New facility in Prek Pneu

We (Asian Hope) just signed a lease on a facility in Prek Pneu where we can base our Village Development Program out of. It is a house that was previously occupied by a Khmer family. It worked great as I was hosting a team here when we signed the lease. It was perfect since we could use the team to help clean the place before we start painting/renovating....etc. When we got to the house to clean on the agreed upon day, the family was only about 20% moved out. So the first hour or so was spent moving the family out.  Since they were just moving into the house right behind their other house, they told us we could just set everything outside...so thats what we did.
Once the cleaning commenced, we realized just how much of a mess it was. Filthy!! There was dust that looked like it had been accumulating for years. The floors needed a hose more than a broom. And the spider webs were so large and plentiful, they should have been charged rent. Regardless, we tackled the task.  With a team of 12 and 3 AH staff, we put in a total of 90 man-hours and the place actually looked like it could house a ministry. Yeah!! Thanks God for your timing.
We really look forward to watching the building take shape. Please take a look at this link Prek Pneu Facility to find an album of pictures from the new facility. I will update once we begin painting, furnishing and bringing the kids and families in. Thanks for joining us on the journey. Please keep this new ministry in your prayers.
