Thousands of Cambodian citizens remain in refugee camps, having been displaced by last year’s border conflict with Thailand. One of these, a young boy, came to live with his grandmother in the vicinity of Timothy School and started to attend lessons at the school.
He helped his grandmother by cleaning her house. While doing so one day, he fell and hit his head. The grandmother did not think the boy’s injury was serious and did not seek medical attention. However, the next day her grandson complained of a severe headache. It was arranged for the boy to be taken to the renowned Kantha Bopha Hospital, where he underwent surgery for a brain haemorrhage. Sadly, the doctors were unable to save his life.
Please pray for his grandmother, other members of the family, the boy’s friends in Timothy School and the church, which will offer what support it can.
