Jumpah people and programs attempt to make our small world a better place.

Our motivation: God loves us and sent his son to serve and die for us. We love God and desire to serve and love our neighbors, pointing them to a God who loves them and wants to be a part of their lives.

Here's some of what we try to do:

- Care for children at Garden of Joy orphanage and in surrounding villages
- Train adults in a variety of vocational skills
- Teach children
- Change behaviors
- Give girls a positive future
- Protect the environment
- Support families
- Build character
- Instill new and reinforce positive values
- Help people become productive
- Develop a new spirit of cooperation in our communities
- Help villagers to make good decisions
- Develop and build small business that provide income to more families

Sounds simple, but it is not. We grow weary. We lose patience. We wonder about the value of spending so much energy with so few results. We make mistakes and beat ourselves up. We fear making more mistakes.  We focus too much on obstacles, roadblocks, and lack of resources.

But then we are surprised. A child makes a hard but right decision. A village husband stops beating his wife. A young man accepts a job at the wood shop and spends less time with friends who are not positive influences. A teacher rejects a better paying job offer, preferring the joys and rewards of teaching children in rural Cambodia. A family decides to spend money to send their three children to the Jumpah School.
