Cambodia 183

This is our second time we distributed this rice package for her. She approached us again, and begged for rice to eat. We learnt that she and her husband don’t have enough to eat. It was a bit difficult to reject her coming us begging us again. We visited her when we gave the rice. We saw her husband being drunk. We were wondering if the husband could really make a living for the family. The two live together as husband and wife, walking around the hill helping others or providing some labors for some food or cash at religious gathering. 

 Her name is Mou Sokheng, 55 years old. She lives with her violent husband. She has two children who are grown-up now. 

Her husband is alcoholic. Domestic violence is pretty common in her family. She makes a living from cleaning plates dishes during religious events in her hill community.

She also lives from asking food from people around. 

Her two grown up children also struggling with their income,  thus they can’t afford to support her. 

Status: Poor family with alcoholic and violent husband, 

Location: Korkrovieng village, Korkrovieng commune, Cheoung Prey district, Kompong Cham province.

Total expenses: $ 20

Thank you very much Mr. Bird for your kindness heart and staying with us with this difficult situation
