After a year of trying to plan a trip to Cambodia to visit CAMA's work, I finally made it! There are a couple of great projects I was able to learn from - above is a Moringa tree, which the leaves are dried and crushed into a powder that has lots of vitamins and is really helpful for those with HIV/AIDS or those with nutritional needs. The powder is being used by many in conjunction with the HIV/AIDS and community health ministry and people are very pleased with the results (google Moringa, it may be the latest natural health craze in the US!!).
This pastor has her own business roasting and seasoning soy beans, peanuts, etc. to support her work as a pastor.
This little guy wanted me to take his picture as he proudly posed in front of his elementary school! His parents died of AIDS but he's living with antoher relative. I was really impressed with the Church Based HIV/AIDS ministry that the CAMA staff is working with there. They are really working with the church to have ownership of the program and to lead and direct it in the future.
