Mothers Day in Saang

Mother's Day was on May 8th! Here at GCCS we celebrated through our church service. After worship, a group of women from Sak Saum got up and sang a beautiful song about motherhood and then our youth acted out a drama about being a mother. Pastor Pheaktra read a poem and gave a short message. All of the mothers in the service then came up to have their feet washed by their children. The church handed out a sarang to all of the mothers and they were prayed over. There were many tears of joy and thankfulness from the mothers and children. Happy Mothers Day!

Khmer New Year 2016

On Saturday April 9th IHSC hosted a Khmer New Year party. It lasted all afternoon into the evening. We had a whole bunch of different things going on. The party began with different traditional Khmer games that everyone enjoyed playing. We had a cake eating contest, a water balloon fight, tug of war, and smashed a bunch of clay pots. Towards the end of the night there was dancing and powder was everywhere. We had big speakers playing dance music. There was a lot of laughter and smiles.

Gardening with Srey Touch

Srey Touch lives in the Fathers House. She has completed her 12 grades studies last year and has been busy helping with leading our youth program, as well as teaching Khmer in the very desperate areas near our campus. Srey Touch has taken on an interest in gardening. She loves to see the plants grow as they receive the water, sun and her care. Much like people She says, when the people open their hearts to receive from God the water, the Sun, (Son) and his care they can simply start growing. Gardening 101.

Preschool on campus.

A preschool has started up at IHSI within the past few weeks for the older Sak Saum children in the nursery. They are learning ABC’s, numbers, shapes, colors and life lessons. It took the children a few days to get into it, but now they are showing improvement. The children are eager to learn and are excited for something different to do each day. We are so excited to start this ministry.
