Cambodia - Day 3 | Basak Primary School

We finished our second well today at Basak Primary School. The school typically has about 300 students, many of which we were able to meet, even though they let out for the summer yesterday. Having the children there gave us an opportunity to really connect with the beneficiaries of the well and we enjoyed playing and laughing with them. It was definitely the hottest day we’ve had in the field so far, but everyone was eager and excited to pitch in, and despite a few kinks in the drilling, the well was completed this evening. This particular well was made possible by donations from our partners at 46NYC, and it was exciting to have one of the founders, Graham Bunn, on the ground with us to witness the installation.

This afternoon the team traveled out to another remote village to participate in one of Kone Kmeng’s community sanitation workshops. Each area that is provided a well is also asked to attend one of these workshops, at which they are educated on the importance of clean water and sanitation. The people of the village were so welcoming and happy to have us there, especially the children. It’s an incredible experience to meet the people who’s lives will now be drastically changed because of the help from supporters back home. We can’t thank you enough!

Cambodia - Day 2

We have hit water! Earlier this morning our drilling efforts were successful as we hit fresh water at the site of our first well. It was a beautiful site to see it gushing from the ground. Check out a few of the pictures from the day and Doc's update. It's been difficult for us to find a solid internet connection that would allow us to upload a ton of content but we are committed to keeping you updated on the work that is happening here. We hope you are enjoying the updates. Thank you again for your support! We will see you tomorrow.
