Successful Surgery for Anyu! 
 
We have great news to report on Anyu!  The surgeons from France arrived in Cambodia this week and removed the tumor on Anyu's face this past Wednesday. We delayed our Thanksgiving newsletter to bring you the news.  We are pleased to report that the surgery was successful and Anyu is improving well above what the doctor's expected.

Anyu will need several more reconstructive surgeries including dental work.  His healing process is long and will require much support.  Please consider helping PCL with the cost of helping Anyu.

PCL & "Missione Possibile" Collaborate
   
Shirley and I met with Gerry and Manwella Testori in Milan, Italy this October to continue to solidify the partnership between PCL and Missione Possibile.  Missione Possibile is a faith-based non-profit organization working alongside PCL in Cambodia. The Testori's have traveled to the U.S. to meet with PCL and this was our opportunity to return the favor.
