A Beacon of Light in Cambodia
This building (The Booting) is known for its child sex tourism and it’s located in the heart of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. When we first visited this building in 2011 with the Water of Life ministry we were deeply touched and saddened to see the horrible things that these small children were being exposed to, often by their own families! You see, across from this building is a very nice hotel where foreigners stay. They stay in this hotel because of its proximity to this building where they can cross the street and access the Booting to then purchase small children.
We then got a chance to visit the vulnerable people of this building a second time in 2012 meeting more of the residents. We had fun handing out candy and making balloons with these dear kids, while sharing Jesus Christ with many of the adults. But what and how would this building be changed, how would these little lives be protected?
Shortly after our second visit in Oct 2012 the opportunity became clear. Water of Life shared that they were planning to rent an apartment in the middle of this dark building where they would minister to these young kids and provide food, clothing, bible study, and plans to start a medical clinic in the future. Here was our opportunity as they asked us to help sponsor the rent for this new apartment that would be a beacon of light in a very dark place. They are now holding weekly activities to minister to these vulnerable children and many lives are being changed! Not to mention their watch dog approach to exposing potential predators that enter the building.
We are so grateful that we get to help, and this is why we have added this project to our store. When you purchase our Fair Trade coffee or apparel products, upon checking out you are able to select this project. We then give 35% of our profit directly to this cause to help pay for rent and the necessary supplies.
