Ouch!

Chomron, a super-shy nine-year-old guy, and his mum arrived last Friday. He was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time when a cow got cranky and whipped its horns around, collecting his chest. They had been to a provincial clinic where the messy wound got stitched, but the family are very poor and had no financial means to receive further care.

Sue got another six stitches out of Chomron's wound today - just two more to go, buried in the messy wound. That is Sreymom behind him - a lovely lady with a quick mind and a hungry heart.

Chomron is doing well - not nearly so shy now and really brave as Susie goes digging for stitches. His mum has had to head back home to work so he's been flying solo for a few days. He loves the Bible dvds we have in the home, as well as a giggle over Mr Bean (Cambodians just love Mr Bean skits and movies!!)
