Lest our faithful blog readers develop a sense that Group 1 Rotarians and friends aren’t sweating enough on this trip, this entry is all about the sweat that leads to the equity. 

Bakong Technical College

This year’s project sees the return of the  Sweat Equity team  to the Bakong Technical  College (previously visited in 2009). It is clear that much work has progressed, and since our last visit two years ago the site is now (comparatively) well-developed.

In Cambodia 80% of the population lives on small rural holdings. The alluvial and sedimentary soil is very productive so food is plentiful. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are grown on the small farms, and marketed in the many small markets that dot the country side. The produce  is fresh and the quality is quite good.
