The children are ages 8 months to 16 years old, with the majority being under 10 years old.  They are being cared for in temporary grass houses, squatting on borrowed land.  We urgently need to re-locate the children.

The water source is a stagnant pond which is used for drinking, cooking, bathing and washing clothes.  Their food is vegetables supplemented by little fish caught in the same pond.  It is essential to build a new center immediately to get the children out of this deplorable condition as quickly as possible.  With this money being raised, can accomplish the initial construction in two months. 

The children will attend government school half of the day and education will be supplemented by teachers (both Cambodian and foreign) at the
new center.  The new property is only 500 yards from a government school, so easily accessible to our children as well.  In the long term we will be working to help improve the quality of government education as well.
