If there's any "French" hero in Cambodia worth writing down on history book, @justinparke will be that "French" guy. I will contribute 50HBD a month to feed your APE, so we can keep the balls rolling.

Maybe a mountain will be named after me one day, after all, there is one nearby literally translated as "Mount Frenchman's Nose." Realistically though, I'd be lucky to have a drainage ditch named after me, perhaps "Freckle Face Ditch 🤔." As I ponder this, I realize freckles are translated as "fly poop" in Khmer, so I guess it would "Fly S*it Face Ditch 😁."
Your offer is far too generous, and to be honest, your delegation to @asean.hive provides my family with a significant amount of funds even though we've probably withdrawn less than $200 or $300 from @asean.hive profits. I would really hope that one day we get in a better economic situation, and then I'd love to use the funds for an ASEAN Hive Summit.
Here's the scoop so far on diesel costs, 6 days a week at $3 per roundtrip, and I no longer do this twice a day because of the mobile office I take with me in the tuk-tuk, parking on abandoned land near the school and working for 4 hours before grabbing the kids and heading back home. This is more productive for me and also halves the fuel costs, so it looks like $72-ish dollars per month not factoring in tire wear, oil changes, etc.
Our neighbors have committed to $12.50 per month, two different families, so that's $25 per month, and we cover the rest at about $47 per month, much more manageable than before. Your offer is far too generous, and besides, each month gets a little better. If HIVE stays above 60 cents, that will be very helpful in the next few months too.
Put it this way, if I give you that 50 bucks, I get to see the kids progress. If I put 50 bucks into that well-known UNICHEF, they're only giving back me a tax cut which often time I forgot to submit 🤣 and I do know they took away a big chunk of that donation to pay for their "administration", such as the Mercedes Benz the manager is riding. 50 bucks can't feed a Merc that carry 0.005 kid, but 50 bucks does feed the ape that carry all the kids I've seen in your post 😁
I'm always going to politely refuse, haha, but also if given the funds, that money would obviously not go to waste. Right now we are good for at least several weeks, my wife's ex-husband's family members just arrived from California, and tomorrow morning my wife and kids will be joining them for a one-week VIP tour of Cambodia, so no fuel costs for the next week because of that, and I've just withdrawn a couple hundred HIVE to Binance.
The other kids's parents said they will take them by moto for a week, no problem, but Mey-Yii goes to the furthest school, so she's going to miss out. I am regretful for this, but because I am foreign man and Mey-Yii is Cambodian girl with a questionable guardian, I don't ever want to be alone with her even if it's taking her to school on the Cub for a week. An accusation could be made, and in Cambodia the foreigner is always guilty, wrong, at fault.
I know you have some bills that absolutely must be paid each month, and I also know your working situation is tense and unsatisfying these days. You may find yourself needing all the savings you got if you choose to look for a new employer sometime soon.
