As of October 1, 2010, we have received $8,175.00 in donations, just $1825 short of our goal. We have used all of these funds to provide for the children for the past 5 months.
Your donations have provided rice and fresh market food for the 30 children for five months – a very special support of the basic needs of the children. They come from the rural villages, where getting enough to eat is a daily challenge. Now they are secure with three meals a day, all the rice they can eat (like 2-3 plates a meal!) and healthy vegetables and meat and fish.
We recently reduced our meat consumption by 50% by restricting the two offerings at each meal to one vegetable dish with meat, one vegetarian, rather than both with meat. This is in the interest of good health and sustainable living on the planet, and the children have adjusted without any problems – very strong and healthy, thanks to the excellent cooks who care for them.
Our monthly budget expense for rice and food is $1500.00 Your continuing donations today will help us reach our goal and fund the next month.
Thank you to all those who have supported this project fund – you make the project possible, feed the kids, and get them ready for attending school!
On their behalf, and on behalf of the Board of the Friends of the Children of Cambodia, as well as the dedicated staff that cares for them – THANK YOU!!!
