It appears that missile strikes have occurred on both sides of the border, although the respective military heads are blaming each other for reigniting clashes.

The headline acts for the show are 'Search for a Star Australia' finalists Martina Douglas and John Standley, a couple of incredibly talented young artists that have to be seen to be believed.

Luckily he has a terrific leadership team at both of our primary schools and high school boarding house, so we can continue to deliver a first class education and nutritious meals to nearly 1200 young people in his absence.

I'm really pleased to be able to report that our biggest two weeks (three weekends) of fundraising activities for the year have garnered some fantastic support for our projects and delivered a terrific boost to our financial resources.

Our dedicated Supporting Cambodia project director Pastor Abe has been involved in a serious roadside accident in a remote part of the country

A massive thank you to those who turned up and volunteered on the day, donated delicious baked goods for us to sell, bought some of those goodies, offered a kind word or extra donation and the show society for putting on such a great event for our community.

In an attempt to underwrite our next emergency food aid program in Oddar Meanchey…for the month of October, every one-off donation of $200 or more will receive a polo and cap!

In recent weeks families have been able to return to their homes and our school in OM has reopened, but we've only just been able to secure enough food and safe transit for the emergency food aid program to occur.

Although officials have provided some assistance in the form of rudimentary shelters, hammocks and some food and water, our team described the conditions as "very distressing". 

The government is enforcing the evacuation of thousands of villagers from the region as the threat of more bloodshed looms, throwing families into turmoil.

Terrified students in our classrooms listened to gunfire most of the morning and for many of them at the end of the day then had to walk towards the battlefield to get to their homes.

Chum reap suor (g'day in Khmer), Yesterday marked the annual general meeting for Supporting Cambodia, an occasion I always look forward to each year as we set aside a bit of time to reflect on the continued transformation in the lives of some of the poorest families on the planet.

We had a great roll up of familiar faces across the three separate days of the event and quite a few ones as well, which was very encouraging.

Word spread pretty quickly that our team had free glasses to hand out and on the designated day 120 people turned up for a chance to secure one of the 60 pairs on offer.

We came across a mum with her four little ones at the end of a really isolated dirt track who were living in absolutely terrible conditions. Separated from her husband, her family lives in a very basic one room dirt floor structure on land owned by someone else.

We had an enthusiastic gang of willing volunteers help out throughout the day with making and selling an array of delicious temptations.

Coming from a desperately poor family in rural Cambodia, Ponleu's parents work as farm labourers, doing very long hours seven days a week for a meagre wage of just five dollars per day

Such a fantastic outcome all round. This will have a massive impact in the communities we support.
