The SPCS donated one large sack of rice, some fish and some bread to Raymond’s family. Pictured here is Raymond, his mom and dad and younger brother and sister. His other brother and sisters were not at home yet. We spoke with Raymond’s parents and they agreed to help make sure that Raymond and the other children give their best effort in school. We agreed that it is not easy, but they must try and help the kids with school and we will do our best to help. I have seen for myself the dire situation they are in and it is a very difficult situation.

They live in a very small wood shingle home and cook outside on charcoal. This is also why some of them go to their grandmother’s house to sleep, even though her house is also very small. I am lining up a tutor to help Raymond and his siblings during the school year. We are also in the process of having a table built for them to complete their homework. Before we leave for home we will go again and make a list of some things they need to better care for the children.
