Visited Map and Nyet in their village yesterday. Cannot believe the size of the new baby, how do these babies get to be so chubby when there's such a lack of food for the families - amazing! We delivered clothes donated by Ella and Charlie (my grandchildren). The girls were very happy but the boys don't seem to care whether they wear any clothes at all.
We have plans to put a well in their village - this part of Cambodia is extremely dry and they have a desperate need for clean water. Vanthon gave out supplies of soap and shampoo with instructions what to do with them "this is 'lifeboy' you wash your body'.
Huoy has been back to the eye clinic for treatment - she has been swimming and the eye needed to be kept dry after the operation. The state of the water they swim in it's a wonder she has any sight at all. The doctor is very surprised how the one eye has improved, but this will be as far as we can go with improving the sight - her next step is rehabilitation to improve her ability to live a normal life. It's a great improvement
compared to what she was like when I met her.
