Abie Nathan, the self-styled peace pilot and peace navigator, has found a new cause for his untiring energy and humanitarian feelings. He is devoting himself to helping the Cambodians. His moving appeal over the weekend on Israeli TV resulted in many calls from doctors and nurses who said they were ready to go to Cambodia to help the needy.

Nathan, himself, left for Athens from where he expects to reach Thailand. His plan is to buy trucks there and fill them with essentials and then try to transport the vehicles over the Cambodian border. Before leaving for Athens, Nathan set up a committee to help the hungry children. of Cambodia and opened an account at local banks to receive donations on behalf of the children.
