Day #2, The Harvest of this Habitat Build

The bus leaves the hotel at 7:30 and it is 1-1/2 hour ride to the Habitat site. Interesting scenery enroute, but now we see it everyday. the bus accommodates our team and a group of Cambodian translators who stay close to us during the day.
L to R:
FRONT ROW, JEREMY, MICHELLE, JIM
SECOND ROW, MONIQUE AND MELISSA
Today: down on the farm. Everyday, two or three of the volunteers are sent to the farm. Jim and Nancy were selected today.

Morning: Habitat in partnership with Australia's International Child Cares program is in charge of managing the farm. Residents are trained in planting and raising vegetables, trained to raise fish in the property's lake and will be trained for chicken farming. What did we do there? A little of everything.
