This is an organization that I wholeheartedly support. As if there was any mystery to that from my writing. They train volunteers from African communities in 8 different sub-saharan countries to care for those in their communities that are sick, dying or left orphaned and vulnerable. These care workers are effectively caring for the very poorest in communities that have little access to aid or government supports









This organization was found by Dr. Dick and Deborah Northcott from Medicine Hat, AB. They have implemented a holistic approach to caring for orphaned and vulnerable children, in their own communities, with the support of care centers, health visits, and income generating projects for guardians. I travelled with the Northcotts on an expedition to Addis Ababa and the Sheshemane region this past Feb/March 2014 and it was a first hand look at the care network they have built in the past ten years in and around Ethiopia.









Place of Rescue Cambodia is a collection of homes for families living with AIDS as well as homes for children who are orphaned or vulnerable in their communities. Marie Ens, the founder of Place of Rescue, is an amazing woman who has lived her life serving those she loves in Cambodia. She is a "retired" missionary who now lives out her calling, building capacity into a team of Cambodian leaders who administrate and care for the children who live at Place of Rescue. The entire staff, including Marie, are Cambodian citizens, though Marie was born in Canada. This organization effectively cares for and develops children who have been raised in a loving environment, with access to nutrition, medical care and education. Just over ten years in, Place of Rescue has recently added two dorms for young men and women who have grown up at Place of Rescue, so that they may attend university or post-secondary education and obtain sustainable jobs and help rebuild Cambodia.
