Project director Pastor Abe in bad accident

It is with a heavy heart that I would like to share with you that our dedicated Supporting Cambodia project director Pastor Abe has been involved in a serious roadside accident in a remote part of the country and has been conveyed to hospital in Siem Reap.

The accident occurred in an outlying area when Abe stopped his car and got out, only to be run down seconds later by a passing motorbike travelling at high speed.

While further testing and scans are yet to be done, at this stage the doctors have confirmed he has two fractured arms and deep lacerations to his leg and head.

I have been in contact with our project team in Cambodia and we are putting together a plan to support Abe and his family at this very challenging time.

I'll keep you posted as events unfold.

Thanks for your ongoing support and encouragement.

Rob Ellson, Chairman

Rob Ellson was one of a group of 15 Kangaroo Islanders who visited Cambodia for the first time in 2009. Witnessing a struggling community of more than 1,000 displaced people greatly impacted all of the Kangaroo Island group. After returning home to Kangaroo Island, Rob couldn't let go of the needs of those families.  Over the coming months and subsequent visits back to Cambodia he founded ‘Kangaroo Island Supporting Cambodia’.
