As you can see Sokgon (AKA Clup) is very healthy and we are over the moon! Her family are always so grateful for the help they've had, and we have all agreed that she no longer needs to be on the formula. We've gradually been weaning Clup off the formula and introducing more solid foods into her diet and now we'll stop providing her with formula altogether. Of course we'll continue to visit her village twice a week, so we'll check on her and make sure she continues to prosper. We'll provide her with food & clothes etc. We hope to be able to provide her family with a home and some land to farm, so we'll definitely have plenty to do with the family in the future, even though Clup no longer needs formula. On behalf of Clup and her family, THANK YOU SO MUCH to Suriya and her friends for the commitment you made to Clup, for showing compassion and for showing her Jesus' love. You guys are wonderful!

Baby Clup's real name is Sokgon, which means Grace, however almost everyone knows her by her nick-name 'Clup'.
Clup's Mum and her whole family have had a very rough life and they recently had to run from their home town due to constant threats and attempts of rape and violence. Now the whole family (grandparents, aunts, uncles etc) are living in the slums here in this town.
One day we hope to get a home and some land for them so that Baby Clup can grow up in a safe environment, where she can enjoy a normal childhood and not witness any of the things her parents have.
A huge thank you to Suriya and her friends for sponsoring Baby Clup - the first step in breaking the poverty cycle in her life.
