Tina and I joyfully continue monthly sponsorships of Sam and Say with $35 each month.
We have found that what we do for these kids brings us great personal satisfaction and will benefit them long after we are gone.
Australians, with the encouragement of Janis, are currently sponsoring all 39 of the children, but with the devaluation of the Australian Dollar and local inflation, the sponsorships now cover only half of the $2,750 of monthly operating costs the orphanage faces. The orphanage depends on chance visits from generous tourists and sporadic support from benefactors around the world to make up the difference. It is hit or miss, and Sitha and Srey Mom live in a constant state of worry about the welfare of their 39 children.
We would like to change that by giving you and others the opportunity to consider sponsoring a child!
If you are interested in the US or UK, please email me at: richcromwell1@gmail.com or in Australia email Alison at: mail@aliz.com.au and we will send you an electronic package, outlining the easy payment system, the benefits, orphanage financials, and children’s profiles. Then you can decide… your interest alone will be encouraging.
Our dream of building this unique family a permanent and safe home this last year has come to fruition. Our focus now turns to ensuring the orphanage has broad based monthly support through sponsorships, so that Sitha and Srey Mom’s great work of fostering healthy, happy, and well educated citizens for the new Cambodia can continue.
