None of us can change    the whole world but each one of us can change a little bit of it ! 

          Da & Peaktra's Story 

 This is a sad story but also one that has a future connected to it. Da and Peaktra came to us three and a half years ago while still quite young. Their mother brought them to Ruth on one of her trips to collect children from the province of Siam Reap eight hours from Phnom Pehn. At that time this mother knew she had contracted HIV which soon turned into full blown aids                                                                                                                        She wanted her children to have a future and a hope and asked Mummy Ruth to take them, love and care for them as her own. This, Ruth did with great pleasure and they have thrived under our care at Love in Action. The pictures above show this family together a few weeks before their mother died. She was gaunt and very weak yet somehow she endured the eight hour trip to see her children and take them back one final time for Khmer New year holidays. Ruth and Tracey looked at her with great compassion all they could do was comforted her give her some funds, nice clothes to wear before they all set off back to Siam Reap.   

We reflected on how great a mothers love is and what a mother will endure for her children. It can’t help but remind us of how great God’s love is for us. Da and Peaktra are brilliant in their studies. Da aims to be an accountant . Peaktra is a brilliant musician in learning & playing the piano. This is the legacy one mother’s love can leave her children, the legacy of hope.

Lets be reminded : How Great the Father’s love for us how great beyond all measure.  That He would give his only son to make a wretch His Treasure.  That’s you and I ....
