View our latest mission trips to Cambodia here.
Mission Direct has in the past worked in partnership with a Cambodian NGO, Serve Cambodia, for over 15 years.
This local Christian organisation is closely affiliated to the Fellowship of Hope Church network and through their three education centres they serve the needs of people living in poverty and displaced communities, to help them develop and become self-sufficient.
However, our focus is now moving from Phnom Penh to a remote rural community in the northern province of Preah Vihear. Our partners Mr Meng Oum and his wife Sreylin, of the Fellowship of Hope Church, along with their young daughter Emma, have made the sacrificial move to relocate to Preah Vihear where they have started an outdoor school for 60 village children.
As this is a new location we will be guided by the Fellowship of Hope as to afternoon visits. However, we hope to run various fun activities for the children including assemblies, playing games and there will be time for provision of simple health education to families and hair washing.
Hair washing is popular as it not only provides children with a sense of being valued but helps to control head lice in the community!
We will have the opportunity to learn from our partners and friends who live and work in Cambodia. They can teach us about the local culture, the Pol-Pot Genocide, Buddhism, and some of the realities of everyday life. The life story of Pastor Sara is particularly memorable and inspirational.
