So its been a GOOD 6 months since i last blogged.... what to say - robberies that cost me more than $5000 then general problems - and my beautiful orphans plus the children i teach as well as a selfishness or an unselfishness to not want to share me bitterness with the rest of the world when i am surrounded every day by those 100000 X worse off than me....
But after 4 months of health problems and being diagnosed and treated with everything from gout to DVT to parasites and dengi fever i decided after i could not get out of bed for a week it was time to go home - the tests they wanted to do could not be done in Phnom Penh and in Bangkok or Saigon they would cost over $800 so it was worth it to buy the plane ticket back here to "paradise". The people here are the same and have no idea what poverty is.... some in the nicest way saying that the $20 they give to my organization per month is nothing - not knowing just how much we NEED that $20 and that the $20 feeds 8 children for 1 week.... then there are those that cannot give cause you know - the stock market is not doing so well!!!??? yet they still afford all of life's extras... how to explain that we are not after big money
good news is there is hope and i hope to have more news regarding fundraising for our now 15 orphans as well as my health!!! will update soon!
