Thursday 22nd March

Meet Mr Kim.



Mr Kim is the nephew of one of the teachers at the school



It rained quite heavily for a time today and yesterday. The skies were earily lit up with lightning as I rode home in the dark yesterday. The rain is going to be very good for the Durian however and may mean we don't need to worry about them

Everyone next door is down with dengue fever but fortunately I'm unaffected. I guess I'll get it eventually.

This week we've visited the Provincial Training Centre in Kampot and the Women in Development Centre on the way to Kep. Both these organisations provide training to poor people in the area in skills such as weaving Kramar (traditional Khmer cloth in silk or cotton). We hope to promote some of their goods in the office when we get up and running.

Jos has published the latest Kampot Dar-laing - a regular news letter with project information supported by classified ads. We have a nice splash on the back page so hopefully this will generate some interest.
