Sorry mum, yes i did miss out yesterdays blog

Must try keep blog up to date as getting picked up on missing a day out haha.
Yesterday morning was up early again as was getting picked up at 8am to go out to the fish farm by a guy tony who is working on that side of the project. got picked up in air con car and it was fab!! Project is quite a bit away, i thought it was next to new hope but it's not. was very interesting morning, they are at present building two large fish ponds which they hope will be up and running in another few months and once they see how things go with the two ponds, if it is worthwhile etc they plan on doing a further two ponds. They have also trained a local guy next to where they are building and he is going to take care of the mushroom hut where they are growing two types of mushrooms. They have a large area with 1500 chickens and although they are in boxes, 2 in each box they look much healthier than the 1s you see on tv and they get quite a lot of eggs per day which in turn they sell to hotels and restraunts (75cents for 10eggs). they also apparently dry out the chicken poo and sell that. At the moment, they are building a house which one of the families will move into who work in the farm. Unsure of how much the house will cost to build but they are hoping to build a further 15houses. Once the fish and mushroom farm are up and running they hope to earn about 25,000 US Dollars a year and that if the amount left after paying all their workers, electricity costs etc. The workers get paid 3.5dollars a day which does not sound much but is pretty good compared to most jobs over here and they also get to stay in the houses and get electricity for free. They are moving some folk from area that new hope is in to this area slowly if they have the skills and are willing to work hard. I asked the question about where the money would go and tony said all money raised will go back to helping the people in area i working in at present. they eventually hope to build a school out at the fish farm area. will be interesting to find out how things are going when all up and running.

School in the afternoon, my class was much smaller today. today they had stories and the book we had to read them was a bit old for them so made up own story and let them do some drawings. Helped tracey the nurse do a couple of dressings on the kids that had biopsies done the other day in pnom penh. they are such brave children. they each had like 5 or 6 stitches in for a biopsy. fingers crossed that they can get some treatment, not sure how good it looks for them though :-( medical clinic is closed for a couple of days as they need to get a new licence so are able to do dressings etc but cannot give out any medications.

In the evening i went to pub quiz again, we came 4th! improving slowly but quiz very difficult some of the questions i dont even understand haha never mind knowing the answers.
