His Name is SoKeun

It was easy to find him. Everyone knows him. He is conspicuous. He is different. He smiles all the time.
Everyone in the market knew where he lived also. One man graciously took us to see him. His wife is named SauKim and they have two children, a boy 20 and a girl who is 14. His wife has a bicycle repair business of sorts and he refills cigarette lighters from the small butane bottles you see on the front of his bike.
SoKeuns major complaint in life is his shoulders. He peddles his bike many kilometers each day making the rounds and the years have taken their toll on them. I gave him a large bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine to help his discomfort but he really needs a new bike.
There is an organization in Phnom Penh who helps people with these issues. I will contact them for him and see if they can help. His crutches look terribly painful also and that should be easy to find. It is hard to help the poor. We don’t often know if we are helping them to stay in their hopeless condition or if they really will profit from a one time help of some kind. I feel good about SoKeun. When I told him I was a Christian he smiled real big! Rick
