RAP Update – A Short Trip!

Today, February 1st until the 4th, is a holiday in Phnom Penh as ceremonies were underway for the late King Norodom Sihanouk’s funeral. It’s estimated that around 1.5 million to 3 million people have come to pay their final respects. In addition to the city’s population, this influx of people includes global dignitaries and people from the country’s provinces. During this holiday, the young women from the Ratanak Achievement Program (RAP) home, the staff and Lisa Cheong, Ratanak International’s Cambodia Country Director, are taking a trip. They’re stepping out of their day-to-day routines for a mini retreat. To reintegrate after rehabilitation is a challenging time of transition for these brave girls at the RAP home. They are confronting their fears and overcoming obstacles as they take steps towards independence. This short trip is a special time for them to rest and recharge. Please pray for safe travels and that this retreat will be a time of refreshment and renewal for the young women, the staff at RAP, and Lisa, as they enjoy time together in a scenic setting. Thank you for all your prayers and support!
