Website revamp and 2007 finances!

After a lot of double-checking and catching-up, we have a new fresh look for our website! Check it out and thanks to Ellie Klerlein for the website and Sim Chiew Hong for the graphics!

Financial reports for 2007 - everything from the accountants

And an interesting read for Blum donors - The Only Train in Cambodia. The freight train goes out nearly every day and part of the track winds through the slum community Blum works in. Because the very narrow strips of land along the side of the tracks can't legally be built on, illegal builders have colonised it. You're not from the wrong side of the tracks here - you're on the tracks! The shacks are built right up to a couple of feet from the track itself, with tables, chairs and shelves set across the tracks during the day. When the train comes, tarps get untied and furniture shifted so the old train can chug slowly by, and then life resumes again.
