Place of Rescue is an AIDS shelter and orphanage in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

We shelter parents with AIDS and their children in small family-style cottages. Visiting them in their modest homes we can provide intimate care. When parents die of AIDs, their children find a home here too. Click on the picture to the left to see an overview.

Sakhon Men is a member of the Executive Committee of Rescue.

Sakhon's main responsibility is to accompany Sokhan in the work she does. The Sokhans, as we often call them, visit needy people who are referred to Rescue in order to assess their needs and decide how Rescue can help them. Sometimes the answer is to bring them to Place of Rescue. Other times they can be helped at home where they live.

Sakhon has been in the Lord's work for a long time having been a woman's work leader and support for her husband who is in charge of Theological Education by Extension in Cambodia. The couple have four grown children.

His gentleness and compassion are evident to all. He is in charge of grounds management at Place of Rescue with a staff of six under his authority. He is an excellent father figure to all the children at Place of Rescue and they all call him "Pa".

Khim and his wife have a little girl of 10 who is the apple of her Daddy's eye.
