                <description><![CDATA[Cambodia is dealing with an outbreak of dengue hemorraegic fever. Many Cambodians can't donate blood because of previous illnesses and so Kantha Bopha/Jayavarma VII (which is partly funded by a Swiss organisation), and Angkor Hospital for Children (funded by an NGO called Friends without a Border), actively make appeals to foreigners.<br> <br>I gave blood at Jayavarma VII hospital. The blood bank room was clean, my vein was wiped with alcohol before the needle was put in, and the phlebotomist took an extra sample of my blood to put in a test tube for analysis. I had to complete a questionnaire on my health,  medications, sexual partners etc.  <br><br>If you like music, Jayavarma VII also holds fundraising concerts each Saturday evening from around 7:15 pm.<br><br>AHC has an online shop with some beautiful cards and prints of Angkor.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Starfish Bakery is a charitable cafe/bakery/art shop with internet access that also offers excellent massages in its Sala Santepheap. <br><br>My massage, with a blind older lady named Janara, was one of the best I'd ever had and only cost US$10 for 90 min (in Sept 2007). <br><br>The cafe food also looked delicious. Mainly western stuff like omelettes, cakes, coffee. <br><br>Proceeds support Starfish Cambodia <a target="_new" href="http://www.starfishcambodia.org/">www.starfishcambodia.org/</a><br><a target="_new" href="http://www.canbypublications.com/sihanoukvilleads/starfishbakery.htm">www.canbypublications.com/sihanoukvilleads/starfishbakery.htm</a>]]></description>
