An update from Sarah in Cambodia…

The after-effects of Typhoon Ketsana are still going to be felt across Ratanakiri province for some time. Thank you to everyone who has sacrificially given to provide emergency relief and seeds to plant new crops so that families will have food beyond emergency handouts. I am in Ratanakiri province now, monitoring the relief project as well as doing some follow-up to the Storytelling Workshops from 19 November until 2 December. It is taking longer than expected to get flood affected villagers to adopt new crop strategies to make up for their lost rice crops, but we are still confident that by supplying watering cans as well as seed and training, their new crops will be successful.

Once I’ve seen all the flood-relief project sites I’ll send more progress information.
