. Last year we helped the hospital by providing a permanent, plumbed in oxygen system, for the emergency ward. This year we once again met with the director and the neonatal intensive care staff as well.
They asked us to help them again by providing a permanent oxygen system and purified air system for the children’s ICU ward. We visited the ward and it was very moving, there were so many small babies and the old oxygen bottles they were using were problematic due to transport and dirt infiltration. There was also no way to supply the children with purified air due to the constant dust in Cambodia in the dry season, they needed a solution. Seeing the very small ill babies was incredibly moving and we felt we had to help these poor children, their families and the hospital.

Thanks to our wonderful donors we were able to provide these two life saving systems. Needless to say the staff, parents and the Hospital Director were incredibly grateful that K.I.D.S. could assist with this much needed infrastructure.

Thanks to our donors these beautiful children will achieve a strong start to life. The Director, Doctors and Nurses asked us to pass on their huge gratitude for helping the hospital help these children get a healthy start in life. We also want to Thank You All for your support, kindness and generosity.
Wishing you and yours all the very best,
Adrianne and Rick
