Denise & I were honored to host Josiah & Kristin Smith, the Los Angeles MERCY Directors, who are also spearheading our Fundraising Campaign for the CSW-MERCY (Cambodia Social Welfare – MERCY) Orphanage!
of anticipation as this was their very first
international flight together!
Their five day visit was action packed! Our main objective: Create a promotional video of the orphanage – the kids, us, General Chhem, the staff and the orphanage grounds! This would be a needed vehicle to raise funds in support of the CSW-MERCY partnership to better the lives of the 53 children that currently reside here!
breakfast to review their itinerary for the
four days on the ground!
To have them better understand the culture, we visited the infamous “Killing Fields.” During the Pol Pot regime in the 1970’s, 2,000,000 Cambodians were executed many of which died in the Killing Fields!
Killing Fields Monument is…
from Pol Pot’s murderous regime!
with a Mekong River Cruise! With a shoe-string
budget, Nick rented the boat for $30 and
all the sisters brought delicious
Cambodian food!
The majority of the Smiths’ and Bordieris’ time was spent filming at the orphanage!
in the evening at the orphanage!
first day at the orphanage was Friday!
Pray for Josiah & Kristin to edit the promotional video in such a way as to move many hearts to give to the CSW-MERCY Orphanage! Pray as well for our two year goal to increase the number of children in the orphanage to 100!
