At Tuanio Primary School in Pagomogo Village, Core Team member Rosa and volunteer Harris also carried out a preliminary assessment of access to water, toilet, and handwashing facilities.

Activities in Cambodia have slowed down in recent months as our team is down to a single part-time member working one day per week. However, Sophorn and the rest of the team members remain committed to the communities we have been working with. She has been writing up a report on the Phnom Sanitation Project‘s latrine construction subsidy scheme, in preparation for consulting the residents on next steps.
