Orphanage Aid Report 2015: Cambodia – Against The Grain Productions

We are proud to announce that our volunteers on the ground in Cambodia recently provided much-needed food and supplies to our supported orphanages in the region. Special thanks to Ms. Bin Navy, a relative of ATG Advisor to Cambodia Ms. Thear Sy Suzuki, and her friends Mr. Ngoun Rith and Mr. Sok Kry from the New Jerusalem Church in Cambodia, who helped make the purchases and disburse the donations.

The 98 orphans we were able to help attend small local churches in various villages. The 11 churches included:

Living Water Church in Phnom Penh
Sayav Church in Kompong Speu Province

6 bottles fish sauce
6 bottles soy sauce
10 cans sardines
5 packets of notebooks
5 packages of pens
5 packages of pencils

In addition, small gifts were provided for each orphan as a nice surprise. Special thanks to our Advisor Thear Sy Suzuki for her contribution of $300 to cover transportation and meal expenses for our volunteers!
