On Nov 1 I updated a prior post about the little Cambodian boy who received one of the quilts made by the King's Quilters. I've since learned a little more about this child. His name is Samnang and his mother is a slave. Yes -- in this modern day world there are still people who live in slavery! This mother gave up her child because she did not feel she had anything to offer him.
Can you picture having to made that decision about one of your children? This mother gave up two of her children so that they would have hope of a future.
Can you picture being a slave?
A totally different world from the world most of us live in.
