Glimpse of Kampong Cham

Three days in Kampong Cham went by quite fast. Most of our time were spent having meetings at our Kampong Cham office, or in the communities we serve/work with. But whatever little time we had in between, Neeta and I made sure we get to see even a just a teeny weeny glimpse of this place.


Walking by the river early in the morning while waiting for our colleagues to pick us up

The Mekong river and the boat (barge?)  en-route to
Vietnam

We went to a traditional restaurant in one of our lunches. Most of the traditional restaurants are provided with hammocks.


Waiting for lunch!

We had the pleasure of meeting people and groups in the villages, who we had the opportunity to work with towards the attainment of children's rights, child protection and child participation (yes, they are much more than a development worker's jargon :-)  ).

Interaction with commune council members and parents. I was (desperately) relying on my interpreter. :)

Photo ops after our interaction with the Village Protection Network and members of Children's Group

Photo ops with the parents, village leaders and some Kampong Cham staff, who patiently accompanied us and translated for us.


It was likewise a please working with the wonderful sponsorship team of our Kampong Cham office. Hope to see everyone again sometime!
