British missionary couple coming to Cambodia for two weeks
24th January
Deprived Cambodian children to receive vital aid in overseas trip
DEPRIVED children in Cambodia will receive vital aid as a Christian couple volunteer their time and skills.
Deborah Vine and her husband Michael, from Radcliffe, are returning to Phnom Penh - Cambodia's capital - next month. They will work in Cambodian slums, building a home for villagers, and in three schools, training teachers and helping to resource classrooms.
Mrs Vine, aged 54, said: "The families in this area rely on scavenging on the tip to feed their families and the children pay an essential role in that. We are trying to break that cycle of poverty by educating the children.
"Phnom Penh is in a village of high incidence of HIV. The principle aim is to encourage children into school.
This is the couple's second annual trip, organised by Christian charity Mission Direct, which enables volunteers to travel and work alongside some of the world's poorest.
During their two-week visit, they will work closely with Mission Direct's partner Serve Cambodia.
Mr and Mrs Vine first heard about the project through friends at their home church, St Andrew's in Radcliffe, which supports Mission Direct. Mr Vine, aged 61, said: "We joined our friends on a visit to Cambodia last year. We felt honoured to be able to use our skills in such a deprived country. "We came home feeling extremely passionate about returning this year."
Development engineer Mr Vine will assist with a building project to create permanent homes for those living in the slums. One house costs around £6,500 to build.
He will also be training pastors from Serve Cambodia.

I think a lot of Cambodians already know how to build a brick wall and listen to fairy tales. But, I guess it makes the Brits feel good.
You could be next.

Their motives are purely selfish. Evangelists believe it is their religious duty to convert all heathens, in order to ensure their own salvation.
Same applied to Abraham Lincoln, who hated blacks with a vengeance. His opposition to slavery was based on the premise that slavery was abhorrent to God and that He may enact retribution on whites who condoned it.

There’s no chance of him arriving within a year, never mind a month, if that’s how he’s rendering that wall.
