$1000 donation to NCCLA

We recently made a US$1000 donation to the New Cambodian Children's Life Association (NCCLA) to help them with day to day running costs at the orphanage. They have found life very difficult of late, the global recession has hit them too, both directly and indirectly.

The money was gratefully received, as the email from Neth below will testify:

"Please be informed that the sum amount of $1000 donated from you last week now it is well arrived to NCCLA already since Friday last week. This support is absolutely vital; without this we all would really have difficulties owing to the Cambodia economic crisis and almost all of the countries in the world go down in terms of this, and up to now it has not yet been better.

I would like to take this time to express my deep thank all of your friends in UK all of them are very kind and generous to contribute to raising fund in order to help orphans and poor children in Cambodia.

For the business at the Veiyo at the moment the sale is very slow in this season, as this month there are not so many customers. We are in Cambodia is having a tough time surviving as many more (10,000 people) lost their jobs because of the Hun Sen Government closed their Casino through out the Kingdom of Cambodia. But Mr. Alan and English Friends, Neth Thavy + Staff will never forget our job to the poor and parentless children by continue our work and helping NCCLA. You and all of us here try our best as much as we can afford even though the economy is so bad. Together we strive hard to live better life...in Cambodia.

Finally, we wish you and all in the UK happiness, good health, longevity, strength, in order to continue helping the orphans and poor children under the care of NCCLA and Many all the sacred things in the world to guard you at all times and success in all your future endeavors. With love and gratitude, The Children, Staff and Neth of the NCCLA."

Neth recently had some more sad news when his grandmother passed away. She had been a big part of the NCCLA family and will be profoundly missed by all. The photo below shows the children during the recent period of mourning.


Neth assures me that they are all moving on positively, and trust that his grandmother will be reborn into a new, happy life.

Thank you all for your fantastic support, past, present and future!

Best wishes,

Alan.
