President Peter congratulated on receiving MOU certification

If you’ve ever gone on a long, extremely difficult, dangerous and exhausting slog, (almost like fighting a war) and felt the exhilaration upon achievement of the goal, you’ll understand our emotions as the Ministry of Social Concerns hosted a recognition reception for the delivery of our Memorandum of Understanding.

We were fighting for our existence. It was six months of painful and often contentious preparation, compromise and negotiation, but the kind words of encouragement spoken at the reception made us look like true heroes. We were held up as the largest and best model, Non-Government-Organization (NGO) for care of orphans in Cambodia. It made front-page news in several Cambodian newspapers and national Television. Thank God it is over for three years!
