Alan Wicklund & Jon Zulauf. Washington, U.S.A. June, 2013. Srah & Tnout Trom village. Well No.161-168

In June, 2013, Mr. Alan Wicklund & Mr. Jon Zulauf. Washington, U.S.A. have generosity support the Foundation for Water & Education, Cambodia (FWEC), by contruting the funds for a well for helping the poor poeple of Cambodia in a rural village of Siem Reap. Mr. Alan and Mr. Jon have been in Siem Reap for their vacation during May, 2013, and met me as their tour guide taking them around the temples and the remote village where the FWEC does the work on helping the poor people. They use to see the beneficiaries and experiencing the proccess of installing the well and the wells that already been installed. 

The construction of their well has been installed on a property of a family but they share the water with the family around. Before they have got a well they drank the water from the pit well in the depth of 2 meters deep. Although most of Cambodia has plenty of water, what is available to the majority of families is either natural surface water, or water made available in shallow, hand dug, pit well. Both of these sources are filled with mud, insects and covered over by even dirtier water during the yearly floods. They drank these sources that would make them get sick the stomach.

Having clean water from a relaible sourse not only allows families to have water for cooking and drinking but also allows for bathing and laundry, all of which reduces the causes of disease and illness. In addtion to better health and hygiene, the families will have the opportunity to plant an additional crop that not rely on seasonal flooding for irrigation. This additional crop creates a more balance diet and creates an economic opportunity by enabling the famliy to sell excess produce at the market. 

Thank you so much to Mr. Alan Wicklund & Mr. Jon Zulauf, that generous support the FWEC helping the poor people of Cambodian. On behalf of a Director/Founder and the teams of FWEC with Cambodian people we are really appreciate to your generosity and support. We pray for god blessing you alwasy.
