Hand Made Greeting Cards.

One of the people that we hope to meet on our journey is Mrs. Kieng Heck who is a missionary in Cambodia.  She has started up a small business called Ruth Handicraft.  Through this business, many women and children hand make gift cards.  These hand-cut cards are crafted by economically disadvantaged women and youth from different churches in Cambodia. This handiwork provides supplemental income to help improve their family livelihood. 

You can read about the cards  here: http://www.calvin.edu/~lderooy/cambodia/Ruth%20Handicraft%20Testimony.pdf

Our class may have an opportunity to purchase some of these cards and hand carry them back to the USA.  If you know someone who may be interested in buying some of these cards,  have a look at the links above.

Welcome to the Transforming Cambodia Interim 2008 blog!

Our class will use this location to post updates for everyone.  While the students are currently writing exams for the fall semester, they are also thinking about what to pack and learning to take a shower with their mouth closed  :-)

Please pray that we will have a safe journey to Cambodia, and that the many preparations currently underway will go smoothly.

If you need to contact the professors for this course you can reach both of them with the email address cambodia@calvin.edu

Leonard De Rooy  & David Dornbos
