Dear Friends and Partners,
This week the month of December begins. It is a month of anticipation and hope – a month where many around the world celebrate the advent of Christmas – it’s a time when we plan our giving for others and wait in excitement to see what our gifts will be. It is also a time of refection of the year past and looking forward to the New Year that will come. December is an exciting month.
In Cambodia, December is just another month – there is no Christmas – no anticipation. And yet within our Tabitha families every month is one full of anticipation. The family of Lon Hout knows of this excitement. Lon and his wife have seven children – they live meanly in a tiny hut shared with his parents.
All of them joined the savings program this past year and six months into the program they saved enough to get a well. With the savings and well came chickens and crops, vegetables to eat and for sale. Water helped nourish the work of their hands and kept their bodies’ clean.
The children had a dream – a dream to be able to go to school but school was to far away to walk to. They had a dream for a bicycle and the miracle happened - each child with a bicycle of their own-new dishes and pots and pans- a few pieces of new clothes. As Lon and his family continue their journey out of poverty, each month is full of anticipation of the next miracle in their lives.
This month we have a campaign – a campaign that will enable more of our families to live in anticipation of a better life. This month we invite all of you to our Light A Christmas Tree campaign. We ask that you forgo one present this year – instead donate this amount and light up a Christmas Tree on our web site.
Click on the tree to see how to donate:
In order to donate just click on this link and choose the country you wish to donate through. https://tabitha-cambodia.org/edonates/form
Our goal is to light up 1000 trees this Month of December. Send us a quick email about your donation and we will light up your tree on our web site. How good that will be!
December – a month of hope and anticipation – how grateful I am to my God that this is so. How grateful I am that all of you stand with us in celebrating this holiday season.
