July 04, 2010

Wings of Hope Alliance for Cambodia, Inc. (WHAC), USA

I am Greg Bodlovick and would like to respond to your query regarding the Organization known as W.H.A.C. .


Let me start with some background information regarding myself.

 

I am the Manager within the Largest Wholesaler of Plumbing/Heating/PVF Construction products in the Northeast namely FW Webb Co.I have been in this function since 1979.

(for more info on FW Webb Co and myself go to www.centraldistributionsales.com click on Virtual Tour and I am hosting it)

 

I have always enjoyed my high level of Volunterrism which goes back some time, some of the areas that I have helped in over the decades;

 

Ingraham Volunteers which I was a Crisis Counselor on a hot line

 

Catholic Charities-Refugee Resettlement Project helping Refugees and Orphans resettle in the USA

 

Worked with Ms. Channary Prak and Myself as Translators(volunteer) for Hospitals, Courts, Police,Human Services

 

WCSH6 Citizen of the Year award Nominee

 

And many other areas, so this may give you some insight to whom I am.

 

Now let me discuss W.H.A.C. and its Organization and the Tremendous Work and Accomplishments.

 

WHAC has helped in so very many means within Cambodia , examples being we helped and financed the Building of Water Wells for Clean Drinking Water in several provinces which have Never had potable drinking water, sickness was rampant in these provinces until we helped with this solution.

WHAC  has helped in providing Food/Rice, medical supplies,clothes to Elderly and Orphans in many regions.

 

 

WHAC largest endeavor is the Orphanage we rebuilt, supplied and house nearly 30 orphans. We supply food, medicines, clothes, Education needs and a Educator, we provide safety and security. A recent project at the Orphange is one in which we raised funds to purchase Seeds to plant, Ms Prak can provide pictures of the Success, we have a tremendous Crop of Vegetables that have been produced and trained the Children to be more self supporting through this means. We will use the Products to help defray the cost of Rice and Meat, in the form of bartor.

 

Thusly, WHAC is a Very Worthy cause and One that I know you can feel You and your organization are doing the Correct thing in that to help support WHAC.

I appreciate your audience and this read which I know is in length but I only hope I helped gain your confidence in WHAC.

Very warm regards,

Greg Bodlovick
