Rainwater Update

First of all, after staring face to face with a cockroach and having 20 something bites on my feet alone, I decided that it was time to pull out the bug net. I'm definitely sleeping better. As it was bound to happen at some point, I was very sick all last night so today, I'll be consuming only water to kill whatever lurks in my stomach.

Meeting with RainwaterI met with Lyn, the director of this fantastic NGO and I was immediately invited to visit some of their projects in the field. At 5am, Hueng Li and I will be traveling 3 hours to a village he supervised in developing. Our primary objective is to test the water to prove to people that the pH is safe for drinking and then I'll also be filming. I've decided to create a short video with some interviews from the people in the village. This will be a great asset for Rainwater Cambodia. I also found out the CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) was their main sponsor last year. I will visiting their office today to review some key things that Rainwater Cambodia accomplishes in comparison to some other NGOs.

I'm spending the day just relaxing and stay hydrated. I'll be writing a cover letter for Roath to help her work or volunteer with Licadho. For more information on Licadho, click here.
