New Experience

Soo was taking these pictures for me, and as you can see there was a number of people getting the fish massage.

This was a birthday gift from my friend Jane. This was my first experience with a fish foot massage. It really tickles your feet and was nice. They eat the dead skin off your feet which sounds kinda gross, but it was a fun experience.

Takam Village

These are pigs being taken to the market.

Here are some shots that were taken going and coming from the village that I thought were interesting and had not seen before. These are chickens being taken to the market both the pigs and chickens are alive and tied to the motocycles.

The People for Care and Learning boat

This is where I will have the clinic. I will be working out of the room where you see the door way on the right. What you are viewing here is the English and Khmi classes being taught here on the boat daily. There are morning and afternoon classes.

The Tonle Sap Lake

This shot is just a very small portion of the village along the dirt path called a road on the Tonle Sap Lake.

This is the view behind the PCL boat where I will begin the clinic on March 30th. What you are viewing is fishing boats and tour boat in the forefront.

It looks totally different than it did in November when I was here with the team. It is now rice fields until the rain season comes again starting in June. This will all be under water again in a few months.

Francesca's Tuk Tuk driver

Dinner at Frisco's on the river front. In the background is another restruant across the street. We were on the third floor.

You guessed it, the river front. This was a tourist boat.

He was very nice and accommadating. He drove me around so I could get some pictures of the city.

The Director of Clinics Pnh

This is the museum in Phnom Penh, which I did not tour.

This is one of several entrances to the King's palace. There are of course guards everywhere.

This is Francesca, she has been a missionary for three years and she works with Mission Possible. She is in charge of the clinics and the Community Christian School that is in a village about 50miles outside of Phnom Penh. We went to the river front my last night there for dinner. It was very nice. She had squid and I had fish and chips.

Second Clinic in Phnom Penh

The pictures you are viewing today are in the Phum Kong Village and this is the doctor. His English was not very good so I did not get his name.

Second Clinic in Phnom Penh

This group of young people help at the clinics, from left is the driver, the triage and the young lady dispenses the medications as the doctor orders. They do this very well to.
Here you are viewing just a small portion of the village next to the clinic which is a room in the village.

Clinic entrance.

This is a real slum area about two or three miles out of the city. It is just behind the industrial park. We did not see very many patients during this clinic because there was a celebration of some sort that morning to do with the Chief of the village. and beyond the village there was a duck farm which consisted of three blue tarps thrown over some stick poles and a pond. The driver told me the people and the ducks drink the same water. It's a very sad situation. There is hope however.

Clinic

This was a new clinic opening that I assisted Dr. Sentnareth with on Saturday. We saw 42 patients in 3.5 hrs. They had everything from pneumonia to TB. The doctor said he also believes that many need to be tested for Hepitits B & C. They work in the fields and the water is very contaminated. Some of the people have parisites under the skin because they have no protection, as in gloves. I will assist in another clinic here in Phnom Penh tomorrow. The very last patient we saw just wanted to share her testimony with us. If you look at the little girl standing next to her mother, she actually died by drowning recently and they pulled her from the water she was lifeless, so the took her to the grandmother and she prayed over her to God and the child began to breathe again and was completely restored. Praise God!

Food

For those brave souls that like to live on the edge, here are some Cambodian treats. They tell me these are tasty, but I'll take their word for it. What you are viewing is crichets, roaches and quails. Their were to brave guys that really stepped out there and tried Bulug which is an aborted baby duck that they boil in the shell and eat it. Look at their faces and you'll see how much they enjoyed it.

The Saturn Project

Alex and the children warming up for the concert.

Some of the crowd at the concert. The concert was held in a large area across from the new learning center.

Jesse was singing his heart out.

This was the first concert in Phnom Penh for Saturn.

The Dedication

The Dedication

This was at the dedication ceremony for the opening of the new PCL learning center in Phnom Penh. I was honored to be a part of this great accomplishment for People for Care and Learning.

The children standing at the side were right next to me watching the government official speak.

My Heart

This is the love of my life. My great nephew 16mos. old His name is Rob.

My First 13hrs. of Flight to Cambodia

I met this little fella on my flight over while I was walking the length of the plane to stretch my legs. I looked at him and smiled and he put out his little arms with a smile, so I asked his mother Tranz if I could hold him and she said yes. His name is Dylan he is 14 months old, what a beautiful baby! Dylan's mom was very surprised that he took to me instantly and so was I.

New Hope Orphanage Phnom Penh

This is one orphange in Phnom Penh we visited. They are beautiful children, there were about 35 children living there. The rooms are small and no beds as you will see in the pictures. This orphange was started by two orphans. They have been supported by PCL for the last year and are doing much better than they were. The two young men in the front were playing with the children, on the left is Jesse Santoyo and his brother Alex. They are part of the group The Saturn Project from America who are touring and promoting their new CD, all proceeds will goto PCL to help the orphans and others who live in poverty.

Takam Village

This the village that Anyu lives in with his mother and sister.

Heat

Hi everyone, I made it here and it is very hot. Things are going well. I will be going to observe and assist in starting a new clinic in Phnom Penh on Friday. I will stay there for a week or so and then return to Seim Reap to start clinic on the Tonle Sap Lake. Please continue to pray for us. I was able to go to the village and see Anyu today, he now has a face, he just returned to his village for the first time on Weds. since his surgery in Nov. Everyone in the village was happy to see us.
