Hock’s Story

Hock is one of our children that came to LIA when he was 18 months. He is now six years old and going to kindergarten. He is like a old man in a little boy’s body. He walks with a swagger to his step. Really tickle’s your funny bone to watch him! Hock comes from Siam Reap and was brought to Ruth by his father as his mother had left them and his father did not want him. Hock had a few issues about getting his own way at first but dealing with it correctly soon fixed this. Our Hock is a real leader and even at an early age we recognized these qualities in his life. He has been with us since early 2005. He looks after his other younger mates in our home. Whenever he gets a treat he would also asked for each of them. Whenever they have to get together he was is the one gathering them up. He is a good boy and picks up english very well. He’s a little fella for his age as most of the children are. Maybe he could be the next Prime Minister ? We are glad to have little guys like this come to LIA at such an early age!

Daniel's Story

Daniel Benjamin is another one of our little promises God has given us at LIA Cambodia. He came to us at twelve days old, not yet named and a very small helpless little bundle. So here he is, our Daniel Benjamin to show you all. His mother carreid him through her pregnancy in the knowledge she had HIV AIDS and was having treatment for it. Daniel does not carry the virus. She is another victim of the cruel virus of HIV AIDS that is sweeping through this nation like a bush fire. She is thirty-eight years old. She is alone with no one to care for her. Ruth was made aware of this situation through one of the mothers who's children we have had in our LIA family for four years.This mother assists Daniel's mum by caring for her as she becomes increasingly weak with this ugly virus.We give assistance to her through LIA's Poverty Assistance Program. This program has helped her with food, clothing and medication to ease her suffering and rent for the land where she lives in a palm leaf shack.... Daniel is now nine months old. Ruth personally bonds with and has hands on care with each newborn child when they come into our LIA nursery home based on the same premises as herself. Ruth knows this is an important part of her call and work in this nation and LIA's helping to bring in the new generation of Cambodia. Daniel's mother may not have long to live but she wanted her young baby to go to Ruth and LIA so that he could grow up to be a man of integrity and have "a future and a hope". Daniel will be given our love and care and we commit ourselves to his welfare.
