In our last newsletter, you read about the blue tarps, water filters, food, blankets, mats, and mosquito netting you gave to displaced refugee families on the Cambodia-Thailand border.
Your life-saving generosity didn’t end there. Because you know war and hunger aren’t crises that can be solved by feeding people on just one day.
Ongoing Relief Efforts
This is the third trip Kinship Cambodia and Kinship Thailand took to the overcrowded, unprotected outdoor camps at the border in as many months.
These settlements are filled with disabled elderly, widows who lost their husbands to war, scared children, and malnourished babies.
Critical resources are scarce among these desperate people who have fled war, gas, and bombs, leaving their homes behind with nothing but their family.
Cambodia in-country partner Peter wrote: “Life in the refugee camp is still heartbreaking. Families remain without homes, living under fragile tents, unable to return because their villages are still unsafe. Now, people already shaken by war are facing serious health risks, too. They’re caught between danger and uncertainty, with no safe place to turn.”
On this trip, you provided sun-screen netting, more waterproof tarps, portable drinking water filters, and many days’ worth of food to hundreds of people.
Nutritious MannaPacks contain multiple rice meals inside every pack. To provide extra nutrition and joy to these desperate people, Kinship United also provided noodles, canned fish, milk, and little cakes - to make the children smile!
Kinship Thailand remains hard at work not only helping the vulnerable from this conflict, but also those fleeing the seemingly endless war in Myanmar/Burma.
Thailand in country-partner Zack wrote: “They were very happy to get […] sun protection, rain protection, and a floor covering as well as wind protection. It can also protect from the rain while cooking.” He added it is essential for these people to live in a dry, protected place because the camp is in a forest. “Elderly people have to be carried […] by their children because they cannot travel by themselves. We can only pray that this kind of situation will not happen again.”
Your Impact is Life-Saving
You fed hundreds of people once again. They know their stomachs are filled because of God who loves them; a Heavenly Father who provided food to them through YOU.
The conflicts in Cambodia and Thailand have created an unprecedented number of orphans and widowed women. Thank you for helping us to rescue, uplift, and serve as many of “the least of these” as possible, in His name.
The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
