Counterpoint: New life

After a week of bad news and destruction of people's lives, I was
heartened to hear of our friend, Chenda, who gave birth to her fourth
child today, at 8am, to a healthy 3.3kg baby girl named Donna.

As we are planning to visit Kampot this weekend as part of the team
survey, we will be able to visit on the way home. Chhuk is on the road
to Kampot.

Sadly, this is a bitter sweat celebration for Chenda and her family of
four kids as her husband recently left her for another woman. A whole
nother story of it's own.

But it is worth celebrating times such as these. And new life brings
with it so much hope, possibility and newness. Who can't be happy?
