Little Sam

Yesterday little Sam came home from the hospital. He had been admitted for 10 days and had undergone major abdominal surgery. At two and one half years of age, he has done remarkably well. For almost one week post surgery he had to lay flat on his back and for a little boy that was tough!
We helped the family with the expenses. The total cost was just over $400 US dollars or about one years salary for the average Cambodian income. Ever since this little boy was literally left on a doorstep some 2 yrs ago, we have all fallen in love with Sam. He is named after Sam Carpenter who provided funds for the orphanage he lives in. Welcome home little Sam. I know that “Big Sam”, your namesake, welcomes you too.
