Without a clean area to prepare food and wash pots its very hard in Cambodia to stop the children from becomming ill and contracting diseases such as typhoid. The orphanage near the genocide museum looks after 18 children but has never had a proper kitchen. Thanks to generous donations spurred by the Honeycomb Trust in Nottingham and some personal contributions from family and friends we were able to change this within 5 days. Having a knack for stretching money we were also able to build an outdoor washroom where the children are now able to wash their hands and faces, brush their teeth and clean their clothes in the traditional Khmer way. Those 5 days were a flurry of activity with the children pitching in wherever they could. They were so excited.
