Team Involvement & Volunteers

Orphanage
There is always something to do in the homes with our many children.
Our children range in age from new born to teenagers.
The teams have hands on involvement in the day to day running of the orphanage from painting, building projects and repairs around the compound, teaching English, to general assistance with the children and of course having lots of fun. Half of the children go to school in the mornings and the other half of an afternoon, so they are always around.
Medical Clinics
There is also great need in the area of medical aid to the poor which we give monthly in the form of clinics or weekly on a one to one basis within Phhom Penh.
Ruth with the team travels for three hours by van to our other home, in a town called Svay Reing near the Vietnam border. Upon arriving, we set up outdoors usually under a tree as this is the most practical way of treating the many people that come for medical assistance. Some of these people walk for hours to be treated.
If a person needs more serious treatment we try to get them to a hospital for extra assistance.We can have up to three hundred people in one day go through these clinics.
The team then stays in our Svay Reing home overnight and returns back to Phnom Penh the next day.
Team members do not need any medical expertise, as Ruth is experienced in medical aid. Just being there to assist in giving out medication, bandaging etc is helpful. We usually entertain the children while the people are waiting to have this medical assistance. Your ability to entertain children in any way is useful in this situation.
Other Charitable Works
Ruth has rapport with other non-government organizations around the city of Phnom Penh as well as other parts of the country, so we can arrange for the team to help in these works if desired.
These include feeding programs, medical aid, training, aid work and other areas of NGO works.
There is much to do and the labourers are few !
