HENG CAN NOW GET HER PRODUCE TO MARKET

Together, in Warren's memory, we helped make a difference in the life of Heng Sam Oun of Cambodia. A cheese and cucumber producer, Heng needed a better way to get her stock to the local market, so the WPMF loaned her money to purchase a small motorbike with an attached trailer in which to carry her cheese and cucumbers. At right is a photograph of Heng with her cucumber harvest.
