Hello CACO,

Thank you for kindly contributing in monetary, as well as the medicines which was donated to the local school and the poor.

I would like to share with you that my journey to Cambodia was an experience that will never be forgotten. Our country is so beautiful, so full of life, but also a place in much need of help. My son wanted to visit Angkor Wat; we toured Angkor site for two days. My daughter wanted to see the splendors of the country side; we went to Takeo Province two times simply because of the sheer beauty and the amazing people we met along the way and have touched us so dearly. I wanted to show my children where my birth place was. I took them around the rice field. This is an experience that I wish all families should take. Because it makes us appreciate and feel blessed with what we have, mo matter how small. Compared to the majority of the people in Cambodia, it is much more than what they will ever have in their lifetime.

My son and I were very fortunate to have the opportunity to be part of the BOBism experience. We went around my birth place and seek old poor people. We gave out $10 per person to the elders we encountered. They were so happy; they cried and gave us endless amounts of heartfelt blessings. I can not describe the feeling in that moment until you experience it for yourself. A saying that our elders told me and have stuck in my mind is “go back, give back”. I’m humbled and blessed by this opportunity to experience BOBism with my son and daughter and again, extend my most sincere appreciation.

Sincerely,


Sotia Teing
