Visit PKH and Farmland in Cambodia

On 18 April 2012, I went on a mission trip with my friend's church to Cambodia for 5 days. We stayed at PKH in Kg Speu for 2 nights. During the period, we taught the students who are studying Industrial Skill Training, workshop safety, 5S and measurements.

Currently, the ISC is training its 3rd batch. The 1st and 2nd batches were 21 students each. A summary of the employment history of the 2 batches are:

At night, we conducted english lessons for the students.

The trainers of the Industrial Skill Training have manage to organise the tool and materials room neatly as shown in the picture below. They have practise 5S concept effectively.

It is mango seasons and at PKH, the mango trees are fruiting. We were given a treat of mangoes from their harvest.

Next, we travel to Snoul, a small market town, close to the Vietnamese border and on the main road from Phnom Penh to Kratie, north east Cambodia and Laos. Along the way, we passed by rubber plantations, tapioca plantations and dragon fruits farm.

A Dragon Fruit Flower

At Snoul, we visited a farm that grows tapioca and dragon fruits. In June 2012, the dragon fruits were harvested. Inside the dragon fruit is red colour, high in anti-oxidant. The fruit taste sweet.

They have just harvested tapioca and have chopped them into pieces and dry them in the sun.



Below is a picture of how the workers in the farm stay.
