Vann Nath standing next to his paintings (Photo: Jared Ferrie)Dear Friends
Please allow me to send you this urgent call for help.
Vann Nath whom you all know as a S-21 survivor, a painter and a restless and dedicated witness of the Khmer Rouge regime atrocities has been admitted on Tuesday to the emergency unit at Calmette Hospital, in Phnom Penh: This is the only institution which seems to be able to treat the bowel (duodenom) and stomach haemorrhage he is suffering from (though, I am not in position to give you further details).
Vann Nath is fighting for his life, and his wife and children stand by him. However, their financial resources cannot sustain such medical costs for long.
With Vann Nath's agreement, I am therefore sending this appeal for funds in order to help his family to pay for medical bills and to support them through such painful struggle. Whatever the amount, any donation you may send will show your solidarity and support to him and his family.
I am very grateful for any contribution you may give.
Donations can be sent in a sealed envelope to Elen Gallien, at the Bophana Center (n°64 street 200). She is in charge of collecting all donations until Saturday included. Her telephone number is 092 132 718.
I truly thank you for your help.
Morover, if any of you's blood type is A+ or O+ and is willing to donate their blood, please give me your contact details so that we can contact you whenever that might be necessary.
Best wishes and many thanks,
Rithy Panh

Saturday is just two days away. We are in the US. The regular mail will not reach Bophana Center in two days, I don't think. Any other way to donate?
Khmer USA
No,i can't because i don't make money.I am poor.
I will donate 100 riels,that all i afford.
some people are so disrespectful
if you have nothing good to say in this time of dispair dont say anything 10.57 & 11.06
To KI-Media Team:
Can anyone overseas set up some sort of paypal account and wire the money to his family? This way, it would make it easier for us, overseas folks, to donate funds to help him.
Hope you guys could figure something out soon.
Thanks
I did not mean to disrespect the man health. Just curious about this fund or asking for support.
With the man reputation I am sure money should easy poor in, I mean internationally. He's a man being recognition around the world.
Don't you think this requestion for assistant little bit fishy????
I'll check with my relation in PP if is true I'll send through Murra tonight and have SA SA art guy to pick it up.
Dear 6:37
I am currently living and working in PP. You would be surprised how many well known, well respected people that receive very little help. Most of the Cambodian abroad are only good at talking about sacrifices and nationalism but very limited or no action.
I think it's too late and it's unfortunate that he ended up in the Yuon's hospital. The Yuons will put him to sleep.
That old-fart hasn't died yet?
5:44AM,
I just tell the truth and why do you motherfucker think it's disrespectful?.
It would be interesting to know how much money Rithy Panh gave this poor Van Nath! The fortunes of Panh can greatly help Vann. Note that Panh has a lot of money through his films, ie through the misfortunes of Cambodia are largely Panh's live! Yes that's the truth. Historically, there are people who take advantage of the misfortunes of others. Good luck to Vann.
I hope that Panh pays Vann properly as it should be one of the characters in his films, that Vann could heal.
What is his telephone number ? or his wife/children phone number ?
Thank you for your help
