Our Mission:We are dedicated to train Cambodian midwifes to be a professional and trustworthy partner for expectant mothers, to protect her from the dangers of childbirth and to help her adjust to the challenges of a newborn child.

Our Vision is to make pregnancy and childbirth safe in rural Cambodia.

Clinic day 19 April 2011

Kanya (August in Khmer) has been very ill and we are still concerned for her. She was living at the wat (its like being a street person in the US) but now has moved in with her mother who is 75... she has 2 kids and is pregnant with #3 but has no husband. We fear she has something wrong with her over all health but we are unsure what it is... please keep her in your prayers.



1.9 kilos 4 pounds! Even though she was sick last week! Praise the Lord!

 
Little Channy is bigger than my hands now... but not much!

 This is little Channy preemie baby's big sister.

Sothy giving her first shot!

Meng clinic social worker loves this little boy so she had to kiss him lots.

8 days old has no clothes. We gave him 3 outfits and a hat...

Almost one month old. So fair and light brown hair. We teased the mom she has a white husband.

One of our regular customers got a doll but despite his mom bringing him every week he is fine and healthy!

This guy only 1 week old.
