In an effort to help the children of Cambodia, Toi Keys, Emmanuel, Tried By Fire Records, and the Compassion Alliance have joined together to produce this album, a compilation of music written and performed by Keys and Emmanuel. In recent decades, the plight of the children of Cambodia has become increasingly desperate. Land mines, placed throughout the Cambodian countryside during civil turmoil, frequently maim and dismember local children, and the nation’s overwhelming poverty prevents them from getting proper treatment and care. In addition, poor parents are known to dismember their own children before sending them out into the streets to beg for money.

Life has become so desperate in Cambodia that youth are frequently lured away from their homeland with promises of jobs and opportunities abroad, only to be trafficked into child slavery and prostitution.

Christ needs us to help these children. Proceeds from this record will go towards the Compassion Alliance’s mission in Cambodia—purchasing prosthetic limbs and educating the youth about safe migration practices.

The Compassion Alliance also accepts donations by check sent to:

7619 W. Carl Ave., Springfield, MO 65802 (in the memo section, write “Race for the Orphans), and by PayPal through myspace www.myspace.com/racefortheorphans
