Freely Given Inc

Schedule O:

“The primary purpose of Freely Given is to provide quality medical care to the underprivileged of Cambodia. This entails travel expense to outlying areas of Siem Reap such as Taom, Prek, Poipet, Peak Sneag, and Battambang. When traveling to Prek, the floating village, for instance there is a cost of renting a van and/or driver, renting boats to and from the village, and the cost of medical supplies and medicine that is dispensed at the clinic. While checking the vitals of each person at the clinic is always first, antibiotics and cleansing of infected areas of the body are routine. For those at the clinic who seem to have more severe problems, the advice and urging of hospital care is always prescribed. In a recent clinic, a blind man and his wife walked for two hours to attend the clinic. This shows how desperate some of the Cambodian people are for medical care. The couple was treated and provided transportation home. Freely Given partners with medical teams from Singapore and Korea where travel expenses and medical expenses are incurred for a week. Approximately 1900 were served in 2024. A secondary purpose of Freely Given is to partner with churches, orphanages, and pastoral care centers to hold events for children, college students, as well as adults. The pastoral center provides daily activities and dinner for children in the area. Freely Given partners with them to provide food, parties around Christmas and Easter. Some children receive their first and only Christmas present at these events. Freely Given also partnered with a mission team to build a roof over an open area where the children eat dinner each night to provide shelter from the elements. Clinics are periodically provided for the children that include supplies like toothpaste and toothbrushes. The Freely Given team weekly visits an orphanage to provide singing and story opportunities, as well as, learning of the English language. Approximately 4200 were served in 2024. A third purpose is teaching of the English language, which many Cambodians are eager to learn as it provides more and better employment opportunities. Not only at the orphanage, but at schools and villages English is taught by the members. Approximately 2000 were served in 2024.”
