Story on Cambodia's Taxi Girls

Vonn started in Kompong Som in late 1999 in a village called Phum Thmie. Now Kompong Som is on the ocean and is a sea-port and like all seaports, the community has a variety of industries geared towards the pleasures of the seafarers. One of these industries is prostitution. Vonn has a vision. She believes that these girls are precious in God's eyes - that each one is of great value. She believes that we can reach out to these girls in a way that will give them the choice of remaining in prostitution or returning home to a normal lifestyle. The way to do this is through savings - helping the girls to dream about their own future and providing the moral support to achieve those dreams through savings. It is a bold plan for it involves convincing the local chiefs and owners of the brothels that this is good and convincing the girls that they have a choice in life.
