As I leave Cambodia, and return to comfortable, middle class, ordinary Australia, my thoughts are somewhat jumbled. How come I live in such wealth and comfort, and Cambodia has so many who cannot imagine my daily experience of plenty? What is my ongoing responsibility now that I know that there are so many who are so poor? Such a little of what I have could make a huge difference in the homes I have been in.
There is a new work in Cambodia and even as I write, 40 children attend their first education session at the Transform Centre, Boueng Salang, Phnom Penh. Four Khmer teachers, a Khmer administrator and a Khmer cook, will give these children love, care and hope with the gentle servant hearted leadership of Patrick and Carol Kelly. The message of love and hope these people bring to this community has the power to Transform Cambodia. Linda
