On this day - a reminder that while there has been progress and hope - there is still a great need worldwide. Remembering our trip to Place of Rescue in Cambodia this past summer. Place of Rescue is a safe haven for families living with AIDS, orphan children and orphan grannies and young unmarried pregnant women. AMAZING STATISTICS Rescue was founded as a Cambodian NGO in 2003. At that time all we had were 15 houses for AIDS families. Today Place of Rescue I near Bek Chan is home to 220 orphans and 25 destitute elderly women. In addition, we have 48 more children who are part of 22 families ( 22 mothers and 3 fathers ) living with AIDS. In Phnom Penh 28 young people make their home at House of New Dreams, 15 are in university, 13 in grade 12. Place of Rescue II located in Mongkol Borey, in northern Cambodia is home to 131 orphans. In the province of Pailin, bordering Thailand, there are 45 children at Place of Rescue III. that makes Rescue totally responsible for 522 people cared for by a staff of more than 100 people
