Biography
Today Marie Ens lives at an orphanage and AIDS hospice called Place of Rescue, located just outside the capital city of Phnom Penh. Working with a team of dedicated Cambodian staff, Marie cares for AIDS patients and their families, for over 100 orphans, for grannies who have been left destitute with no one to care for them and for unwed teenage girls who need a place to go. All of these people call Marie “Ma yeah”, the Cambodian word for Grandma. After giving her heart to Cambodia years ago, she gladly serves there now with great joy and a deep sense of fulfillment.
