CHANGING LIVES IN CAMBODIA – the testimony of one family
December 2009

Chheng Rann lives in Thnol Baik village Tror Paing Rossey commune, Kampong Thom Village. When Chheng Rann’s husband gambled and drank away the family’s money and jewelry, she didn’t dare to fight back. After a serious of illness, her husband died, it was even worse. She had to care for their six children, she would take any jobs to provide for them. Together with her 14 years old son, they would work in the field, sometimes she would have to take things to the market to sell, and these kinds of trips could take her away from home for a month or more, so the children are left on their own. She became miserable, angry and bitter, quarreling with her neighbors and crying as she plowed her rice field.

Then Feed the Hungry came to town, Chheng Rann offered her home as a cooking place as well as a place where children can come to eat and have meetings. Through the ministry you support of feeding children in Cambodia, children came, not just eating together but learning and reading together. Through her children, Chheng Rann became a believer and her whole attitude changed, she is now a much happier person. This feeding program allows her children and others to be able to continue their studying after helping their families in the field. She doesn’t worry about anything now but learn to trust and to pray. She invites donors continue to pray for her and her family !
