We continue to give varying amounts of support to the S E Asian organizations we work with. The majority of our donations are from sponsors specifically for the Palm House (now called Nehemiah Blessing Home but bank a/c is Palm House), in Cambodia as we are their only means of support. We are also helping Narin to complete the first childrens home "My Fathers House" in Boriram Province Thailand.
