Team from Washington Begins Demolition of Old Children's Home Dorm

The girls at the Siem Reap, Cambodia Children's Home are excited as the work has begun on their badly needed new dorm. First, the old building had to be taken down piece by piece as Cambodia does not have the machinery we have to do demolition.

Approximately 12 of the team of 30 people from the New Life Fellowship Church of God in Longview Washington braved the Cambodian heat and tackled this task. After three days the job was all but completed. Now Cambodians will assume the tasks of completing the new dorm.

The International School of Leadership Development

(ISOLD) hosted a conference for leaders throughout Cambodia. Over 120 came to be taught by Charles and Alice Fischer of Washington State.

There are 10 ISOLD schools in Cambodia and 10 in other countries of the world.

Pastor Charles Fischer interacts with students of the 3000 student public school. PCL staffers and visiting team members now have 9 "English-as-second-language" classes in this school alone, reaching hundreds of Khmer youth every day of the week.

PCL "Teachers Class"

A Class for Teachers was held at the Downtown Center in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Members of the Longview Washington Team provided teacher training to about 70 workers. These teachers did an outstanding job in the on-going process of leadership training.

People from all types of fields attended as well as many well-known organizations such as World Vision.

Puppets Teach Hygiene on the Tonle Sap Lake

Two puppets and members of the Longview, Washington team delighted children and adults from the Tonle Sap Lake, where over one million people live in floating houseboats.

The puppets taught the importance of brushing their teeth and taking care of their hair. The entire group of children and parents were captivated by the love shown from this team.

Men and Women of Action from South Carolina paid for and launched this boat this past June.
