Frequently Asked Questions About Our Two Orphanages

1. Are the children up for adoption?
   No.

2. Can a foster parent visit their child at the orphanage?
   Yes, we encourage them to do so and even stay at the orphanage. Several parents have done this with rave reviews. (See “Visit Future Light Orphanage”)

3. Can children visit their parents?
   We have not done this yet as it is a major logistical undertaking but I anticipate it will happen in rare cases.

4. Can we mail gifts to the kids?
   Yes. However, if it is done one must make every effort to not create jealousy from the other children. So if you must, make sure you include other small gifts for your child to share with other kids or an item that could be used by all. Heartfelt email letters sent consistently is the best gift you can send to your child.

5. What happens to the kids after they leave the orphanage?
   Hopefully they will have gained a good enough education, along with their computer and English skills you have helped them learn, to find a good job. Some will go onto college. A university education in Cambodia costs about $400 a year including books.

6. What other projects can we do for the orphanage and children?
   There are many possibilities here: Hire a special English/computer teacher for them, provide daily vitamins, small library, sports equipment etc.
