Connor Erlin (yr 8) sponsors Orphan in Cambodia.

CONNOR ERLIN (yr 8, 2009) has been raising money by baking cookies and selling them at local shops along with other activities to sponsor a child at “The Karuna Children’s Centre” based in the rural district of Varin in the remote north of Cambodia.  

This week Connor and his Mother, Lee Erlin, have travelled to Cambodia to visit the Children's Centre and meet the 64 orphaned or desperately poor children (aged 5-15) who live there.  Each of these children have come from very impoverished local communities and have suffered during their short life.

It's only through the generosity and support of people like Connor that these children not only have a home, clean clothes, education and medical care but a hope for the future and a chance to start to achieve their full potential.

Connor has promised to take lots of photos and keep a journal of his trip, we'll interview him on his return and post the full story next week.

Connor Erlin you are definitely an inspiration to all of us and we're proud of you.
