Aloha! Welcome to Email Foster Parents International web site.
 

Email Foster Parents International links orphaned and vulnerable children in developing countries to compassionate and responsible supporters. Through the emotional and financial support of their foster parents, these children are afforded the opportunity to develop into more confident and self-reliant individuals.

 

We started our Email Foster Parent Program in Fall 2000 and are now supporting and emailing nearly two hundred children at an orphanage in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. (See Future Light Orphanage, FLO)

 

The pictures and email letter below are from our very first email foster child in Cambodia. Over the past few years, through the magic of email, we have gotten to know each other pretty well. I always look forward to receiving his emails and pictures and I know he enjoys hearing from me. Smey is now part of our family.

Thanks for your interest in the Email Foster Parent Program!

Aloha, Rob Hail

The First Email from Reak Smey


Dear Foster Daddy Rob,

My name is Reak Smey, I am 13ys boy. I am orphan. I live with my uncle and my aunt. They are so poor. They cannot support me. My parents died since I was young. I met Ms. Phaly Nuon last year when she went to make a survey on poor women and orphans. I was happy to meet her. Fortunately, she brought me to her orphanage and provide me food and gave me stationeries.

 

It feels like I was reborn in a nice family because she takes care of me. She makes me feel comfortable. I was skini. Now, I get healthy. You can see my photo. I go to orphanage, for meal with orthers friends in the orphanage and for my private study everyday after finish my public school. At the public school I learn only Cambodian  subject. I don't know so much english. I am sorry. I do hope you forgive me. I like sport, my hobby is reading a book and listening a song.

 

Why do you want to look for a foster children. Why you like cambodian children. Do you think it is hard for you to contact with me. Thank you so much for your concern. I wish you all the best.


Your foster child,
Reak Smey
