Dear friends and partners,
On the way to work this morning I heard the sentiment of Peace on Earth expressed on the radio. Peace, a sense of well being, of contentment – something longed for by so many all over the world but an elusive desire.
Here in Cambodia many of our women do not live with peace – they live with shame and pain - shame because their personal body parts have developed diseases that leave them tired and sore – for many it leaves to long drawn out process of dying – of leaving behind loved ones – of leaving a not quite finished life. Please take a moment and see the video:
Nokor Tep Women’s Hospital is in process of bringing some sense of peace for the women here. Peace is not an easy value to achieve – it requires time and courage - it requires faith and commitment – it requires understanding that peace must encompass all – not just oneself. Our vision is an enormous one – one that will affect millions of women here and perhaps millions in other counties as we become a model for others to follow. Our vision requires time – time to build and outfit – time to employ and train – time for millions to pass through our doors over the next millennium.
This holiday season I thank my God for each of you – for your faith in Nokor Tep Women’s Hospital – for your stance to bring peace for the women here. Christmas is about anticipation and hope – you and I together, bring anticipation and hope for the many women here. I thank my God that this is so.
We have a campaign this season – a campaign to bring this vision so much closer. It is about forgoing one present this year and donating that amount to complete the structure of Nokor Tep Women’s Hospital. To donate please click on https://nokor-tep.net/index.php/donations
From all of us here at Nokor Tep Women’s Hospital we wish all of you PEACE this holiday season.
Janne
