Due to the generosity of Julie and Charlie Myatt from Queensland, we have been able to construct two new wells in the Takeo district. The well in Prey Pheal Village will be used by many families, there is a serious lack of water, this is a particularly dry area of Cambodia. I was happy to do this in memory of Phal, who died last month, it has made her family very happy.
The second well is in the Village of Takem where we have constructed a house for Chan's family. Chan is 17 and he has 4 siblings, his mother is unwell and also has some mental instability and the grandmother, Mauy, who has always kept the family together, is very frail. They were all living in one room that did not keep the weather out - they now have a new house and all are much happier. Mauy keeps her coffin stored in the room they all live in waiting for the day she will need it.
We are looking for some small business we can train Chan to do, as he is the only one who can bring in money for the family. Bicycle repairs is a good business, with a small compressor and some parts it can bring in some income. Looking at the costs to set this up.

Oung Phan is 83 years old, she lives alone and her house is falling down. We have her in hospital at the moment having treatment and are now repairing her house. Looks like I'm now in the house building business - new projects keep finding me.
