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.

Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Cambodia? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Cambodia in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
