Water Garden Project
Edible crops currently growing at Samaki School:
Eggplant (3 varieties), pepper (2 varieties), morning glory, basil, ridge gourd, sponge gourd, wax gourd, winged beans (2 varieties)
Local villagers inspired by the project regularly access water supply on site thanks to the recently-installed solar-powered water pump on the existing borehole (originally installed with manual pump). Borehole interventions on this project are merely a temporary system for water security while surface water retention systems are established.

Visiting another independent rural school run by a volunteer teacher
Rainy season turns roads into muddy deathtraps.
Mr. Voeun hears of another independent rural local school a couple hours away run by a volunteer teacher on her own, and decides to visit the school despite poor road conditions. We hope to build relationships with the families associated with this school and support the teacher as well, particularly to assist with urgent needs of her students.
