Marieknoll is an NGO set up in Cambodia in 1996 by Father Jim, an American priest of 72 years old. The aim of this organization is to help and support disadvantaged people living with AIDS or with the HIV virus. They did set up lots of small projects to provide some of those people with jobs.
Visit of their own clinic, then of a house of 20 girls from 5 to 13 years old, all HIV positive or with AIDS. They are orphans or have parents with AIDS. Four dedicated women permanently look after them. The atmosphere in the house is very friendly and familial. Marieknoll has several other houses in Phnom Penh on the same model. I just wanted to congratulate Father Jim who very discreetly achieves many grandiose things.
