Today we visited the two villages again. Mr. Savet, chief of Village #1 (Khnar Ptol), took us to the future site of a new well, which we will drill the first week of March. This is where the 40 families that live there have no access to water during the dry season, which is now. They must buy their water, and all are extremely poor. They don't even have enough water to wash their clothes.

Mr. Savet introduced us to the families that live very close to the well site. We stood in the hot sun, explaining that God loves them very much and wants them to have good water and healthy lives. Everyone was very interested and listened carefully as our driver translated for us. Mr. Savet is excited that he will be able to provide them with water filters in their homes after the well is ready, so that they will all feel better.

We are still working out the details for the well site in village #2 (Trapaing Krasang). Hopefully it will be at the school, so that all the families in the area will have the use of the well, and especially the 350+ children that attend every day. It is obvious that the economy has suffered in this area and even the school seems to have suffered. The children and teachers don't seem as healthy as last year, so we are praying that the well and filtered water will make a big difference in their lives.
