Patrick steps in and steps up. he's involved and committed for the further development of Poum Steung school. He and I, Sophat and Chey decided to raise a medium size fund for Electricity (generator and battery) Water pumping and sewage system, materials for children, maintenance equipment etc. This will be operated via our new website that Patrick's been currently working days and nights. we will focus on smaller, individual funding in number, and not through any kind of NGO that slows down the process of channeling money. Any donation will be sent to the school and will be used for their variety of needs immediately and we also provide personal, individual follow-ups to keep the donator connected to the school. More on this in later post, soon! I'm amazed by my big brother Patrick's energy.

Meanwhile at the school there's a big day of cleaning schoolyard. All the plastic wrappers are picked up by hands (kids immitate me saying in English "pick it up, pick it up") and while girls sweep the field, boys with a water-filled bucket repeat trips from the well to the toilet, which is first in unspeakable condition.

Patrick brought a French doctor and his family he met in his guest house. they are greeted with curious eyes of khmer children, a shy boy takes digital photos of the school from distance while a perky daughter with innocent smile joins right into the children's jump rope.
